Another crop of excellent results; all round A*s and A’s, plus this review from a very happy parent: “My son was struggling with this subject and by the end of year 12 was very demotivated and predicted an E grade. Rachel turned this situation around, re-ignited an interest in the subject and got him back on track. Rachel, with her experience as an examiner herself, was able to focus his attention on what was needed to do well. This resulted...
