I am a fully trained and licensed Physical Therapist. I have completed undergraduate coursework in physical and life sciences receiving a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences from Drexel University in 2017 as well as a graduate Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Drexel in 2019. I worked as a Teaching Assistant at Drexel University and the University of Pittsburgh's DPT programs. Additionally, I recently completed a Geriatric Residency with UPMC in 2022 and receiving my Board Certification as a Clinical Specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy from APTA in 2023.

I am interested in tutoring students in Physical Therapy/ Physical Therapy Assistant program and students preparing to take the NPTE or NPTAE. I can also assist in the PT/PTA school application process/personal statement/supplemental essays! Please reach out if you are in another discipline and we can discuss your needs. My best success as a student was understanding how to study, having excellent time management skills, and making sure I really understood the information at a deeper level past memorization. I want to help students I tutor learn study habits, test taking strategies, and how to be a better student to apply to all coursework as well as focus on specific subject content and areas to improve upon. I can help identify areas of weakness and implement an action plan to address those specific needs. I can cater to the type of learner you are and give specific tools including how to use flash cards, study guides, when to do readings, and scheduling studying to give help have all of the keys to success. I look forward to broadening your knowledge and helping you succeed!

Excellent NPTE Prep

I started tutoring with Rachel my first year of PT school to help develop good study habits. Now two years later she's helping me with NPTE prep! Rachel is a gifted educator and clinician and her guidance has been one of the best influences on my PT school and NPTE test prep! Do yourself a favor before you get overwhelmed and book a lesson with Rachel - you'll be glad you did!

NPTE Tutoring

Rachel helped me pass the NPTE on my second attempt! After failing my first attempt, I found Rachel and started tutoring about once a week for a couple of months. Rachel is very knowledgeable and patient. She helped me go through different study tactics and strategies for taking exams. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone trying to pass the NPTE!

NPTE Tutoring

I successfully passed my 2nd attempt at the NPTE and Rachel was a big help to that. Rachel is a wonderful tutor and genuinely wants to help you succeed. During this time of me preparing for the exam Rachel really helped me find my weaknesses, helped me boost my confidence, and overall helped me figure out how to study for this exam and go into the exam feeling prepared. I would definitely recommend Rachel!!

NPTE tutoring

During my NPTE exam preparation, I had three lessons with Rachel where we discussed different test-taking strategies, and she would review practice questions with me to help me become more confident. Rachel assisted me in identifying my strengths and weaknesses and provided me with various ways to address my weaknesses. Initially, I lacked confidence a month before the exam, but with each session with Rachel, my confidence increased. Rachel was very patient and understanding, and choosing her as my tutor for the NPTE was one of the best decisions I made to feel well-prepared.

Great Teacher

Very easy to talk to, very nonjudgmental so makes you feel super comfortable! She is always very knowledgeable and can answer just about any question.

Great NPTE Tutor!

I was in tutoring sessions with Rachel 2 days before my NPTE exam for PTA school which I passed! She helped me stay organized and gave me structure to my studying. She sometimes had a 'no sugar-coating' approach to feedback but it was honest and to the point. Thanks for helping me!

Patient and Helpful Tutor

I had a great experience working with Rachel! She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful in preparation for the NPTE. I had a lot of anxiety with the exam and Rachel allowed me to speak freely and we discussed tips on how I can combat my anxiety. She helped me understand my weak areas and where to focus in my final weeks before the exam. I recommend her to anyone who feels they need extra personal support with NPTE prep.

Awesome Tutor!

Thank you to Rachel for all the tips and help! I just wanted to write an updated review since I passed my NPTE exam last month!! If it wasn't for Rachel showing me how to apply my knowledge towards questions by using foundational information to guide you to the answer I would still be having trouble with passing this exam! Thank you again Rachel!

NPTE Tutoring

Having Rachel as my tutor for the NPTE was the absolute BEST decision l’ve ever made and my only regret is not contacting her sooner. She was able to pinpoint the specific topics in certain areas that I was lacking in when I couldn’t. She is knowledgeable in test taking strategies and is able to tailor sessions to your specific needs. With her help I was able to finally pass my practice exams and felt good and confident going into the actual exam. Honestly, having her as my tutor was the difference that finally helped me pass after failed attempts. While NPTE prep courses are helpful, having 1 on 1 tutoring time with Rachel made all the difference and it was well worth it to see that passed screen!
