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.

Melisa is an excellent teacher. We covered vocabulary and practiced conversation around topics of interest to me. She was great at assessing understanding, unintrusively correcting grammar, and setting learning goals. Overall, the lesson was interesting, fun, and useful!

I have had two lessons with Melisa to improve my Spanish (in the Rioplatense variant) and she is helping me a lot. If you want to learn / improve your Spanish, I highly recommend her! :)
