Need help with your work or want extra support with your studies?

Rachel

IT, Business, Hair and Beauty, Hospitality, Travel and Skills

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am the Skills Coach for the departments of Services to People, Business, IT and Skills. I have supported many learners to achieve extraordinary results over the years. This has ranged from providing literacy, numeracy, study skills support, coaching students to excel for their Math and English GCSE resits and helping them to aim high, achieving Merit or Distinction grades for their main course assignments. Students have been happy to access the different types of support because they feel comfortable when asking questions or need further explanations. I enjoy helping students to achieve their own full potential and when they do well, it makes me smile! So, if you would like to book an appointment or a Google Meet session, please contact me via e mail and we can discuss how I can help you.
