About Me
Hey, I'm Becky! Currently I live in Melbourne, and I'm from the UK.
Before that I lived in Colombia, Vietnam and Thailand.
I have 6 years teaching experience, both online and in the classroom, and right now I work in a university.
I love talking to people and I find the details of language and culture fascinating. I have taught in many different situations, from big classes of 40 pupils in Thailand, to 1 on 1 online classes with people from Russia, Serbia, Spain, Venezuela, Iran, Italy and more.
I work with my students to design learning plans. I like to learn about my students through conversation practice. We can talk about topics such as family, work, hobbies, travel or politics for example.
After our first class, together we can build a more focused plan to suit your needs as a student.
Also, can simply practice conversation together, which is always fun.
I also offer my students specific tutoring for test preparation and revision for exams.
I help my students to improve their knowledge and understanding of English grammar and most importantly, my students should feel more confident using English in everyday situations.
I can help my students to improve their skills in all areas.
For example, with conversational English it is important to understand and be able to use:
- The tenses
- Phrasal verbs
- Idioms
- 'Bad' english (lazy english used by native speakers)
Good luck in finding a suitable teacher, don't be too shy to book a trial class, hopefully see you soon!
