About Rachel Curylo

I’m an instructional coach and educator with a strong track record supporting adult learners and educators in fully virtual environments. My work centers on helping teachers strengthen engagement, reflect on practice, and implement high-impact, student-centered strategies that work in real classrooms.I specialize in virtual instruction and engagement, supporting educators and students through platforms such as Engageli, Google Classroom, and Google Workspace. I enjoy designing learning experiences that feel human, accessible, and responsive—especially in online spaces where connection can easily be lost.Alongside my work in education, I’m currently a Master’s student in Mental Health Counseling, with a growing interest in mediation, emotional regulation, and trauma-responsive communication with students, families, and educators. This training informs how I approach coaching, family partnerships, and complex problem-solving.serve.
