Liz has a First Class Honours Bachelors degree from the LSE and has been teaching since graduation. Her specialty is prose and poetry analysis as well as creative writing. However, she is also a believer in the necessity of accurate grammatical expression, and believes that this must also be taught explicitly for writers to become fluent users. Her wide-ranging experience makes her ideal for learners from the ages of 8 to 16.

For Latin, Liz prepares absolute beginners towards the ISEB 13+ exams and Independent secondary school entrance examinations. She can also help prepare towards the IGCSE Language papers, and with sufficient notice, can help with the set texts.

She has worked with AMG since 2005, before this working with the HKU SPACE extramural programme, writing and running courses in Pronunciation, Grammar and English for IELTS.

Graduating with a First Class degree in English from Oxford and an MPhil in Renaissance Literature from Cambridge University, Becky has spent over ten years teaching English and imparting her love of Literature to students ranging from kindergarten to university and degree-level in Hong Kong, Europe and the USA.

​

Learning and teaching yoga in India to both children and adults, she has travelled widely, and brings her passion for art, culture and empathic understanding into the classroom and studio, engaging her students’ sense of curiosity, wonder and play. As an English reviewer for over fifteen years, she has strong communication and organisational skills, while her pursuit of visual art, photography and writing allows her to find creative expression and connect with and inspire others. Believing in educating and edifying the whole person, she brings compassion and integrity to all her work and endeavours. Becky is not new to either HK or AMG.  This is her third stint tutoring with us and we welcome her back, knowing the quality of her teaching and the dedication in her approach.
