Hi, I'm Rachel
Founder of MyFrenchU and The Private Practice Teacher®
For me, a teacher is much more than a content delivery specialist. A teacher is a mentor, a resource for their students to help them thrive, see their own potential, & help them achieve their goals. Sadly, current education systems make that kind of teaching harder and harder to accomplish - especially if your life has demands outside of the classroom.
This is my Story
I moved around a lot as a child, living in 3 different states, and attending 8 different schools in 7 different districts. I attended schools in areas that were low-income, high-income, rural, urban, and everything in between. One of the few things that was consistent in my life was a great teacher. No matter where I found myself, I always had at least one great teacher who helped me feel wanted and safe. That's why I've wanted to be a teacher ever since I can remember.
Finally COVID made it impossible for me to manage the demands of both school-life & home-life. I made the heart-breaking decision to leave teaching, BUT I missed it so much! That's when I decided to try to create my own private teaching business & MyFrenchU was born.
Now, with The Private Practice Teacher ®, I’ve turned my teacher entrepreneur journey into a step-by-step mentorship program for innovative, passionate, student-centered teachers who want to do what I do and start enjoying life like never before.
If other educated professionals can go into private practice, so can teachers.

''Rachel always says that we could figure this all out on our own, but I really don't think that I could have. The information in the course, the sequencing of it, and the support was exactly what I needed to create my business.''
Teachers deserve to have the autonomy to practice their profession in a manner that is consistent with why they chose teaching in the first place.
