Powered by GoogleWe have two girls, ages 8 and 10, in Mrs. Rachna’s NASA class, and we are beyond impressed! The variety of assignments she provides each week is engaging, creative, and exactly what we were looking for to meet our science goals this semester. The girls absolutely love Mrs. Rachna and the other students. They look forward to class every time. The patience, kindness, and encouragement she shows her students are truly exceptional : ). We are so grateful for the positive and inspiring learning environment she creates.
We loved our experience with RAAC Academy. Mrs. Rachna is an incredible teacher, very knowledgeable, patient and kind. She made the NASA project an amazing success for our son! Although it was very stressful at times, she helped the team navigate the challenges with the utmost professionalism and care. We highly recommend RAAC academy!
Rachna Patel is a talented STEM educator who goes above and beyond to engage and support her students. My kids have taken RAAC courses in science, history, art, along with reading & math enrichment. Mrs. Rachna’s teaching style truly captures my kids’ attention, sparking their curiosity and love for learning. Her ability to connect with each child, adapting to their unique learning styles and needs, has made a lasting impact. She's flexible, patient, and always provides the right amount of support to help them succeed. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and the positive influence she’s had on my kids’ education. RAAC has also offered amazing opportunities for my eldest son, who participated in the NASA Explorations course in 8th grade, where he and his team won 1st place in the Artemis Roads Challenge, which led to a trip to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida where they met with NASA scientists, saw a live space shuttle launch, and had the time of their lives doing real-world science with their peers across the US. This experience has been unmatched thus far in our educational journey. RAAC is the real-deal!
Rachna's teaching approach has consistently impressed both my children and me. As an educator myself, I particularly appreciate her commitment to hands-on learning, which not only enhances retention but also keeps students genuinely enthusiastic about what they are learning. Her NASA project, for instance, pushed my older child to expand her intellectual boundaries and think beyond her limits. More than just an instructor, Rachna creates a nurturing environment that feels like a second home, instilling such trust that I am completely confident in entrusting my children to her care. Do explore the courses that she offers for your kids!
Rachna absolutely LOVES interacting with her students and showing them ways to make learning fun, engaging, and impactful. I had all three of my boys ages 10, 8, and 7 enrolled in her classes. They took her Science & Anatomy class, as well as the History & Geography class. In every session, you could tell how much thought, effort, and energy went into making sure the kids were getting the most out of their learning experience. Rachna expertly managed a class with a mix of student ages, personalities, and interest, and gave attention and help to each student. She was also quick and responsive with communicating with me as a parent via text, phone calls, and e-mails. My boys were always coming back with fun take homes related to their lessons, but even more importantly, they were able to gain a kind, caring, and thoughtful teacher in Rachna.
