In my spare time I love reading, TV and film and to travel. Personally, I find the best thing about travelling is sampling new foods. I have a sweet tooth so anything to do with sweet and sour dishes or desserts delight my tastebuds! Have you watched The Great British Bake Off? I highly recommend watching it to get an insight into British life and our sense of humour. However, you have been warned… it may make you feel rather peckish!
As a life long learner I am currently studying part time for a Counselling qualification here in the UK. I have a gorgeous Shih Tzu dog named Chutney who sometimes makes an appearance in lessons but usually sleeps and keeps my feet warm.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been teaching exclusively online now for three years and love it! I'm a qualified Primary School Teacher and taught children in UK schools for five years before living in France, Canada and Malaysia. When I lived in France I gained my CELTA Teaching English to Adults qualification and worked for two years teaching children and adults at the British Council in Paris. I taught all levels from beginners and intermediate classes to advanced conversation classes and even bilingual students who needed specific help with literacy skills.
I love learning new things so will happily research your chosen profession or subject in more depth. Perhaps you can teach me something new?
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I hope my calm, fun and friendly personality will help you feel confident to speak up and express your ideas and opinions. I will be a patient teacher who supports and challenges you at the same time. When learning with me, mistakes are actively encouraged... this may sound strange but with each mistake you make, you learn from it. I will guide you to notice these mistakes and even correct yourself because in my experience, that is how you learn best.
If you choose to take lessons with me, we will first spend time discussing what you want to achieve and how I can help you reach your language goals. I look forward to meeting you and to working with you on your English language journey!

Rachael has been teaching regularly to my eight-year old son. She's a very enthusiastic, kind and attentive teacher who knows how to instruct kids in creative ways. My son is progressing, and he's becoming more confident in English. We'll always thank you, Rachael!

I had another very nice lesson with Rachel. Because I didn’t have lessons for a longer time due to time reasons, I talked a lot. Speaking is the hardest part for me. Rachel always listens patiently and corrects my mistakes in a nice way. She motivates me and pays attention to my needs. She is flexible and considers what I want. That’s why I can really recommend lessons with Rachel.

I had a very pleasant conversation lesson with Rachel today. We talked about my weekend and an article I had read beforehand. She corrected my mistakes and helped me with speaking and pronunciation. She did this in a very kind manner, so I felt comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend taking lessons with her.

I had a trial lesson with Rachel. She is a very patient and kind teacher. My conversation with her was very relaxing, and I wasn't afraid to speak English. She gave me recommendations on how we could study in future lessons. I think I will book another lesson with her. Thank you very much. I had a great time.
