About Me
italki teacher since Feb 7, 2014Interest topicBusiness & FinanceWritingTech
I am originally from Northamptonshire in the UK, and have had a varied career, first qualifying with a teaching degree in Manchester, then spending time working in purchasing and import/export for a promotional gift company. I then spent many years as a Business Analyst with a major insurance company working both on an organisation-wide transformation program and later as part of projects to bring new services online, before finally working as a manager to help establish the newly established customer contact centre. Following this, I moved to Italy and renewed my teaching credentials with a Master's in English Language Teaching.Me as a Teacher
I specialise in teaching confidence and fluency, solving English language problems for learners, especially business professionals - for general communication, meetings, presentations, interviews, and much more! I have a dynamic and flexible approach to lessons. I believe that the important thing is for lessons to be useful and interesting. Your needs are my priority!My lessons & teaching style
I design lessons so that they meet your goals and objectives. I will use a variety of materials as long as they are relevant and of value to you! With me, you can follow a course or we can do lessons on things that you feel are a priority.My teaching material

Rachel is incredibly supportive, she gave me precious tips on how to prepare myself for the IELTS exam and also made me feel less anxious, which was something that I really needed. And technically speaking, she is perfect. I would recommend her for anybody who wishes to learn and improve English skills or IELTS preparation.
