About Me
italki teacher since Aug 26, 2021
InterestsFilms & TV SeriesFoodArtReadingPets & Animals
In my spare time I love reading, TV and film, being in nature with my dog and being creative with drawing, colouring and needle felting. My adorable Shih Tzu fluff-ball usually sleeps and keeps my feet warm during lessons. However, apologies in advance if you hear his snores or occasional barks at the postman!
I adore trying new foods from around the world. I’m guilty of a sweet-tooth so anything sweet delights my tastebuds. Have you watched The Great British Bake Off? I highly recommend watching it to gain insight into British life and our sense of humour. However, you have been warned… it may make you feel peckish!
I’m also a life long curiosity seeker so am studying a part time course.
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching exclusively online now since 2021 and love it! I'm a qualified Primary School Teacher who taught children in UK schools for five years. I’ve also lived and taught English in France, Canada and Malaysia. In Paris I taught children and adults at the British Council.
I teach many fellow English teachers to support them to feel confident when teaching. I also have expertise supporting nervous B1+ teens and adults with my warm and adaptive approach. I am also very experienced supporting students with anxiety, ADHD and Autism.
I love learning new things so will happily research your chosen profession or subject in more depth. Perhaps you can teach me something new?
My lessons & teaching style
I hope my calm, fun and friendly personality will help you feel confident to speak up and express your ideas and opinions. I am a patient teacher who both supports and challenges students. 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!

Rachael taught our two daughters English throughout 2025. She always connected with them at their level, chatting warmly about their everyday lives and using a variety of fun, engaging activities that really helped them enjoy learning English. She’s incredibly kind, patient and caring — truly one of the best English teachers we’ve ever worked with!
