About Me

Currently based in Chicago, USA, I have been teaching English for the past three years and have helped my students land jobs, seal business deals and reach their professional goals.

I am also the founder of an English proofreading and transcription services The English Square www.theenglishsquare.com where our focus is on the linguistics of your important documents.

My lessons are customized to my students' language needs whether it be spoken, written or industry-specific English. I have university qualifications in Linguistics, Sociology and Information Systems.

English is my first language but I also speak 5 languages. So I understand the challenges of learning a new language and will adapt to your level of proficiency.

My lessons are fun, engaging and really focused on improving your skills. So I aim at activating your spoken English by building your vocabulary, introducing topic-based discussions, looking at key cultural differences, and developing conversational skills where necessary.

I have many hobbies and interests including sports and culture. I work out regularly; mostly circuits and running. I love music and play the violin and piano. I also enjoy hiking in the mountains and any activities by the beach. My favourite actor is Johnny Depp by far! I think he is hilarious and have watched most of his films.

I would love to hear about your passions, interests and hobbies.

I hope to meet you and take your English to the next level!

Best,
Rebecca
