About Rachel
Hi,
my name is Rachel and I am a professional web developer with over 10 years of experience. Since my second month on wyzant, I am continuously among the top five tutors in my area (across all subjects).
Overview:
All subjects can be accommodated in English or German.
10+ years of JS experience including vanilla, nodeJS, as well as common frame-works (angular, react, vue, etc).
10+ years of PHP experience including native, OOP, as well as common frameworks (laravel, neoan3, etc)
10+ years of SQL experience including Data Analysis, Big Data, Architecture&Design and - of course - complex queries.
5+ years of TOEFL preparation & teaching German as a second language.
COVID-19 schedule:
While working at home has been the regular case for me for quite some time now, the current situation has led to more availability throughout the day. Feel free to request lessons outside my official availability - chances are I can accommodate.
I have always had interest in teaching and enjoyed spreading knowledge throughout my life.
While studying Japanese, American Literature and Philosophy at the University of Munich, I picked up various jobs to support myself. Next to my passion for web development, I taught sales techniques based on my Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) education to clients of my employer at that time.
I soon noticed that what I have learned about behavior and human interaction was applicable to various subjects and provides me with the ability to adapt to the very way the learner intakes new knowledge.
This skill came in particularly handy when I started giving English lessons to small groups and especially one-on-one sessions. The "trick" is rather simple: learning is a very individual experience. Rather than only relying on established material, I will try to package required knowledge suited to your needs and in a format "digestible" for your personality.
Fast forward, I have spent the last two years working for a training company and delivered knowledge to clients in live-sessions as well as through creating materials. Based on the combination of my skills, I also onboarded new team members and designed curricula for internal and external use
