Learn at your own pace

Racquel D.

Every student has the ability to learn when concepts are explained in a way that connects with their individual learning style. With more than 20 years of experience teaching , tutoring and supporting students in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and related subjects, I have dedicated my career to helping learners turn confusion into understanding and frustration into confidence. I hold a Master of Science in Teaching Adolescence Mathematics for grades 7–12 from Fordham University, along with undergraduate and graduate degrees in Computer Science from Lehman College, CUNY. I also hold a TEFL certification and have experience supporting students in online learning environments.

Throughout my career, I have worked primarily with middle, high school, college students, and adult learners of different academic abilities and learning styles in classroom, one-on-one, and online tutoring settings. My approach begins with identifying what a student already understands and where the learning gaps exist. I break challenging concepts into manageable steps and use clear explanations, examples, guided practice, visual learning strategies, and real-world applications to make difficult material easier to understand.

I am especially qualified to tutor Mathematics and foundational Computer Science and technology-related subjects. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and individualized because I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is not simply to help students find the correct answer, but to help them understand the reasoning behind it, build confidence, and develop the skills to become more independent and successful learners.
