About
Experienced English and History tutor for over 3 years.
I am currently studying History and English Literature at university!
I am very passionate about these topics, and believe that everyone has the ability and capacity to understand these topics well: you may just need a little encouragement!
My teaching style is primarily based on discussion and asking questions. I firmly believe that there is much more to learn in history than just dates and who did what. In order to fully improve in History, it is very important to have a deep understanding of the topics they are studying.
In English, I will be able to teach you how to write better essays and useful tools to use in your writing, as well as covering the basics in an exciting way. You will soon find out I LOVE metaphors, similes, and other literacy techniques, and will teach you how to use them well.
I can help you to feel more confident in your abilities, and lead you in not just being able to answer questions, but also asking questions! This is the best way to learn. :)
I am also familiar with senior texts such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Jasper Jones, The Duchess of Malfi, Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea, Klara and the Sun, The Crucible, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Picture of Dorian Gray and others.
Please note I also offer a draft reading and feedback package for $60 which includes thorough notes on your child's assignment as well as a 30 min online session to go through the feedback in detail.
Please contact me if you feel I would be the right tutor for you!
I offer in-person and online sessions.
Rachel is very friendly, enthusiastic and has a clear passion for english and literature. She has excellent communication and is very professional. I would highly recommend her services!
