Who are We? Obviously, we are Becks and Meli. We are a teaching team, creating in person and online English and Spanish Classes. More below.
Who "We" Are: Rebeca Fabiny has been teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera) in Paraguay for quite some time now. She realized that she has a passion for teaching early in her teenage years. Her journey around the world since her early years made her realize the importance of languages.
She developed her career in the area of business management but in order to fulfill her desire of teaching, then began teaching English as a second language and soon after Spanish as a foreign language in 2020. Rebeca’s teaching methodology reflects her joyful and adaptable personality in the classroom and sure gives her students of all ages an amused time while learning a second language.
We both believe that a teacher’s ability to teach depends not only on the passion to do it, but more importantly having empathy for students’ development and utilizing creativity to explain and practice in class. Well, Becks is certainly passionate about teaching, a highly attuned and empathetic person who specifically understands the experience of living in a foreign land, and super creative and fun to be around.
