Rachel S.

Private tutor in Brooklyn, NY

Education

I graduated from Touro College in 2011, with a major in history and a minor in English literature. My GPA was 3.85. I am currently enrolled in a history masters degree program at Fordham University, graduating next June. I am training to become a historian, and am preparing for my PhD in history.

Experience

Along the way towards my PhD, I have had many teaching opportunities. I have taught in CUNY colleges like John Jay and Hunter, as well as in the capacity of private tutor. Through these experiences, I developed a deep interest in education. I have come to believe that many students lack the ability to succeed in the liberal arts because they never developed adequate writing skills. I have worked with all of my students to efficiently absorb information, practice critical thinking, and improve their ability to read and write effectively. I love teaching, and having gotten a perfect score on the SAT, I know the material that high school and college students need in order to thrive academically. As a part-time professor, my teaching has been very well rated by CUNY. If you would like statistics or details, please contact me.

Hobbies

I am an outdoors person, who hikes and bikes and does carpentry. I have adopted more animals than I would like to count! I like to read, of course, and I am interested in philosophy and music, but I also love fixing things. You will probably find me to be quite well-rounded, and I hope we can hit it off--personally, as well as professionally.
