About Becky
Becky has always believed that the best learning happens beyond the classroom walls. Her love of travel first took root during college, when she spent a semester abroad immersed in art and culture across London, Amsterdam, and Italy. Later, while teaching in Albania and Greece, Becky not only inspired students of all ability levels but also organized adventures for fellow educators, ultimately visiting over 35 countries.
With a master’s degree in mathematics from Lesley University, Becky transitioned from the classroom to private tutoring, helping students succeed while encouraging them to embrace global opportunities. Now, with Samantha Trips, she combines her love of education, travel, and community, bringing curiosity, warmth, and enthusiasm to every journey. When she’s not traveling, Becky loves seeking out new restaurants, cycling/hiking, and enjoying walks on the beach with her two dogs.
