About Mrs. Rachel

Hello! I am a CELTA -certified English tutor, I live in Guadalajara, Mexico, and I have over 10 years of teaching experience in various educational institutions.

I studied at the University of Southampton , UK. I obtained my BA in French and Linguistics in 2015 and my MA in Applied Linguistics in 2019. Since then, I have worked with teenagers and young adults to help them gain confidence, particularly in their speaking and writing skills. I have also worked as an English teacher at university level (IELTS preparation), as well as in preschool, primary, and secondary schools.

I was born in Manchester, England, and my native language is English . Having worked in France for two years and in Spain and Mexico for over five, I have a professional level of proficiency in both French and Spanish .

In 2024, I began dedicating myself exclusively to private lessons, and it has been a pleasure to see my students progress so quickly thanks to the personalized approach and support. As someone who has also gone through the process of learning languages, I completely understand how frustrating it can be at times! Important note: there is no easy way to "learn a language fast"; the best way is to be consistent. Whether it's listening to your favorite podcast in French, reading the news in Spanish, or having a conversation in English with someone who doesn't speak your language, it's all about practice, practice, and more practice! Whether it takes you 5 months or 5 years to reach your specific goals, don't be afraid of the process. The most important thing is to take the first step; the rest is up to you.

Despite this, we all need guidance and motivation when learning a new skill. That's why I offer personalized English, French, and Spanish classes (individual or group). These classes are designed to suit your specific goals and needs, with content that you'll find interesting. In the initial class, I'll speak to you in your chosen language to assess your level. I'll also ask you specific questions about your goals: perhaps you need English for work, or maybe you simply want to spend a summer in Europe and be able to communicate. Whatever your objective, I want to help you achieve it. The initial session is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see if we click; don't worry if you decide not to continue after that.

I'm really excited to meet you and talk about how we can work together to help you speak your chosen language with confidence and accuracy.

Best regards, Mrs. Rachel
