About Me

italki teacher since May 1, 2018

InterestsTravelFoodArt

Full time student in Canada (British born, Canadian Citizen) studying: Sociology, Political Science, and East Asian Studies. I am a TEFL certified teacher, I have my settings as "community tutor" to offer cheaper lessons for my students. I have been teaching on italki for 6 years. I volunteer often at my university's English Conversation Club, Study Abroad Team and Queer space. I did a study abroad in Spain last summer and I have lived in Japan for 1 year. I have a podcast and blog called Cultural Curiosity, I'd love to interview you! Things I like: k-drama/c-drama, exercise, crafts, reading, language learning, volunteering LGBTQ2S+ friendly

Me as a Teacher

I am a laid back teacher, not strict; we are after all in our homes, you are welcome to attend lessons in your pajamas! I want you to be comfortable and at ease. This will help you talk better, if you are nervous you will make more mistakes. You are welcome to ask me any questions as it is important to build trust between teacher/student, and I will be asking you lots of questions myself. I am here to build your confidence, but please remember if you are serious about improving, you need to study at home outside of lessons. **I don't teach A1 level or children under 16 years old** You must give 24 hours notice to reschedule/cancel the lesson as per italki's rules

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons I want to get you talking as much as possible, while also trying to provide you with a challenge in talking about some topical and difficult subjects. I usually provide some material to do this with, either before or in class. I am here to correct your mistakes and give ALL my students feedback, in the form of Google Docs. I can help you in specific areas: pronunciation, exam preparation, job interviews, etc

I enjoyed it so much that time went by so quickly. I felt sorry that it was over. I'm looking forward to the next class. Thanks. See you again :)

She is a very well prepared and knowledgeable teacher! She knew the main areas to focus on right from the beginning. Highly recommended!👍 Muy buena profesora, la recomiendo encarecidamente para aquellos que quieran mejorar cualquier habilidad lingüística tanto como ampliar los conocimientos del idioma.

It is always a pleasure having a lesson with Rebecca. She is kind and has a great personality. Even though there are lots of teachers on Italki Rebecca is one of the better and sensible options to choose.
