I was a high school teacher for 3 years before going back to graduate school. After obtaining Ph. D in physics, I became a college physics professor. I have taught at a public 4-year university for 15 years. I have CCP students in my classes every semester. I am experienced with working with both high school students, college students and non-traditional students.
The most rewarding part of being an educator is to see students succeed. I believe everyone has his/her own learning style. The best teaching style is to match with the student's learning style.

Patient and explains things clearly

Always explains things clearly and allows students a moment to try to figure it out by themselves before explaining it. Shows all of the steps so the student isn’t lost about how they got from one point to another.

Wonderful physics tutor

Rachel was excellent and really focused in on what was needed for my son's knowledge gap in Physics. I really appreciate her help and will continue to work with her. My physics student was extremely happy with her level of knowledge and tips to make this subject so accessible. A wonderful tutor.

Knowlegable and Insightful

Rachel helped me prepare for a physics 2 exam. Explaining the concepts and assisting with specific problems helped me prepare for future tests as well my current test.

Tim, 12 lessons with Rachel

Phenomenal AP Physics Tutor!

My son has tried multiple physics tutors but really connected with Rachel on AP Physics. When he has trouble mastering any concepts or approaching certain types of problems, Rachel has been able to simplify them and explain the concepts in a way that my son can then apply effectively, Extremely thorough grasp of the issues, but more importantly how to teach them. I highly recommend Rachel.
