Hi, my name’s Rebecca McNeil, and I’m an Overseas Recruiter with Aclipse! After graduating college with an English degree, I knew teaching was something I’d like to pursue. However, I wanted to combine teaching with gaining experience overseas and learning about a different culture. Going to China gave me the perfect opportunity for both! Living in mainland China for a year and teaching English there was an experience that shaped my life in many positive ways. It opened my eyes to a new and exciting culture, introducing me to new food, art, fashion and a different way of life, while also showing me the commonalities between us all. Most importantly, teaching in Asia gave me a greater sense of confidence in myself.
I will never forget my students, who were ages 6 to 8 years old. In addition to being super cute and enthusiastic, they really challenged me and made me a better teacher and a better (more patient) person. I have heard people say that when you visit China it stays with you always. Well, my wonderful experience teaching there will definitely stay with me always. That’s why I feel lucky to be a Recruiter for Aclipse. Now, through Aclipse, I help others have an amazing adventure teaching English in Asia!
