About Rachel

I'm a qualified secondary English and Literature teacher with over thirteen years’ teaching experience. I am warm, knowledgeable and supportive and enjoy partnering with students and their families to achieve individual learning goals.

Please note my remaining spots are for students in Years 9-11. I will be opening up my availability for future Year 12s from November 1st 2026. Please contact me for more information on how I run the tutoring in an online capacity.

For more information about my pricing, see the 'details' section under 'rates' towards the end of my listing.

My teaching experience:

- I have 6+ years of secondary classroom teaching experience, including teaching Year 12 English and Year 12 Literature, as well as 1800+ hours of English tutoring experience (2013-2017 and 2024-current).

- My Year 12 classes had high medians and/or students routinely achieving 40+ and I have classroom taught and privately tutored all secondary year levels of English.

- I held a Literacy Leading position at a school for two years in 2020-2021, designing and implementing programs to support students in all year levels (7-12) to develop reading and writing skills.

- In 2024 I was a contributor for the VATE Year 12 English exam.

- My offerings are for all students in Melbourne, such as those wishing to achieve a desired study score including 40+, students with learning difficulties and/or students who struggle with English in general and need additional structure and support.

- I have a Master of Teaching (Secondary) from Monash University and I am currently completing a Master of Education. I also hold qualifications from The University of Melbourne and certificates from Cambridge University.

- I have experience working with students with a range of learning difficulties and have experience as a classroom teacher in all-girls, all-boys and co-ed schools, so I am dynamic, well-rounded, and can offer varied teaching and learning strategies for all learners.

- I have tutored and taught students from public, catholic and private schools (including selective entry high schools).

About the lesson

I establish strong partnerships with students and their families through delivering consistent weekly English tutoring.

Online tutoring works just like face-to-face sessions but with added convenience. Students will complete practice writing, receive feedback on their written work in session, have learning content explained to them through supportive verbal discussions, receive worksheets and learning resources to develop their knowledge and skills in and out of sessions, practice reading aloud from texts being studied, and read and analyze written content such as novels and persuasive pieces, with support and scaffolding.

- Students use Google Docs to type their writing live and I can offer live tracked comments, in addition to verbal feedback and discussions.

- Each student will have a Google Folder with targeted and curriculum-aligned resources which accumulate throughout the year.

- Parents regularly receive updates from me after each session and I can give targeted homework if required to build student skills over time.

- The lessons will be scaffolded well as an experienced teacher is providing them! Qualified teachers do have wider knowledge and specialized skills in education, and I do believe this sets us apart from other tutors. This includes being able to accurately mark practice essays and give appropriate feedback to students.

- I have a current Working With Children/Police Check and VIT registration.

This first lesson offered with Rachel will allow you to get to know each other and clearly specify your needs for your next lessons.

30mins

Details

To maintain consistent pricing across my tutoring platforms, my standard fee is $110 per hour from the first lesson. In place of the automatic introductory offer that tutors are unable to remove from their listing, I am pleased to offer an additional 10 minutes at no extra charge during our first lesson, as well as a free 15 minute phone call prior to the first lesson to discuss your child's needs.

Please also note that, while this platform displays lesson packages, I invoice on a weekly basis after sending a confirmation message prior to each lesson. This approach means there is no requirement to purchase multiple lessons in advance.
