Hello, I’m Rainah, an educator since 2015 with a passion for teaching Mathematics. I’ve taught students from elementary to tertiary levels, including online classes for US-based learners. Additionally, I’ve authored two books under MSA Publishing: Math Olympiad Reviewer and Elementary Algebra Workbook, designed to help students excel in mathematics. I’ve also held leadership roles, including serving as General Education Program Head and Senior High School Assistant Principal. My mission as an educator is to foster an engaging and supportive learning environment that inspires growth and critical thinking. Teaching is more than a profession to me—it’s my calling, and I am committed to empowering my students to reach their full potential. I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education, majoring in Mathematics. I am a licensed professional teacher and TEFL certified, which allows me to teach students from diverse backgrounds. I chose to become a math teacher because of my deep passion for the subject and the joy I find in helping students discover its beauty and real-world applications. Teaching, for me, is the best option as it allows me to inspire and shape the minds of the next generation while fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom.

I teach senior high school mathematics at all levels, from foundational to advanced. With years of experience as a government tax specialist and roles as a system analyst, programmer, and statistician in IT, I transitioned to teaching, which has always been my passion. I began tutoring in college to support my expenses and discovered the rewarding challenge of working with a student with dyscalculia. Through tailored strategies and building strong rapport, she succeeded. My diverse background has made me resourceful and innovative, enhancing my effectiveness in both teaching and problem-solving. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from St. Scholastica’s College, Manila, where I completed challenging courses such as Calculus, Statistical Analysis, Number Theory, and Linear Algebra. I also pursued post-graduate studies in Mathematics Education at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, focusing on educational strategies and child development, with research on learning disabilities. Although I couldn’t complete my thesis due to budget constraints, I am skilled in teaching all levels of mathematics, including Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Statistics, and Business Mathematics.
