About Raina

(please contact me at (concealed information) or reach out to me on LinkedIn: (concealed information)

Hello!

My name is Raina, and I am currently a sophomore at the University of California, Berkeley. I have been tutoring students of all ages for three years now.

My strengths lie in communication, both written and oral. Thus, I am an especially passionate and effective tutor for helping students better their writing skills, both for AP classes and general improvement, as well as their public speaking. I have competed in many public speaking clubs in the past and understand how difficult it can be. I love collaborating with students to not only teach them speaking techniques, but also to increase their confidence and interpersonal skills! The full range of subjects I teach is: writing (general), public speaking, English (general), AP English courses, AP History courses, college essay guidance, and college counseling.

Some examples of students I have taught in the past are:

- An ESL student in ninth grade who needed help with adapting to high school English classes.

- An eighth student with stage fright, whom I coached in both speech and debate.

- Multiple high school students in AP US History coursework.

- Multiple high school students in need of college counseling and college essay editing.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you feel that you or your child would benefit from my skills and experience! I genuinely enjoy working with students, and I would absolutely love to meet you.

I love getting to know students and helping them make progress! Breakthroughs are the best kind of earned victories.

I am qualified to teach several AP courses for high school students. I received a 5 on exams such as AP English Language and Composition, AP US History, AP World History, and AP Macroeconomics. I also have a passion for public speaking and consider it a genuine joy to help others better their speaking skills. In high school, I competed extensively in Mock Trial and Model United Nations. My team won the Mock Trial county championship, and I was personally awarded the "Outstanding Attorney" distinction at both the county and statewide Mock Trial competitions. Last but not least, as an incoming sophomore at Berkeley, I completed the college application process. I am all too aware of the anxieties and confusion attached to this stage of a high school student's life, and I have a recent understanding of what it takes to be a successful applicant. I enjoy editing essays, and I have had past students (some who are now attending Ivy League institutions) gush that they would not have been admitted without my feedback!

About the lesson

When I receive a new student, the first thing I do is set up a free consultation. This meeting is essential because it is my chance to pinpoint what is holding the student back, and what their potential learning style is. I also consider it crucial to first build rapport with the student to create a comfortable teaching environment. Then, I tailor a customized lesson plan specific to the student and their needs based off the consultation, so that I can target the student's unique needs.
