Sobre mim

Rebecca is a writer and editor in New York. She speaks Spanish and English fluently. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in English, and a Master's Degree in Writing. She is a published author who loves literature and is currently writing a collection of short stories. She lived in Colombia for five years, which is a long story.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
I have a Master's Degree in Writing because my life is about language, communication, and words, so it's not incidental that I'm an ESL teacher in addition to being a writer.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
I've been teaching on Verbling for five years now, which feels like forever! It's given me five years worth of customized teaching materials that I have developed through real people and real relationships with my students.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
I always use a google document for each student. This way, I never forget anything about you or your lessons. Even if one month or one year go by in between your classes, I will still remember that you are an architectural engineer from Peru-- because I wrote it in the document, and took notes about everything you told me.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
You are always able to access your personal document between classes to study and ask me questions.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
Yes! I am a grammar nerd, language nerd, and I love vocabulary lists and pronunciation lists, and I always give homework assignments. Luckily you don't get a grade, so the homework is always optional. We are all adults here.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
Which brings me to kids-- I'll teach older kids (11+) if they are self-motivated and want to learn, but not if they aren't excited about learning English.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
I listen very attentively, and I will never pretend that I understand you if I do not understand you. I listen to every single word you say and I will stop you if there is even one word that I did not understand, and use visual aids to clarify your meaning and help you learn to improve your understandability.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
My most popular classes are in: Writing, Pronunciation, IELTS Test Preparation, Personal Statement Support for University Applications, and Medical Professionals and Students needing support for the language-based aspects of Medicine.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
Surprisingly, not a lot of students have taken advantage of my Spanish fluency-- I promise I really am fluent having lived in Colombia for five years! Try me.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
Honestly, some students just need to talk about their lives and ask for advice, because it's hard living in a new country and understanding a new culture. I've made a lot of great friends on this site in that way, and their English always gets better because of these friendships.
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
I speak with a clear, comprehensible New York accent (a North American 'TV accent')
