About Me

Hi there, I'm Rebecca! I live in Hanoi, Vietnam. Before that I lived in Thailand and Australia! I have a TEFL certificate and a Bachelor’s degree in Modern History. The reason I became an English teacher is because I love seeing my students become more self-assured and confident. I recently completed 1 year in Thailand where I worked as an English language teacher, and I loved it! My students were of mixed ability, so I designed lessons that were engaging and effective for all my students by using games, songs and technology in the classroom. I love teaching on Verbling because it enables me to meet interesting people from all over the world. I like to get to know my students through conversation, games, sharing articles and photos and helping them with grammar and pronunciation. Every lesson I teach is tailored to suit the specific needs of my students.

As an EFL teacher in Thailand, I tutored many students on a one to one basis. My adult students were both beginner and advanced learners. I helped my students to improve their knowledge and understanding of English grammar and most importantly they felt more confident using English in everyday situations, such as when asking for directions and ordering in restaurants. I also offered my adult students specific tutoring for test preparation and revision for exams.

I can help my students to improve their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills covering a variety of subjects such as;

- Grammar
- Pronunciation
- Accents
- Vocabulary

General topics such as;

- The time and days of the week
- The weather
- Geography
- Daily routines
- Occupations
- Places and modes of transport
- Activities
- Food and drink
- Clothes, colours and patterns
- Describing yourself, others and things
