Bio
Valentina Montigiani
I have known Rebecca for over five years. She was my English teacher and she really made such a big contribution to my English abilities. She could find the right way to encourage me to improve my English without running the risk of overwhelming me, showing sensitivity both for my strengths and at the same time for my weaknesses. Thanks to her patient explanations and good teaching methodology I improved my skills. She’s committed to keeping her students interested in learning and is extremely hard-working. Having known her also outside the teacher-student relationship, I can define her as organized, efficient and reliable. Her ability to connect with people of all ages, children included, would be an important contribution to the work of any organization or team. She can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She accomplishes these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude. Working with generosity, she will be a valuable asset to any company. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any further information you may need.

I have been a student at The London School in Florence. Rebecca was my teacher in that time. As a student I can firmly attest to her abilities, efforts, and preparedness as an educator. She was everytime motivated and patient to help any student understand. She can use tools like computers and projectors as an aid to training. She was always been an effective teacher by using the class time effectively. I can say that no one lesson has been boring!

Aug 2011 - Aug 2012
I taught Global History 3-4 (10th grade) using technology in the classroom to engage a diverse student population. I prepared students for the New York Regents Exam by focusing on literacy skills. I created and implemented the curriculum for an elective called “Death and Destruction” about modern conflicts for twelfth graders. Lastly, I worked with the administration to map out and refine the curriculum. I taught Global History 3-4 (10th grade) using technology in the classroom to engage a diverse student population.

Nov 2005 - Jun 2010
I planned and taught English lessons for a private language school to children starting at three years old and adults both in the school and on-site at workplaces such as military facilities, hospitals and factories. I prepared students to pass the Oxford English exams and the TOEFL exam in order to increase their desirability as both potential students and employees. I also worked with the administration of the school to refine and modernize the curriculum and the materials used in the classroom. Show less
