Hallo Schüler! I'm Meli, a Passionate Polyglot looking to brighten your day with a new approach to language learning. I am a Certified Integral Coach and Master of Psychology in Education graduate Columbia University. Learning in a positive and fun way is so rewarding, so I look to help you discover joy in your language pursuits. I use science-backed tools from Positive Psychology to change the way you relate to learning German.
I have lived on 5 continents and visited 31 countries! All people are welcome in this non-judgmental learning environment :)
Me as a Teacher
I am a native German and English speaker and have professional experience teaching German to native English speakers, and teaching English to non-natives. Additionally, I have a bachelor's in language (Arabic) and though it is not the language I am teaching, this highly rigorous background in translation will be of benefit to both beginners and advanced students.
As a forever-learner of languages, I have the deepest respect for you and see us as equals. Right now I am learning AND teaching because there is always more to know.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach German, English, and beginner's Spanish.
I customize lessons based on your goals, time constraints, and learning style. My focus is on long-term relationships where you learn more about how you learn and what works best for you.
I look forward to working with dedicated students, growing a relationship, and assigning creative and transformative homework for long-term success.

I really have to thank you a lot for all the energy, love, patience, and attention that you give me during these sessions. I couldn't imagine before, that these lessons will be so useful for my professional and personal growth. It is like I've found a guardian angel. I can't wait to continue these rich exchanges. See you as soon as possible!

Meli ist der beste Lehrerin, um ein Gespräch zu unterrichten. Sie ist immer fröhlich und der Unterricht ist sehr lustig und interessant. Ich lerne Deutsch und viele Kuriositäten.

Es ist ein Wunder, dass jemand wie Meli existiert. So rein, so leidenschaftlich, so liebevoll, so energetisch, et so brennend! Ihre Spiritualität ist wie das Feuer das bedingungslose brennte. Mit ihr zu sprechen war erfüllend auf vielen verschiedenen Sinnen: sprachlich, mental, emotional und spirituelle! Ich hatte großes Glück, sie kennenzulernen! vielen Dank, Meil. Bleibe echte, bleibe starke, bleibe so wie du bist.
