About Me
italki teacher since Feb 7, 2014Me as a Teacher
I am originally from Northamptonshire in the UK, and have had a varied career, first qualifying with a teaching degree in Manchester, then spending some time as a Business Analyst with a major insurance company. When I moved to Italy about a decade ago I returned to teaching and have recently renewed my knowledge with a Master's in ELT from Southampton Uni. I now live in Abruzzo but regularly work with learners from across the globe teaching through the internet. My lessons & teaching style
I design lessons so that they meet your goals and objectives. I will use a variety of materials as long as they are relevant and of value to you! With me you can follow a course or we can do lessons on things that you feel are a priority. Please note: I will not accept bookings for children under the age of 12 online, and all beginner lessons must be taken on a PC and not a smartphone, this is because you will need to view documents in the lesson.My teaching material

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.

Always nice to analyse and confront with the help of Rachel how different national intuitional systems function and to extend my lexical material on the issue. In that very case it was the negociation on State budget.
