I wasn't sure my daughter would engage in online tutoring, but with Rachael I shouldn't have worried; she keeps the lesson moving at a pace that keeps my daughter engaged while ensuring her knowledge, identifying gaps and keeping things fun! This is invaluable, and I have no idea how she does it. Thanks Rachael!

Helen B
Helen is a wonderful teacher. Zack has made fantastic progress since starting lessons with her, not only with phonics and reading, but most importantly in his confidence. He now speaks English much more spontaneously at home and has started trying to write his own cards and sentences. Helen is patient, encouraging and very thoughtful in the way she plans each lesson around his progress. Zack always enjoys his lessons with her and looks forward to seeing her each week. We are very grateful to have found her.
