Rachel Paling
Director of Efficient Language Coaching Global SL. – Certified & Accredited Neurolanguage Coach, PCC (ICF), BA Hons Law and Spanish, PG Dip Law, UK Lawyer, MA in Applied Neuroscience and MA in Neuropsicología y Neuroeducación – Creator of Neurolanguage Coaching
Rachel Paling started teaching English as a Foreign Language to adults over 35 years ago and after obtaining a BA Honours in Law and Spanish (with distinction in spoken Spanish) at the University of Sheffield (UK), she went on to do a Masters in Human Rights and Democratization (EMA) at the University of Padua, Italy and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany.
Rachel continued her studies and qualified as a UK Lawyer in 2003, but instead of pursuing a career as a lawyer, she decided to combine her teaching experience, her specialisation in business English and her legal knowledge to coach top executives across Europe. Rachel’s professional development continued and she became an ICF PCC Life Coach.
The creation of Neurolanguage Coaching® emerged through her experience of teaching languages over the past 35 years. This combined with her experience of learning languages, namely French, Spanish, Italian, German, and some Catalan, with basics of Arabic and Russian and a hunger to learn more, such as Chinese.
In 2019, Efficient Language Coaching and Neurolanguage Coaching® won the Re-Imagine Education Bronze award in the Science of Learning category. In March 2020, Rachel completed a Masters in Applied Neuroscience and continued to study Neuroscience to develop and enhance her knowledge. In the same year, Brainz Magazine included her in their top 500 Companies, Entrepreneurs, Influential Leaders and Business Owners who are recognized for their entrepreneurial success, achievements or dedication to helping others.
Also in 2020, Rachel developed the NeuroHeart Educational Coach Training which certifies and ICF accredits teachers and educators of all disciplines and through the NeuroHeart Education Foundation wishes to bring this new way of teaching into educational establishments worldwide.
The following year, Rachel completed a Masters in Neuropsychology in the field of Education and was delighted to be awarded the Crea Global Award by Brainz Magazine.
In addition, Rachel’s own personal development as a life coach over 12 years and her burning interest in what we are now discovering through modern neuroscience about the brain – and how the brain functions, reacts and learns – have all contributed to the creation of this concept and method.
Using this method, Rachel has trained over 1600 language teachers worldwide, certifying them as Neurolanguage Coaches – certified by taking our training courses which are some of the only language coaching certification courses in the world accredited by International Coach Federation USA.
She now delivers courses to language teachers and teachers of all disciplines with a vision to transform and enhance the learning process.
The most fascinating driver for Rachel has been seeing and experiencing better learning results from her own clients. The testimonials of many of the language teachers who have certified with Rachel and have become Neurolanguage coaches, are, in turn, witnessing better results from their clients.
