About
Hello!!
My job is to make myself redundant. I want to grow your confidence and independence in your study. How I primarily achieve this is by teaching you specific skills, processes and mental framework that will allow you to become self guided. Along with those skills I want to ingrain, I can also provide an extensive knowledge of SACE Stage 1 & 2 curriculum.
My name is Rachel, and I finished Year 12 in 2019. I am currently in second year studying Paramedicine at Flinders University. I have three year experience tutoring and have assisted over 40 students during this time.
I studied Specialist Maths, Mathematical Methods, Biology, Chemistry and Design. I achieved an ATAR of 99.95 with adjustment factors. I got an A+ in Chemistry (19.60), Methods (19.40) and Biology (19.20), and A's in Specialist and Design.
I really enjoy explaining concepts to my peers, and finding different ways to communicate the same idea to students. I have a passion for understanding complex topics, which has allowed me to develop extensive knowledge of the subjects that I studied in Year 12.
I achieved excellent grades, but more importantly, I focus upon gaining an intimate understanding of the content within each topic of each subject, which allowed me to perform well in tests and assignments. I believe that this positive attitude to learning will infect any student that I tutor.
I have a current Police Check, DCSI (Working With Children Check) and Child Safe Training.
Thanks for reading!
I hope to hear from you soon :)

Rachel offers great support for students, ranging from explanations of concepts to practice questions and drafting help. She gave me really helpful feedback on my Biology practical report, allowing me to achieve an A!!!

My lessons with Rachel have been great! She is really outgoing, and I felt comfortable around her from the very start! She has extensive knowledge of year 12 Methods and Chemistry, explains everything concisely and clearly. I would highly recommend her to any other student!

I have known Rachel for several years now, and I have seen her grow into a confident, outgoing individual. She has shown a high level of dedication, both in terms of academic achievement, but also by going above and beyond to establish lasting relationships, exemplifying her maturity.
