Rachel Marchant | English teacher

I'm a postgrad at King's, reading Anglo-Saxon Literature and Language, and have been a teacher for 11 years. I've got experience working with students of all abilities, and from lots of different backgrounds. I'm just as happy to take on a complete beginner as I am someone who has finished college.

I have a BA in English, and a CELTA teaching qualification.


Offering: private lessons, group classes and intensive courses.
Aimed at: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
Ages: 3 +
Rates: Lessons are usually £20 per hour, or £15 if you want to learn English as a second language. Groups of up to four are £6 per student per hour, up to a maximum of 5 students. I also teach short lessons for infant and primary students (£10 for 30 mins, £5 for 15 mins).

Private Teaching

GCSE English study group for year 11

Starting in November, I'm running a study group for people who want to make sure that they're ready for their GCSE English exams. The structure of the lessons will be down to you, and can cover everything from punctuation to detailed readings of Shakespeare. The idea is to make sure that you feel confident and prepared when you go into your exams. The night is TBC, and the class is subject to availability.

THE SMALL PRINT

Lessons can be paid for on a lesson-by-lesson basis, or at the beginning of each term/set. I won't refund if you don't turn up, but will offer to rearrange the lesson unless you're a repeat offender. I'll give a minimum of 24 hours notice if I need to reschedule the class for any reason, or will refund if I need to cancel outright.
