Healthy English Reviews 21

Healthy English is exactly what I have been looking for since I arrived in the UK five years ago. I have been working in the NHS as a GP trainee, and I have always received good feedback from patients and supervisors, but somehow I have always felt I was not fitting in. With the resources on Healthy English, I now understand why. The cultural nuances are subtle and unique to the UK, and unless you learn how to interpret and deal with them, you will struggle, and no one will tell you the reasons why. Healthy English has provided explanations and resources to help to understand the British communication style. Thank you very much, Rachel, for doing this.

I attended sessions offered by Rachel, have found them valuable and supportive.

Initially since I have joined the NHS I was having a great deal of anxiety when trying to initiate a conversation with British patients and their families, as I was shocked from the different accents/ new expressions and culture differences, and I was feeling that there was a great barrier blocking the connection between myself and the patients and colleagues, I felt "isolated" in most of my working hours. After attending the course and learning how to deal with these anxieties and learn different tools on how to interact with colleagues and patients, I became more integrated with the team and with the patients. I am now feeling more comfortable and more confident in dealing with my patients and my colleagues, and with the people in the community as well.
I feel this program has took my hand out of a black circle of frustrations and anxiety, took me to look forward to my future career, and have more goals to be an effective part of the team that serve the British community.
Thanks a million Rachel for the great program

The communication course was excellent. It helped me improve my confidence, clarity, and effectiveness when interacting with patients and colleagues. I found the content practical and directly applicable to my clinical practice.

Healthy English is a great platform. Rachel is talented and really caters to learner’s needs. Her lessons are clear, practical, and very helpful for improving professional English.

I'm deeply grateful for the Communication Course by Rachel Dexter. This course has been a game-changer for me, teaching me to be kinder to myself and let go of self-criticism. Initially, I struggled to understand the British accents, but Rachel's tips made it easier.

What I appreciate most about this course is Rachel's kindness and approachability. She's been through challenging times herself, yet instead of expecting others to go through the same struggles, she's dedicated to helping others avoid similar difficulties. Her selflessness and empathy shine through in her video lessons and interactions.

The course videos are engaging, informative, and perfectly paced. I've learned so much and applied these skills to my daily life, resulting in significant improvements in my communication.

Thank you, Rachel, for creating this incredible course and sharing your expertise with us. Your dedication and passion are truly inspiring!"

Joining Healthy English was a turning point before starting my NHS journey.
I learnt how to communicate naturally and confidently in the British workplace to navigate NHS culture and daily life.

Huge thanks to my amazing teacher, Rachel for the kind support and guidance.

Highly recommended for any overseas doctors preparing for the UK!

Joining this course was really one of the best decisions I have made
It helped me a lot and I do recommend it to all my colleagues.

Rachel course is very helpful especially for new IMG doctors who are not used to the new system and British culture.
I first started to improve my language but along the way I improve my understanding of British people - definitely two birds in one stone !

I’ve been part of Healthy English for a while now, and the journey has been truly wonderful. So much valuable knowledge has been poured into my life as an IMG (International Medical Graduate). Thanks to this platform, I now have a much better understanding of the British community, which has made it easier for me to connect with patients and provide the best possible care.

One of the most impactful aspects of Healthy English is the cultural insight it offers. To truly understand a culture, you need to hear from someone who lives it—and Rachel Dexter does exactly that. She understands us, supports us, and has been an incredible guide throughout this journey.

I highly recommend Healthy English to newcomers, IMGs, nurses, or anyone who is new to the UK or struggling with communication and cultural understanding. Join this community—you will definitely see exponential improvement.

I had the privilege of attending Rachel Dexter’s Healthy English classes for approximately a year, and the experience was transformative. Rachel’s unique background as a former NHS occupational therapist, combined with her extensive experience in teaching English, makes her an exceptional educator. Her deep understanding of British culture and the intricacies of the English language is unparalleled.

Rachel is passionate about encouraging and empowering international doctors & nurses to thrive in the UK. Her lessons are meticulously designed to help delegates grasp the subtleties of British culture and master the nuances of the English language, including reading between the lines. This approach has been instrumental in enhancing my listening and speaking skills, which are crucial for effective communication within the NHS.

Throughout the year, Rachel’s engaging teaching methods and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and effective. Her dedication to her students’ success is evident in every lesson, and her ability to make complex concepts accessible is truly commendable.

I highly recommend Rachel Dexter to any international professional seeking to improve their English proficiency and gain a deeper understanding of British culture. Her unique blend of expertise, passion, and teaching excellence provides an invaluable learning experience that extends beyond the classroom.

A very good course for everyone who wants to know in depth about British community, work borders with colleagues and building your language with expert trainer.
Highly recommended.
I enjoyed every lesson with continuous WhatsApp support.

Amazing course. Super helpful, not only to communicate effectively in English but also to understand the British culture which can help thriving in UK.

Overall, this English class not only enhanced my appreciation for literature but also equipped me with valuable skills that I can apply in various contexts. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow as a reader and writer.

This course is really helpful with the NHS life, equipped with survival strategies and useful approach.I wish I would have joined it before I started my NHS job so that I had more smooth journey.

Excellent course, not only for communication within the NHS environment but also to under the British culture in any environment. I wish I have used it in my early days in the NHS.

I have seen Masterclass video. I have not done any course with Rachel but from Masterclass, she seems focussing on challenges encountered in communicating while working in NHS. She touched the things which are exactly the same, seen in real world practice. I have heard native speakers communicating in the same way, which Rachel has highlighted in her Masterclass video.

Rachel is the best teacher who could guide those who have less knowledge regarding British culture and NHS environment.

Rachel showed tremendous interest in helping Migrants integrate better within the NHS. Her approach is very practical and readily useful on day to day. I definitely will recommend her courses for anyone and everyone.

Very helpful & encouraging sessions for IMG doctors to thrive in British and NHS culture
