Pleased to meet you!
I’m Rachel: OCT-certified teacher, copywriter and AI trainer, bringing all three into one online English tutoring program for students across Toronto, the GTA and Ontario.
I’m an imagination-fueled English teacher with 14 years (and counting) of teaching experience and a passion for helping students connect, express and thrive. My tutoring style blends proven instructional strategies with a conversational, down-to-earth approach that actually clicks with today’s learners. The result? Kids who feel seen, supported — and grateful you found me.
I hold a B.A. in English and a B.Ed. from York University, and I’ve taught with the York Region District School Board.
For more than 10 years, I’ve also worked as a creative copywriter for brands like Kraft Heinz, SheaMoisture and ella+mila. And for the past three years, I’ve worked as an AI trainer and evaluator. Whether I’m crafting a sentence, testing an AI model or coaching a student through an essay, it’s all about clarity, creativity and real impact.
Where teaching, writing and AI meet
10+ years of making every word earn its place
For more than a decade, I’ve written for brands like Kraft Heinz, SheaMoisture and ella+mila, where a single clumsy phrase can sink a campaign. Professional copywriting trains you to hear what most readers only feel: the sentence that drags, the word that’s almost right, the transition that quietly loses the reader.
That gives me an unusually sharp eye for the nuances of great writing. When I read your child’s work, I don’t just see “needs improvement.” I can pinpoint the micro-weaknesses behind it:
- Writing style — tone, voice, rhythm and sentence variety
- Syntax — run-ons, fragments and tangled sentence structure
- Grammar & mechanics — the small, repeated errors that cost marks
- Word choice — vague, repetitive or imprecise vocabulary
Then I teach your child to spot and fix them on their own — the way a professional writer would.
Three years teaching AI to think more clearly
For the past three years, I worked as an AI trainer and evaluator for a remote research laboratory, as part of a small, specialized team of experts producing training data for high-profile clients including OpenAI and Apple.
Our job was to find exactly where the world’s most advanced AI models fall short. I designed complex, deliberately tricky tests to expose weaknesses in reasoning, knowledge, instruction-following and writing style, then evaluated and scored every response against strict quality standards.
Today I use that same detect, report and correct method to uncover the hidden skill gaps in your child’s learning. See how my AI Learning Diagnostics work.
The ultimate customized approach for your child
Very few tutors bring all three of these worlds together. I fuse them into every lesson plan:
- Teaching — 14 years (and counting) of knowing how kids learn, what the curriculum expects, and how to keep them motivated
- Copywriting — a professional writer’s eye for the micro-weaknesses that hold their writing back
- AI — insider knowledge of how AI thinks, where it fails, and how to use it ethically to sharpen, not replace, their thinking, through Optional AI Skills
The result is a program built around your child alone: precise AI learning diagnostics, expert writing instruction, progress tracking you can see, and the future-ready skills schools aren’t yet teaching well, so your child is prepared for the new world. Here’s how it works.
My philosophy, approach and style
My Philosophy
For kids to succeed, they have to want it. And helping them get there? That’s the work.
In a world where attention is currency and nonstop media competes for every minute, I use today’s tools as a bridge, not a crutch — staying rooted in grammar, discipline and responsibility, the old-school skills that still build the strongest thinkers.
My Approach
Every tutor says their program is “personalized.” But what does that really mean?
No pre-set programs and no one-size-fits-all handouts. I adapt every lesson’s structure, tone and activities to how your child learns, using their interests to spark curiosity, so lessons stop feeling like a chore and start feeling like discovery.
My Style
Kind but firm — because real results are built on consistent effort and hard work.
Some students need steady repetition, others need to be pushed and inspired, and some flat-out hate English. I start every session with a clean slate, figure out what actually works, and never give up on my students. Ever.
My Goal
Sharper thinkers. Stronger writers. Future-ready learners.
To build sharp critical thinking and true mastery of writing. I’ve helped hundreds of students think at a more sophisticated level, with long-term plans that guide them toward post-secondary goals, future careers and the ethical AI skills they’ll be expected to have.
