A teacher and trainer who thinks deeply about the learning process

I've worked with Rachel several times over the past few years and can confidently say that she is clearly a teacher and trainer who thinks deeply about the learning process, both for her pupils and the teachers she is training. Applying academic thinking to practical classroom solutions, more recently through her own systematic games-based approach to scaffolded learning for primary years, her training is both immediately applicable in the classroom and also provides teachers with the space to think about and develop their own practice.

They are high quality and extremely useful

The series of games present characters in a new way (in class) but in a familiar form (games the children already know)…..They have an excellent range of high frequency characters. Thank you for making them, they are high quality and extremely useful.

They are REALLY REALLY good

The selection of characters used across the 10 literacy games align extremely well with my school’s curriculum… These games do memory association, pattern recognition, foundation knowledge to build upon and threshold concepts about characters… They are REALLY REALLY good.

Really helped to motivate and engage our learners

Primary Mandarin games have really helped to motivate and engage our learners as well as reinforce their understanding of Mandarin Chinese and their own first language. Our partnership with Rachel as an experienced practitioner and skilled linguist has given us the confidence to use these products effectively.
