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!

We met Rachna through a recommendation from another parent who was very happy with her teaching approach. We were instantly impressed with Rachna and her interactions with my son. She designed the Math curriculum according to my Son's requirements and his capabilities. She genuinely cares about her students. My son loves attending Rachna's classes and never feels bored. Rachna keeps the students engaged all through the session with hands on activities and quizzes. She is one of the best teachers I have met.

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.

We have known teacher Rachna for 7 years now. She is incredibly caring and smart. RAAC Academy offers very valuable courses which are perfect for homeschooling families as well as traditional students who want to supplement with additional learning experiences. Over the years, my kids have taken grammar, math, spelling, Lego robotics, and participated in the NASA challenge. I highly recommend RAAC Academy and her leader Teacher Rachna.

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 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!

I enrolled my child in Personal Finance, Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, and Collaborate and Elaborate. Rachna inspired, encouraged and challenged him. He would come home full of ideas and excited to continue learning with her. I have never seen a 9 year old so excited to create a business and website! She was very patient and considerate of any learning challenges he had, which I greatly appreciated. I love the small class sizes that allow for such a tailored learning experience.

My son would like to add that he loves the finance classes because he enjoyed playing the stock market game and the worksheets. He learned so much about building a website and marketing.

Rachna's dedication to her students is truly admirable. She makes learning fun. She creates a safe and supportive classroom environment, with a hands-on and an interactive approach, keeping kids engaged even with challenging projects. Her caring commitment to her students makes a lasting impact--my son will always remember his time in Mrs. Rachna's class as the most fun of all time!
