About Me
italki teacher since Oct 19, 2017Interest topicFoodReadingHistory
I love literature, travel, and talking to new people! Whenever I can, I travel to new places, try new things, and read new books.Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching English for almost 10 years, and I love it! I've taught general English courses, as well as test preparation, business English, and English for specific purposes. My focus is always on communication and helping my students reach their language goals.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are casual - I want my students to feel comfortable making mistakes with me! My lessons are generally conversation-based, and I try to get my student to speak as much as possible. If my student wants writing practice, I set that as homework, so that we can have as much time to speak during the lesson as possible. I am also very flexible with regards to the topics discussed - if my students have a particular interest, or they want to practice a presentation during the lesson, that's fine by me!My teaching material

It was one more Interview-preparation lesson with Rebecca, and I'm really excited! She helped me to feel confident in my future interview and told me how to promote myself by answering the questions. It was really helpful in the interview, which I had the next day after our lesson. Thank you so much, Rebecca!

I had a first lesson with Rebecca. I was lucky to meet her because she has an instant tutoring possibility today. Rebecca is a patient listener, she did not interrupt me and encouraged me to speak a lot with her interesting questions. Also she has explained me conditionals in just one minute and it seemed like a miracle to me. I started to use the rule immediately after the explanation so conditionals do not scare me anymore. Also Rebecca told me interesting things about her city. She used some phrases and words I did not know, so it was really useful for me to have a talk with such a competent and positive person. I would advice Rebecca as a teacher for students who need more speaking practice in a friendly and supporting environment.

Rebecca is a good teacher. She is capable to identify your difficulties and help you to overcome them. Her classes are fun and you can learn in a good mood without realizing it. I truly recommend her.
