Hello, my name is Melissa! I'm 30 years old, and I'm from Canada. I'm a native English speaker, and I have a neutral and clear accent. I'm very passionate about teaching, as well as helping others, and I have worked on many volunteering projects. My hobbies include cooking, writing, cycling, and hiking.
I enjoy learning about different cultures, and I love traveling solo. I've been to 27 counties, and I have lived in Southeast Asia for 3 years.

Me as a Teacher
I have been an English teacher for 6 years and taught various ages and speaking levels. I worked online for 2 years, teaching English to children and young adults in China. I have formal in-class experience working at several public and private schools in Vietnam for 3 years. I have a TESOL teaching certificate and a diploma in Educational Psychology. I also have a year of volunteer experience where I taught English to children in Indonesia and the highlands of Vietnam.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to make fun and engaging lessons for my students based on their interests and goals. The lessons I provide are comprised of interesting topics and fun activities that will help you develop confidence in your speaking. I will gently correct any errors in speaking and pronunciation. I will also help you improve on expanding your vocabulary and fluency.
My teaching style is very fun and engaging. I'm very patient and kind with my students and I love encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Shel is an excellent teacher and had a great lesson.

It is really great to talk to Melissa and our conversation goes into a very casual way like friends. We share what happened over the week and naturally move to the topics she proposed ahead of class. You won't realize how fast time flies and you definitely wanna book another session with her to continue the chat. She is very patient and will correct you on mistakes and give you advice on how native speakers will say. One more thing I appreciated most is whenever you have a question about the phrases, you can leave her a message and she will give you more elaboration and examples! I enjoyed every class with her and highly recommend you to give it shot.

Trial lesson was good, unfortunately with an abrupt ending.
