Eight years ago, I left the United States to live in the Philippines. I have decided to stay here and make this country my permanent home. I enjoy seeing the sights on my island by motorcycle when I am not in class. I like working in the garden, but my flowers do not seem to appreciate it much. I love animals and have kept some unusual pets. Right now, I have a couple of great dogs, a rabbit, and a flock of pigeons. I have always been interested in other cultures and languages. I love talking to new people and hearing about their experiences, so working as an online teacher is a great fit for me. I have a level 5 TEFL certification and acquired it with a distinction.

Me as a Teacher
Since moving to the Philippines, I have learned how vital it is for some people to learn and use a new language. I need one for my everyday life, and speaking the local language makes my trips to immigration much more pleasant. I appreciate that an intelligent person who has a great vocabulary in their native language may feel frustrated when they struggle to say something in their second language. I understand how lonely it can be when the people around you cannot see your personality because you do not know how to express yourself. I also know how fabulous it feels to overcome those challenges. I understand what my students need because I am a student.
My lessons & teaching style
In my opinion, most people learn well in a relaxed environment. However, it can be beneficial to have some structure unless a person has already reached their goals. Because of that, I try to adapt my sessions to the needs of each student. I have lots of lesson material for adults and share it freely with my students. I am not qualified to teach children, and I prefer adult students. I do not accept any students under 18. I do not offer video or audio recordings of my lessons. However, I strongly believe in taking notes and collaborating on corrections. I always make these notes and summaries available after each session.

Rebecca is an excellent teacher. I have had some experience learning English on Italki, and Rebecca is one of the few teachers who provides recordings of the lessons. This is convenient for reviewing the key points from class. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a responsible teacher.
