Rachel

I am an experienced English teacher, having taught in independent schools for over 20 years. I love helping learners who might be struggling in one way or another, possibly feeling swamped and needing one-to-one support. I have been told I instill confidence and understand why and in what area learners may be needing help..

FEEDBACK: (Comment from parent of learner I taught for approximately two years: "Yes, I do know Rachel from a tutoring environment, and I feel Rachel relates to children exceptionally well, and is more than capable of establishing appropriate working relationships with students.
Rachel has been an exceptional example of how to calm a child for whom reading had become a source of great stress and anxiety and help them to approach reading without fear of failure or reprimand, and to actually enjoy and look forward to the lessons. By creating this safe place Rachel has brought out the best in my child and reading became associated with fun and the satisfaction of success.

Rachel`s experience and wisdom are way ahead of the younger generation and she will be of great help to whomsoever has the privilege of spending time with her."

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have taught a wide range of learners in independent schools. I have considerable experience in private one-to-one tuition, both online and face-to-face. I have enjoyed teaching younger learners, including those who wish to improve their Reading and Writing skills.

I enjoy teaching both English language and English literature. I have marked examinations for a leading examination board, including IGCSE examinations at O level and international A level (literature) and AS level (language and literature).

Recently, I have enjoyed teaching younger learners who need to gain confidence in their Reading and Writing skills: learners from the ages of 8 years old and upwards. I have helped learners prepare for the 11 plus, and for entrance examinations to grammar schools and independent schools.

My teaching style is relaxed and I enjoy forming a teacher/learner relationship so that we can work together productively I am good at tailoring the content of lessons to suit the learner`s needs, at the level that is needed. I have been able to instill confidence in learners whose self-esteem is low for one reason or another.
