Hello everyone! I'm Melissa but you can call me Mel. There's a little part of me from all over the world but for the sake of time, let's just say that I am from New York City. I've been to over 40 countries and I hope to visit more. I'm all about culture, travel, languages and connecting with others. Having lived in Spain and traveled extensively to different non-English speaking places, I've had to push myself to communicate and connect with locals in order to make the most of my experiences. In addition to English, I speak French and Spanish and am slowly learning Portuguese and Italian. Looking forward to meeting you!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I know what it's like to learn a foreign language-- from the exciting feeling when words are clicking to the not so exciting feeling when you may feel frustrated. I've been in your shoes so I can definitely relate. Over the last 15+ years, I've taught in formal and informal settings and have helped students of different ages and levels achieve their goals. During my time in Spain, I taught English in an elementary school and worked as a tutor. I also had a LOT of language exchanges with adults which was beneficial for both parties.
I taught elementary school aged kids at an IB school in NYC for 7 years. I am patient, likable, and strict--the perfect recipe for a great teacher.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
For English learners with a fair or intermediate level, I believe that conversing is the most effective way to improve your skills so I am open to having a discussion about your interests and topics of your choice. If you prefer a more rigid and structured program, I am also happy to incorporate it into your class. With me, you'll feel so relaxed and comfortable that you won't even feel like you're in a class.
Whatever your goals, I will prepare lessons that will support them and help you achieve them with confidence, fluency, and ease.
Today the class was excellent, like all the others. Teacher Melissa makes every day of class I take with her enjoyable and efficient. Thank you for everything teacher Melissa, you make me learn more every day. 🤍
