"Rachel's passion for music is inspiring. She's always been supportive and encouraging, as well as making lessons interesting and fun. She helps others to learn in a way that suits them."
Jenni, adult student. "Rachel is a wonderful teacher. Her understanding and enthusiasm continues to give our daughter great motivation, enjoyment and success with her playing." Emily's dad. "I've been having lessons with Rachel for about 5 years. I came to her as a rusty grade 5 (ish) and last November passed grade 8! But we haven't only worked for grades. Rachel is very good at identifying areas to improve and providing challenging and varied ways to work on them. She's a great problem-solver and has helped me with many niggles I was struggling with. Her lessons are also great fun, and she will often bring something new and interesting to look at. I always feel my lesson has been tailored to my individual needs and goals. She is a brilliant teacher." Rebecca, adult student "My 9 year old son really enjoys his flute lessons with Rachel. It is easy to see her passion for music. The concert she organised was a lovely way for the children to be involved with other flute players." Debra, parent. "Rachel taught and supported me through Grade 7 Theory of Music and I am so excited to say that with her help I achieved a distinction! Rachel explained everything so clearly - I finally felt that I truly understood the material. She provided lots of different suggestions for how to improve my work, plenty of practice questions and huge amounts of clear and helpful feedback. Rachel taught me online and I felt that this process worked really well. There was a quick turnaround on marking my work and because the teaching was online, all her advice and notes were of course written down, which was so helpful. I'm now looking forward to learning Grade 8 Theory of Music with Rachel!" Rebecca, adult student "Rachel is a great teacher. She is also patient and talented. My 8yrs daughter has made a good progress from a complete beginner in just over a year time. We would recommend Rachel to teach children and grown ups!" Julia Smyrnowa, parent |
