About Me
Welcome to Mrs Shipley’s Classroom Online English writing lessons for children aged 5 to 11
Hello! I’m Rachel Shipley, a qualified primary school teacher from the UK. I’ve been teaching children for over 20 years, both in classrooms and online.
At Mrs Shipley’s Classroom, I help children from all over the world learn how to write in English. My online lessons are clear, structured and follow the teaching methods used in English primary schools.
I focus on helping children improve their spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG) and learn how to write with confidence and purpose.

My Term-Based Plans follow the UK school calendar. Children learn best when they have consistency — and these packages support steady, structured progress.
This plan is perfect if you’re looking for a short burst of support. Ideal for new starters or those focusing on a specific area of writing.
Great for families wanting consistent support across a whole term. This package allows time for deeper learning, greater independence, and real progress.
Need Extra Support? Book Twice Weekly. If you would like your child to have two lessons per week, simply book two identical packages.
If you’ve found us after the term has started, you can still book. I offer custom plans for children joining part-way through a block.
Ready to go ahead? You can reserve your lessons safely and securely through our online booking system.
