English and Health
My name’s Rebekah and I’m an English teacher specializing in ESL and a health practitioner, though I have experience teaching many different subjects over the years as a professional teacher, instructor, professor, minister and tutor. At this time, I work as a teacher and professor in the holistic health field as as an instructor in the mental health field (teaching mostly basic academics to special needs individuals). I primarily use WyzAnt to connect with those needing English as a Second L…
Testimonials
Eric E. from California, PA To start with, Rebekah met me on a really short notice (an hour), and tutored two for one kinda deal. My sister and I both needed help, and she said she'd normally charge us for two people, but since we're both students, she only charged us for one to help us out. In an hour, she was able to help us both re-write the papers totally. She helped me with time (like, past, present, future), and she taught my sister ways to check her spelling even if she doesn't have a dictionary or computer with her. On top of that, she gave us a formula to write essays. It's really clever and is definitely going to help me. Overall, she was really patient and personal. Other tutors I've had didn't take so much time to understand the issue I was having, let alone teach me so much in just an hour. And she helped my sister too. Really great teacher.
Henghao W. from Pittsburgh, PA We have been working together for half year. I'm a high school student who is entering senior year. Miss Rebekah is a really great teacher. We used to work for one and half hours. She explains very clearly. When I have trouble to understand,she's patient and try to find more examples in her head until I get them. I usually have big problems in SAT problems.S he teach me the way to find out the key of the question. It's really helpful for me.She helps me about my college stuff She is always being kind and smile a lot. She is patient, humorous and nice.And she is also a really hard worker.That really impresses me. Rebekah is a really awesome teacher.
Mary G. from Monongahela, PA Rebekah helped me with a public speaking issue - well, a few, actually. I have a lot of trouble keeping people interested in my presentations, which makes me nervous partway through, and I get agitated, etc. It goes down hill very quickly. First, she listened to my presentation, then helped me work on it. She divided easy things to fix instantly and habits that needed changing. One thing we worked on was modulation, which means adjusting the volume of your voice, changing the pace you speak at, and varying your pitch. We talked over what I wanted to convey and emphasize, and changed the modulation accordingly. I noticed that she really listens to me when I speak. She and I marked the presentation with a reminder system that works for me, that will help me when I give the presentation (like underlining things I want to put more emphasis on, etc.). She gave me one good tip for helping my poise, too: "Poise is what you do with your hands." I'm going to remember that when I'm nervous or agitated. We also improved the conclusion to my presentation. I'd recommend her to any professionals looking for help with public speaking. She's very personable, easy to work with, and she does everything she can to make sure you understand. She's also very cheerful!
