Hello, my name is Rachel Leonard and I’m an English language teacher with a particular interest in healthcare (medical English) and academic writing. I'm a former midwife with over 17 years' experience of the health service in the UK and I have an in-depth understanding of effective communication, medical terminology and working in a healthcare environment. I offer tailored, individual conversation or grammar lessons via Skype following an assessment of your particular needs and I also provide you with a comprehensive lesson summary and email support between lessons. If you’re not sure about your level of English, I can send you a placement test which will let us know which lessons will be the most suitable for you. I can help you prepare for job interviews, tidy up your presentations and emails and improve your academic writing. In addition, I also offer a Proofreading service. I understand the difficulties people face when learning a foreign language as I’ve studied several languages myself over the years, so I know I can help you quickly gain confidence and overcome any difficulties you have with all aspects of English, I really enjoy meeting new people and love to combine my interest in health with my expertise in the English language. Let me use this unique combination of skills to help you improve your confidence with English.   Why don’t you book a trial lesson with me and I can give you more details about my lessons? See you soon! CANCELLATION POLICY: I accept re-scheduling with 24 hours' notice. If this notice is not given I will ask you to pay for the lesson. If you are late for a lesson, I will wait 15 minutes. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the lesson won't take place but you will need to pay for it.

    Hi, I don't know about other countries, but body snatchers were certainly a problem in Britain, I think around the 18th and 19th century. Body snatchers are famous for digging up recently buried corpses to sell to anatomists at medical schools. A grisly business! I don't know why they were known as 'snatchers' rather than 'takers' - maybe because to snatch is a bit rough and not very polite!
