Me as a Teacher
I like to work with humor and generate a friendly and pleasant environment so that learning is entertaining and fun; include cultural aspects and work together with the student so that they reach their maximum potential at their own pace. I accompany my students in their learning and nothing makes me happier than witnessing their achievements. I am hardworking, passionate and dedicated to what I do. My goal is to give my students the necessary tools to become competent, critical and independent users of the language. It is VERY IMPORTANT that they want to work hard and commit to learning while also practising outside the class if they intend to achieve real long lasting results.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes are personalised and adapted to your interests and needs. The approach is communicational, we are going to focus on conversation so that you use the language from day one without neglecting written expression or reading and listening comprehension. I usually work with different materials depending on the student's preferences and their level: PDF or Word worksheets, audiovisuals, journalistic articles, literary texts, songs,films/series, grammar support, etc. I love mistakes and helping my students learn from them, becoming critical and confident accepting this is a long term process. I work with a gender and diversity perspective.

I really like the shared Google doc. It is my personal pathway to fluency. The activities are practical and help me to better understand my progress and where I might need help. The lessons reflect this as well and are very comprehensive. If you are looking to truly immerse yourself this is it!

Melisa provides excellent feedback. I really like her methods and she is full of helpful tips on how to organize and approach study. She always gives me something new to think about and really encourages me to keep going. It can be challenging, but I feel super confident and ready to tackle the language.

Melisa's lessons are comprehensive and include all major components for learning a new language (speaking, reading, writing, and listening). She makes the lessons manageable for working individuals and takes into account the realities of life. Homework is meaningful and helps to create learning opportunities outside of class. I find that I have learned more in the few lessons we have had together than I ever learned in an elementary college course.

I really enjoy our lessons. They are well designed and are meant to get you speaking or using the language right away. I find that each lesson I am better able to express myself and I have a better understanding of the language.

Melisa does an excellent job of explaining the grammar. She does not overwhelm you ,but gives you enough that you can understand the unit and get an overall feel for the language. She has planned her lessons to help you build and truly acquire the language. You will leave class more confident and motivated than ever!
