Pleased to meet you!

online tutor

Hey there—I’m Rachel.
I’m an imagination-fueled English teacher with 11 years of classroom 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 currently teach with the York Region District School Board. (You can view my OCT teaching license here.)

Outside the classroom, I’m also a creative copywriter for brands like Kraft Heinz, SheaMoisture, and ella+mila. Whether I’m crafting a sentence or coaching a student through one, it’s all about clarity, creativity, and real impact.

My Qualifications

My Philosophy

For kids to succeed, they have to want it. And helping them get there? That’s the work.

We’re teaching in one of the most complex academic landscapes ever—where attention is currency, and the “Instant Information Age” floods kids’ minds with nonstop media. It’s a digital world that can empower learning—or completely distract from it.

My role is to navigate that tension. I use today’s tools as a bridge, not a crutch—leveraging tech in ways that support growth while staying rooted in what matters: grammar, discipline, responsibility. The old-school stuff that still builds the strongest thinkers.

My Approach

Every tutor says their program is “personalized.” But what does that really mean?

For me, it means no pre-set programs. No one-size-fits-all handouts. Unlike most learning centers, I tailor every lesson to how each student learns, grows, and engages.

So how do I do it?

One word: flexibility. With every session, I adapt the structure, tone, and approach based on what each student needs—whether that means switching up activities, reworking a lesson mid-way, or using their quirks and interests to spark curiosity.

Over time, I get to know more than just their learning style—I understand what drives them. That’s when real momentum builds. Because when students feel seen, lessons stop feeling like a chore and start feeling like a discovery.

And that shift? It changes everything.

My Style

I’m kind but firm—the type of teacher who knows real results are built on consistent effort and hard work.

But I also know every student is different. Some thrive with slow-paced lessons and steady repetition. Others need to be pushed, challenged, and inspired. And some—let’s be honest—just flat-out hate English.

That’s why I approach every session with a clean slate. No assumptions, no ego—just a fresh opportunity to figure out what actually works.
And most importantly? I never give up on my students. Ever.

My Goal

The primary goal of my Online English tutoring program is to facilitate critical thinking skills and mastery over writing. Over the years, I’ve successfully helped hundreds of students think on a more sophisticated level and create stronger essays. My long-term plans guide students toward their post-secondary goals and ultimately to their future careers.
