A bit about Rachael G

My name is Rachael and I am a qualified Business Studies teacher in an Outstanding London secondary school. I am also an A-Level AQA examiner which means I have very good knowledge of exam technique and what is required to achieve high grades. I specialise in A-Level, GCSE and. BTEC Business Studies. I have experience teaching pupils with a range of abilities and will ensure all tutoring sessions are tailored to individual pupils needs. I have created a wide range of resources that I will share with pupils during sessions which will help pupils to progress in the subject. I tailor my lessons to individual needs, focusing on the course specifications with a mix of theory, case studies, and exam practice. My approach boosts understanding, critical thinking, and exam techniques, ensuring students are well-prepared and confident. I have over 8 years of tutoring and more than 10 years of teaching experience ensuring I bring a wealth of knowledge to my students. As a fully qualified teacher and examiner, I offer in-depth insights into GCSE, A-Level, and BTEC Business Studies, preparing students thoroughly for their exams. My experience as an examiner gives me a unique perspective on what it takes to achieve top marks, enabling me to guide my students effectively through their preparation process. What I love most about teaching Business Studies is the opportunity to unlock a student's potential by showing them the real-world applications of the concepts we discuss. Business Studies is not just about theories and models; it's about understanding the heartbeat of the world's economy, the strategies that drive successful companies, and the decision-making processes that affect our daily lives. Witnessing the moment a student grasps these connections, seeing their enthusiasm grow, and observing their critical thinking skills sharpen is incredibly rewarding. It's about guiding them to not only excel academically but also to develop a keen insight into the dynamics of business that they can carry into their future careers. This subject offers a lens through which we can understand the world better, and sharing this perspective with students, helping them to navigate and make sense of the business world, is what I find most fulfilling. My teaching style is student-centered, interactive, and adaptive, focusing on engaging students in active learning and critical thinking. I believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel comfortable to express their ideas, ask questions, and challenge their understanding. By incorporating a blend of lectures, discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, I aim to cater to various learning preferences, ensuring that each student can grasp complex concepts in a manner that resonates with them. I leverage real-world examples to bridge theory and practice, making the subject matter more relatable and intriguing. This approach not only enhances students' understanding of Business Studies but also stimulates their interest in exploring the subject deeper. As an experienced teacher and examiner, I also emphasize exam techniques and effective study strategies, preparing students thoroughly for their assessments. Feedback plays a crucial role in my teaching style. I provide constructive feedback to foster growth and encourage self-reflection. Moreover, I adapt my teaching strategies based on ongoing assessments and feedback from students, ensuring that the learning experience is continually optimized to meet their evolving needs. Ultimately, my goal is to empower students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners, equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in both their academic endeavors and future careers in the business world. My favorite aspect of being a tutor is the opportunity to make a meaningful, personalized impact on each student's learning journey. Unlike in a traditional classroom setting, tutoring allows me to tailor the learning experience to the individual needs, strengths, and interests of each student. This personalized approach enables me to delve deeper into subjects, foster a stronger understanding, and address specific challenges or questions in real-time. My teaching philosophy is anchored in the belief that education is not just about imparting knowledge but about inspiring a lifelong love for learning. I strive to create a learning environment that is engaging, inclusive, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I believe in the power of critical thinking, practical application, and the development of problem-solving skills, which are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. Students often appreciate the interactive and personalised nature of my teaching style. They enjoy the engaging and dynamic learning environment where lessons are not just about listening but actively participating, whether through discussions, case studies, or practical exercises. This hands-on approach helps to make the subject matter more relatable and the learning process more enjoyable, sparking their curiosity and motivating them to delve deeper into Business Studies. I have completed a PGCE in Secondary Business Studies and have Qualified Teacher Status. I also have a degree in Business and Economics from Trinity College Dublin.
