About Me
italki teacher since Feb 7, 2014InterestsWritingReadingBusiness & Finance
I'm a UK-qualified language expert with a Master's in English Language Teaching, a teaching degree from Manchester, and real-world experience in business and international trade. This means I don't just teach you from a textbook; I teach you the real-world confidence and fluency you need to use English successfully wherever you need it.Me as a Teacher
You've studied the grammar, but when it's time to actually speak English—in a meeting, a conversation, or an interview—your words get stuck. You need to sound natural, confident, and fluent, but your current English skills just aren't keeping up. I’m here to change that! My lessons & teaching style
I specialise in taking hesitant English speakers and turning them into confident communicators. My approach is dynamic, flexible, and 100% focused on your goals.
- For General Learners: We focus on making English useful and interesting, building conversational flow and eliminating hesitation.
- For Professionals: We target specific, high-stakes communication needs like meetings, presentations, and interviews.
Stop worrying about making mistakes and start speaking with impact. I design lessons that meet your priorities, ensuring everything we cover is relevant and valuable to you.My teaching material

Such an amazing lesson! Rachel put a lot of effort into preparing a clear and informative presentation, and shared practical techniques I can use right away. The materials were super helpful, and every minute of the lesson was absolutely worth it. I’m looking forward to the next one!

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.
