Hi there! My name is Rebecca and I am a 28-year-old South African Professional marketing and Business English Teacher living in Dubai. I have a Bachelors's Degree in Marketing Management and have been working in digital marketing and sales since 2018. I am a native English speaker with my second language being Afrikaans, a language native to South Africa. I have experience in the tourism and marketing sector and have taught students working in fields such as: - IT - Medicine - Marketing - Finance and Accounting - Law - Project Management - and more I hope that I can be of assistance in helping you learn and improve your English, and I look forward to meeting you! Rated in the top 1% of English Teachers on iTalki in 2022, my teaching journey started in 2020. Having worked with professionals from all fields, my lessons are tailored to target your specific needs with a large focus on speaking. I encourage all students to speak about topics that they find interesting and I keep the conversation flowing throughout the lesson so you feel comfortable every step of the way. My lessons are planned in advance to suit your exact needs. For certain lessons, I will provide you with the study material and documents that you can refer to during and after the class. Talking is a great tool to use to help improve your everyday conversational English and I encourage all of my students to speak freely during their lesson with me.

Rebecca is highly professional and quickly identified my weak points, like grammar and speaking fluency. She designs every lesson around my needs, so I’m always working on what matters most. She is very encouraging and never makes me feel embarrassed about my mistakes. Thanks to her targeted teaching, my confidence has grown a lot.

I had more than a hundred classes with Rebecca on scientific editing and proofreading of my scientific articles in the fields of astronomy, physics and engineering. On my last article, we spent dozens of classes, we had 3 loops of editing. Finally, the article successfully passed through the English language edition board of the well-known magazine Photonics MDPI (Impact Factor: 2.4, 2022) with only 2 small remarks, and it was published. I may recommend Rebecca not only as a general English teacher but also as a teacher for specific purposes such as scientific editing.
