We get to know each other
I talk with you to understand your real level, your goals and the context in which you'll be using English. It's not a standard test — it's a conversation to find out what you actually need.
Most English methods are designed for groups: same content, same pace, same exercises for everyone.
Here every lesson is built around who you are: your current level, your vocabulary, the situations where you need to use English. There is no universal lesson. There is your starting point.
Standard materials are designed for a statistical average. They include vocabulary you may never use, grammar exercises without context and invented scenarios that have nothing to do with your real life.
The usual result is that you progress to a point and then plateau, because the method takes no account of your specific vocabulary or how you process information. The problem is not the student.
Textbooks almost always fail in the same ways:
Creating bespoke materials for each student takes more work. It's the only way to ensure what we work on in class has a direct application in your daily life.
Before the first lesson I already know where you are, what you need to improve and which approach makes most sense for you. The process follows these four phases:
I talk with you to understand your real level, your goals and the context in which you'll be using English. It's not a standard test — it's a conversation to find out what you actually need.
From there I define the frequency, the priority topics and the approach that best fits your situation. The plan adapts to you, not the other way around.
Texts, exercises and practice situations are created specifically for your level and your context: your sector's vocabulary, the type of conversations you have and the specific mistakes you make in your day-to-day.
If your priorities change, the approach does too. If something urgent comes up — a presentation, a trip, a job change — the materials adapt to the moment. The plan is never fixed; it adjusts to your real pace.
"Lessons with Rebecca are great. You can tell she knows her subject and, above all, knows how to teach it. She doesn't just tell you what to do — she explains the 'why'. Her corrections are always constructive and I've noticed real improvement in my work since the first session. She is punctual, professional and very dedicated."
— Carlos (Student on Superprof)
The difference between generic material and something designed for you is relevance. While most textbooks work with invented situations, here we start from what you already know.
A student from the finance sector works with texts and situations from their industry. Someone who has moved to another country practises the everyday conversations of that specific context. A professional who needs to present in English rehearses that specific format.
Every word you learn has a reason to be there.
