Sparking confidence
in writing.

I’m Rachel Shipley, a qualified primary school teacher from England with over 20 years’ experience. I specialise in helping children develop clear, accurate writing through structured, supportive lessons.

Each lesson focuses on:
• strong sentence structure
• accurate grammar
• ambitious, precise vocabulary
• confident, independent writing

Lessons follow the English National Curriculum and are carefully structured to ensure calm, steady progress.

Ideal for children learning English as an additional language or those who need extra support with writing.

Many children can speak English confidently but find writing difficult – this is the gap I help to close. 

Book a lesson, receive your Google Meet link and join your live session. Homework and resources are shared through Google Classroom to support progress between lessons.

Book weekly lessons to build strong reading, writing and grammar skills step by step.

Book a single lesson to see how your child responds and get a clear starting point for their writing.

Lessons are focused, calm and planned to ensure steady progress following the English National Curriculum.

Taught by an experienced UK primary school teacher with over 20 years’ expertise in reading, writing and grammar. 

Book your child’s lesson today and get started with clear structured support. Reserve your lessons quickly and securely using the online booking system.

Lovely break in Italy. We’ve enjoyed eating Italian food, visiting Venice and speaking a few words of Italian! #inglesparaniños #englischlernen #lidodijesolo #englishtutor ... See MoreSee Less

What a lovely week. From practising my German and enjoying Semmelfest in Lemgo to a brilliant evening at Wembley with my daughter, followed by tea and scones to round off the week.

Now it’s back to planning English lessons for the summer.

Thank you, Lemgo, for a lovely weekend.

We really enjoyed the Semmelfest and spending time in the beautiful town.

Auf Wiedersehen, Lemgo. We hope to see you again soon.
