 Rachael’s way of teaching is carefully curated to have the maximum positive impact on each individual. I have had the privilege to experience the steady special progress in my learning that Rachael made feel as being natural, something that the best teachers only ever achieve. Simply masterful!" 

Business German student, Buckinghamshire

 Rachael has been my daughter’s German teacher for nearly two years. I wanted my daughter to take an external German GCSE exam because it is my first language, and even though I no longer communicate with my daughter in German, she had some basic knowledge from her first four years. In less than two years, Rachael has turned this basic knowledge into a very high level of written and spoken language, and an impressive repertoire of vocabulary and grammar. Rachael has been extremely professional and efficient throughout this time. My daughter always had her fullest support. Rachael's personal involvement is commendable, including liaising with school teachers. I now have the opportunity to take advantage of Rachael’s knowledge of French to continue supporting my daughter’s education, and I am delighted that she has agreed."

 We were really impressed with how fast our son progressed with his German and how motivated he was with Rachael’s classes. He became really involved and happy to engage with the interactive online tools she uses. Rachael is an excellent professional, very committed to teaching and her lessons are very engaging. Furthermore, I can say that as a mother, it is a pleasure to deal with her, as she is very dedicated and really cares about each student. I have been following my son’s progress and I am amazed to see that during the one and half lesson period hardly any English is spoken. I receive frequent feedback on how he is performing."

 I wanted private tuition to refresh the German I had studied at school to A-Level standard and then at university. I was keen to improve specifically my speech and confidence. I have found Rachael to be an excellent tutor who works to a high standard. She has tailored the tuition carefully to my needs in an empathetic way without me having to define my needs specifically and often. She has interwoven grammar and formal training into my studies without making it seem a chore. The mix of formal and informal work over a wide range of subjects has been especially important for boosting my confidence."

 During the A-Level course, my son's comprehension of the German language improved so much and this is down to the teaching Rachael provided. The syllabus was clearly outlined and she explained how each topic was related to the course and there was a clear reason for learning everything. Homework was always beneficial and marked really well, and any issues were sorted quickly. Rachael also went above and beyond in finding extra-curricular activities to support my son’s progress in German."

 Rachael was recommended to us as a German tutor for our son. She was patient and straight-forward in her teaching regime, which helped our son achieve a much higher than expected grade in GCSE German (A*). Rachael optimised his language skills, making the subject much easier to understand and master."

 My daughter really enjoyed her GCSE German lessons with Rachael and she said that a two hour 1-1 lesson would go quickly, with the lesson content being both challenging and fun. I received regular progress updates and suggestions on how my daughter could improve her German."

 My husband and I have been taking French lessons with Rachael for approximately four years. We have had weekly lessons following our desire to improve our French as we are planning to move there one day. Rachael is very polite, professional and has excellent timekeeping whilst also being extremely flexible, personable and easy to get along with. Clearly Rachael has an excellent grasp of the French language and uses her own extended time spent in France to share stories and vocabulary which you simply could not get from a textbook. She often teaches us at the end of a working day and manages to lift our energy with her enthusiasm and positivity. We have enjoyed her approach using a range of different learning techniques and she quickly understood what worked for us both and how to make the most of the lessons. All in all, Rachael has made learning French fun and made our dream of living in France feel more within our grasp."

 Rachael taught German to our ten year old son for over four years. Under her direction, our son achieved excellent progress in reading, verbal understanding, writing and grammar and is quickly advancing in his speaking skills. He developed beautiful pronunciation and to me he sounds like a native speaker. I can appreciate this as I studied German at university for four years and can read and speak in simple terms (although my pronunciation is not nearly as good!) Rachael is an enthusiastic, positive and competent teacher of German. I highly recommend her for any other role in the field."

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done for my daughter. I had no expectation, but my goodness what a team the pair of you are together. Words cannot express my happiness for what she has achieved in her German assessment and it could never have been done without your help. I am so glad we found you!" 

Father of GCSE German student, Bedford

 We would like to thank you for your kind and patient efforts to get our son through his English GCSE. His default setting was to panic at the thought of having to read an English comprehension exercise and to then answer questions. In addition, writing an essay came with its own challenges. Through your calm and methodical approach you have given him the tools and formulas to tackle every new task in an ordered fashion. You have helped him to believe in himself and his own ability, pointing out that your approach will work for every subject he faces at school, college, Uni, work and beyond. We can’t thank you enough. Our son has passed his GCSE and is equipped for his future studies."

 With Rachael’s help, I managed to receive a grade 9 in my German GCSE, during a pandemic. She went above and beyond what was expected and ensured that I got the grade I deserved this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed these last two years and would highly recommend her.

 My daughter has become a lot more confident and has started to even say things in French sometimes! You really are very good at what you do!"
