About
I really do take the time to communicate with my students and observe how they work in their own math environment. I prefer to talk with each student and find our what their perceptions are about their coursework, the class instructor, assignments and exams, and what the they perceive as weaknesses and strengths.
Over several sessions I observe problem solving patterns, study behaviors, and overall comprehension of each student. Through communication and observation I'm able to make suggestions for the the best approach to take to improve grades and to help my students improve their study habits.

Rachel is a great tutor!...she responded on very short notice this summer to assist my son trying to complete a math course required for his bachelor's degree after an extended illness...the time frame was limited to catch up and the odds of him passing the tests and completion on time were not in his favor. With Rachel's help he was able to pass and complete what was necessary. I am now the proud mother of a U of A graduate!🎓😁 Thanks again Rachel...you were heaven sent!

Our daughter was not motivated to do her Algebra 1 work without a teacher. Miss Wilhite even agreed to do the homework so they can compare how they got the results. Miss Wilhite shares her passion for math with her students.

Rachel is patient, and demonstrates compassion for my 8 year old. Comes prepared with fun games to keep him engaged. Encourages him and makes him feel more motivated. 4 sessions so far and plan to continue! Must mention, my son likes her a lot too, most importantly!

FAQs

$55/hr (K-12), $65(College), $70(Statistics), $80/hr (ACT/SAT Exam Prep), $85 (Consulting), 1hr session cancellation/no show fee (if cancelled within 6 hours of scheduled time)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a B.S. in mathematics and statistics, a Master's in Public Health with a concentration in biostatistics, and I am ABD (PhDc) in epidemiology.
My continuing education comes in the form of the actual job. As you tutor you receive continuing education everyday! Thus, the joy and challenge is inherent in my job.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've provide mathematics tutoring in every math for elementary through college and statistics tutoring for high school through grad school.
To prepare students for college level mathematics and future career choices I also incorporate deductive reasoning and critical thinking into every tutoring session.
Deductive reasoning is more commonly taught in reading but the concepts of applied logic, reasoning, and engaging in problem solving are important factors in mathematics comprehension
as well!
Every critical thinking exercise is uniquely selected for each student's level of comprehension.I work towards providing a challenging and enriched experience for all students.
