Hello, my name is Melissa! I'm 29 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 5 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.
