About Rachel

REASONS WHY I AM THE PERFECT TUTOR FOR YOU! 

I am highly experienced in working with children who have a wide range of learning challenges and special educational needs (SEN). Equipped with extensive knowledge, I can effectively address various learning difficulties and provide the best guidance and resources to overcome their learning obstacles.

I customise the learning process for each child to ensure they receive the most effective and efficient support to reach their full potential. Every child possesses their own distinct strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and pace, so it only makes sense for me to tailor my teaching approach to meet the specific needs of each student.

I am a highly empathetic and patient tutor. Learning can be a journey filled with ups and downs, and I know how essential a nurturing and supportive environment is. For that reason, every single tutoring session is filled to the brim with empathy, patience, and encouragement. By building that positive rapport with my student, I create a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions and expressing themselves.

Regular Progress Monitoring: I value transparency and understand the importance of keeping parents informed about their child's progress. Through regular feedback and progress reports, you can stay up-to-date on your child's achievements and areas that may need further attention.

My commitment to your child's growth goes beyond academics. I believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals. Alongside academic progress, I focus on developing essential life skills (such as communication), boosting self-esteem, and promoting independence.

I have extensively studied and analysed literature from all genres and authors for many years. Tutoring is now my full-time profession, but I come from a library background in academic services. I am also a fully qualified exam marker and invigilator. 

Tutoring Style

I am immeasurably lucky to be able to tutor both school-attending and home-educated students. Some students I spend a couple of hours with, some a few months, and others I currently have the pleasure of being with for 3-4 years in preparation for their SATs, GCSEs or A-levels. Whatever your needs, I can promise you will find both a tutor and a mentor in me, and I will adapt to your needs. I am highly academic and love to enthusiastically share my knowledge with others. Tutoring is extremely rewarding for me, and I will take the time to make sure that you understand everything fully and (hopefully) develop a love for the subject! I see myself as being very calm and patient and good at explaining myself in clear spoken English. 

I always encourage questions and plan all my lessons in advance to make the best use of the session. Each lesson is specifically created and tailored to my student's needs, and I take pride in being 110% committed to you and to your child. I will regularly send homework in order to test and mark your childs ability/progress and give them feedback. I do this to enhance their written ability in order to gain full marks in the exam (though I never promise certain grades). I know exactly what the exam boards are looking for, since I am also a fully qualified exam invigilator, and I have access to a range of past papers from different exam boards. 

I am also highly experienced when it comes to students who perhaps dont enjoy English as a subject, are quiet in themselves, and struggle to concentrate.I have a deep understanding of the English language, including grammar, vocabulary, and usage, and I am familiar with different teaching methods, which means that I am able to adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of my students. I consider myself to be very patient, understanding, and motivated to help every student succeed. I am an excellent communicator and am able to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise way, as well as being creative and innovative in terms of coming up with new and engaging ways to teach the English language.In addition to my teaching skills, 

I am also a great listener and am able to understand my students needs. I am supportive and encouraging in every lesson, and I focus on creating a positive learning environment where my students feel comfortable asking questions and taking risks.Find out more about tutoring below! I am easily contactable via email or phone Please contact me as soon as possible to organise a suitable timeslot (as I am proud to say that I am a popular tutor who becomes fully booked quickly), and I will endeavour to accommodate you.
