Mrs Rachel H.
Psychology & Sociology - Examiner / Head of department - 19 years experience.
About
As a dedicated tutor and an expert teach of social sciences, I find immense joy in helping students unlock their full potential.
My qualifications include a Master's in Education, a PGCE qualification, and a degree in Psychology. This enables me to bring a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical experience to my tutoring approach.
My philosophy centres around nurturing individuals to feel confident and I aim to provide a safe space for students to build not just academic skills but also on their confidence and self-belief in their social science studies.
I firmly believe that every student has the ability to excel with the right guidance and support. My passion lies in supporting children through their educational journey, helping them overcome challenges and grow both academically and personally. I tailor my tutoring methods to each student's individual needs, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where they can thrive.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Mrs's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — they don't affect this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

My child is really benefitting from tutoring with Rachael and enjoying their sessions. They find her to be very well prepared, her presentation and teaching of the key concepts is very thorough and she explains well. He is gaining in confidence in his studies as a result.

I have been extremely impressed by Rachael. She is always very well prepared for lessons . She provides supporting materials to compliment what she’s covered in the lessons and she provides lots of helpful feedback on the homework she sets. I am confident that she is helping my son to do better in psychology.

Rachael has been excellent providing support for my daughter. She is studying sociology A levels currently and plans to further her sociology studies at university We have seen a great improvement in her essay writing skills, grade and confidence. Rachael has been great to help Abigail - identify her strengths and weaknesses so she could focus on areas that needs improvement - improve academic performance - identify further resources and support - improve sociological terminology - help with questions Abigail might have on subjects On top of that Rachael is reliable, highly organised, always on time and approachable if we have any issues Highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a sociology tutor for their child.

Rachael has been a great tutor, she has made me feel comfortable and much more confident to learn sociology. I now feel that it is very possible for me to achieve high grades (A*-A) in the exam as compared to a B/C which I was before. Rachael is excellent at communicating and responding quickly, and her feedback is clear and constructive so I improved very quickly. Thank you! Erin (student)
