Who I coach

Are you a professional who has good English skills but lacks confidence speaking to groups or in a professional setting because you are self-conscious about your pronunciation or simply have a hard time finding the right words when you need them?

Or maybe you miss the confidence and impact you are used to in your native language. I have helped many professionals like you find their voice and regain their confidence through targeted pronunciation practice and immediate feedback on various elements of their speaking skills.

I’m Rachel—a native English speaker, educator, and pronunciation coach with more than 20 years of teaching experience in the US, UK, China, Rwanda, and the Netherlands. This international experience allows me to look beyond pronunciation alone and help you communicate naturally, confidently, and effectively in an international setting.

I’ve seen firsthand how much clear, confident English can transform the way someone connects with others and communicates their message. Over the years, I've helped hundreds of professionals from many language background improve their speaking confidence, but I have particular experience with Dutch and Mandarin speakers.

Having lived and worked in both China and the Netherlands for many years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of these languages and cultural differences that can affect how people communicate in English. I’ve also developed practical strategies and teaching materials specifically designed to address these challenges—and, most importantly, I’ve seen them work.

My goal is simple: to give you clear, personalized guidance that helps you speak English with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.

Wilma Veen
Professional speaker and writer, the Netherlands

“Rachel knows exactly how to meet you where you are and helps you make real progress. Her enthusiasm and personal approach make every lesson practical, focused, and enjoyable. I now speak English more easily and naturally, which has given me much more confidence when speaking in front of a group. A true professional with a warm heart — highly recommended!”

“Rachel’s pronunciation training was incredibly valuable. What stood out the most was the specific focus on common difficulties for Chinese speakers. Rachel was always so patient and made a real effort to help me correct mispronunciations that had lasted a long time. I feel much more confident in my English and my communication skills have improved significantly!”
