Interests: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m an online English teacher from Austin, Texas, USA. I have been traveling around the world for the past couple of years, exploring the natural wonders of the rainforests in Central America, studying the way people live across cultures throughout Europe, and trying new things in Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, I have also been running a graphic design business for the past four years and enjoy introducing new perspectives acquired from travel in my artistic endeavors. Whether I’m teaching English, coaching swimming & ice skating, or acting as a mentor in fine arts & digital design, nothing is more fulfilling for me than helping students cultivate a new skill.

My goal is to provide a warm and comfortable environment where my students can expand their English vocabulary, practice their conversational skills, and have a great time! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your linguistic goals in one of my classes! :)
