I'm Melissa, a CELTA-qualified English language teacher with 10+ years' experience with learners of varied ages, proficiency levels and cultural backgrounds. I've worked in schools and academies all over the world, and during the summers I teach academic English courses at UK universities, including Manchester Metropolitan. I live in Lisbon, Portugal, and in my free time I'm trying to learn as many languages as possible!
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
After having worked in schools for many years, I now work as a freelance teacher with companies, universities and individuals, specialising in English for specific purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Some of my recent highlights include teaching aviation English for ATC students in Spain, as well as EAP skills at MMU in Manchester.
I am patient and friendly, and I make sure lessons are calm and relaxed so that students can build confidence and fluency from the start. In my classes there is no judgement and mistakes are welcome; this is how to grow and improve!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are based on the communicative approach, so that students are constantly able to put the language they have learnt into practice. I am able to personalise classes according to the learner's needs and goals. This might mean that you need to focus on specific skills, such as writing or speaking, in order to take an exam. We can clarify these goals together and I can plan your classes accordingly. As a language learner myself, I am patient and understanding, and I have an understanding of the common difficulties faced by English learners and how to overcome these.

General English (A1-C2) | Structured course to move up CEFR levels
Melissa helped me preparing my Cambridge Exam (C1 level). She is very competent and patient. She provided useful materials, she marked every exercise that I sent to her and she gave me all of the information that I needed to be ready for the exam. I would totally contact her again if needed.

I really like lessons with Melisa. I had many teachers before but Melisa is just the best. She puts a lot of energy into lessons and She always prepares lesson content in advance, which is awesome and as a consequence lessons are never boring.

Great first class with Melissa. She set up an activity to make me practice my speaking, because that's what I need the most. She offered lots of tips on new vocabulary and she shared a documents with her notes, very useful.
She is kind and relaxed, she understands what a students needs and is keen on providing suggestions on how to be more accurate in your speaking.
