Expert Math Tutoring

You choose an experienced teacher, not a tutor-matching service.
Unlike a company that matches you with an available tutor, Lumina means working directly with me, Rachel: a BC-certified teacher with more than 20 years of experience across school, private and university settings. The expertise you choose is the expertise in your lesson.

​

I find the learning gap, not just the answer.
Homework help can get a question finished. My teaching looks at why a student is stuck, rebuilds missing foundations and checks whether they can apply the idea independently. As a mathematics curriculum author, I understand how concepts connect and how to teach the steps between them.

​

My expertise continues well beyond high-school math.
I teach every first-, second- and third-year UBC MATH course, including honours mathematics. From foundational numeracy to calculus, linear algebra, differential equations and analysis, students receive teaching informed by the mathematics that comes next.

​

The teaching adapts to the learner.
My inclusive education and homeschooling experience informs support for ADHD, autism, mental health barriers and any IEP designation. I adapt explanations, pacing and practice while maintaining meaningful academic expectations. I also hold a Mental Health First Aid certificate.

At $90–$120 per hour, you are investing in this combination of professional teaching, advanced subject expertise and individualized attention, with the aim of lasting understanding, confidence and independence.
