Helping children build confidence, strengthen skills, and feel successful through engaging, individualized support
Reading, writing, math, ADHD, learning differences, and early developmental support for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children
My Commitment to Your Child's Success
At Happy Minds Tutoring, I’m proud to offer personalized, face-to-face or online support for kids from infants through 5th grade! I specialize in reading, writing, social skills, executive functioning, attention challenges, ADHD, neuroaffirming support, play, child development, special education, and parenting support. I can also help with subjects like math, science, and social studies through elementary school.
Whether your child is homeschooled or attends a private, public, or charter school, I provide individualized support tailored to their unique needs. I travel throughout most of North County San Diego, including Vista, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, Escondido, and surrounding areas, or we can meet online.
I accept charter funds, self-determination funds, and scholarships to help make services more accessible.
I use evidence-based methods to help students not only improve academically, but also build confidence and develop a genuine love of learning so things feel easier, calmer, and more successful at home.
With Happy Minds, you know exactly who your child will be working with, a kind, credentialed teacher with a master’s degree in Early Childhood and Special Education and all 5-star reviews on Google!
Even just a few sessions can make a meaningful difference.
If you’re looking for high-quality, customized support that feels both effective and supportive, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out to chat using the contact button below to see if I'm a good fit for your family!
"...invaluable!"
“My daughter truly looks forward to her Thursday evening tutoring sessions with Rachael! Over the past few months, Rachael has gotten to know what engages her most and turns topics into a game or challenge, which is my daughter’s love language. She’s extremely patient and organized and gives me a quick update on her progress each session. I’ve even done quick phone calls with Rachael before my daughter’s tests or meetings with the school to make sure we’re all on the same page. She’s helped coach me on what to ask for which is invaluable!”

“So many others have tried and failed…”
“We hired Rachael to tutor my 10 y/o daughter, S, who has been struggling in school. So many others have tried and failed (including IEP teachers) to get through to S, however Rachael’s calm but fun demeanor met my daughter right where she needed to be. Rachael was able to quickly identify S’s weakness and how to help her through them. After only 4 weeks or so of tutoring , S got an A- on a math test. We couldn’t be happier with the extra support Rachael has brought to S’s school experience.”

“[Rachael] has been [my daughter’s] consistent champion for her self belief.”
“Rachael was not only the person to teach her the skills she needed in Math but most importantly has been her consistent champion for her self belief. This has translated into all of her academics and she is now performing to the highest grades. Rachael is a gem. Her patience and methods work.”
