Rachel has been a brilliant addition to our son’s education. His writing sophistication and quality of analysis has increased dramatically since he started working with Rachel. She keeps him attentive and focused through hour long online sessions, a real achievement for a 10 year old.
Thank you for this lovely feedback, Lora! I love tutoring your son - he has an astute mind and a great sense of humour. I am looking forward to engaging him in creative and unique ways in future lessons.

Thank you so much Rachel for giving my son such great detailed feedback. Your comments have been invaluable, you clearly took a lot of time an effort to provide so much constructive advice , it is really appreciated was a much needed support for him.
Thank you, Lisa - it was a pleasure to read your son's work and I'm so glad to hear that the comments were constructive and clear. I wish him the very best for his exams this summer. Warm regards, Rachel
From Stamatis
Rachel has been tutoring our son, Alex, year 3. From day-1, Rachel's warmth won Alex over and he asked us to continue unlike previous attempts with other tutors. Rachel is excellent in adapting her encouraging style and the content to the pupils needs (in terms of both knowledge and personality). We now also adopt her effective approach when we work with Alex.
After a few lessons, Alex's attitude towards English has become so much more positive. He searches for new words while reading and is keen to practice writing. He loves to use every new word he learns with Rachel and is less and less afraid of making mistakes (which was an issue). His confidence is noticeably building up with every lesson.
Really excited and looking forward to his further development. Thanks Rachel
It's a real pleasure to tutor your son and I'm really looking forward to the progress we can make together. Thanks so much!
From Tony
My daughter has been learning with Rachel on creative writings for 11+ English exams, and her improvements are noticeable: she can now plan her work more comfortably and decorate her writings with mature vocabulary and literary devices. Paragraphing used to be confusing to my daughter, but with the guidance from Rachel, she quickly understands how to divide her 'great' work into smaller sections to build up tensions and/or suspense, and to keep the reader's attention and interest. Rachel is a very kid-friendly tutor with methods in her head. With Rachel's help, my daughter has already achieved 2 merits for her creative writings at school before the term ends this year. Thank you!
From Nishadi
We have had five lessons with Rachel so far and found her to be an engaging and considerate tutor, always putting the interests of the child first. My daughter has found her lessons engaging and motivational, and tried a diverse range of writing techniques. Rachel has always been willing to chat with me (even before we officially started lessons) to discuss plans and, even now, is always ready to provide constructive feedback. I would highly recommend Rachel.
Thank you for this lovely and affirming feedback, Nishadi. Your daughter is a pleasure to tutor and I'm looking forward to seeing how far I can stretch her!
From Louisa
My 10 year old son has enjoyed his first few lessons with Rachel, Ethan likes how Rachel prepares the lesson applicable to his level and how she makes her lesson fun. Thankyou Rachel.
Thank you, Louisa - I love tutoring Ethan, and it's certainly a novel experience to tutor someone on the other side of the world! I hope one day we might be able to meet face-to-face, either for a cup of tea in London or a trip to the Opera House in Sydney :)
From Lisa
Rachel is very experienced and make it fun for children to learn. She comes always very prepared for the leassn and she has a very nice way to deal with the kids. My son, who hates doing any homework, loves the lesson with Rachel.
Thanks for these encouraging comments, Lisa - I love tutoring your son and seeing his written skills develop and his imagination flourishing is a real joy to me.
From IULIANA
Rachel is currently teaching our daughter in Year 4 and we are really happy with her teaching technique. She is calm, very friendly and encouraging teacher. Our daughter is fully engaged during the lessons and enjoys every minute of this new experience. She looks forward to each lesson. I would definitely recommend her.
Maya is an incredibly bright and sophisticated young woman with an agile mind. It's my pleasure to stretch her and I greatly enjoy our lessons together.
From Julia
Rachel was tutoring my two sons for English and Literature GCSE l. Although it was few months only- due to the COVID19 situation- I can say that the tutoring experience for my boys was very positive. Rachel was able to accommodate their learning difficulties - dyslexia and sensory processing- and was keeping them engaged during the lessons. Both boys commented that they liked Rachel's teaching style and personality. I liked the fact that Rachel would always come to the lesson well prepared, provided learning materials and was flexible when we needed to cancel at short notice. We may come back to Rachel if the boys will need to resit their GCSEs. I am happy to recommend her.
Thank you, Julia - it was a pleasure tutoring the boys and seeing their progress. Do be in touch if you feel you need further tuition.
Kind regards,
Rachel
From Flora
Rachel is wonderful! She is very patient and flexible to fit our needs. My 10-year-old daughter enjoys her lessons very much!
Dear Flora,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Hannah is a joy to teach - she is remarkably bright and eager to learn.
Kind regards,
Rachel
