I have been impressed with Ms. de Baere's youthful enthusiasm and mature wisdom. She brings thorough preparation and research to all the subjects she covers. This, coupled with her engaging teaching style, makes her a favorite among the one hundred teachers the International Women's Writing Guild employs throughout the year.

Rachel's expert command of the English language, uncanny attention to detail and wisdom make her an essential tool for any writer who is serious about the craft. I wouldn't have a promising career as a writer if it weren't for Rachel.
