About Me
italki teacher since Sep 8, 2014InterestsSports & FitnessTravelArtHistoryReading
I am a native-born American from Austin, Texas, an English Language Educational Aide in France, and a professional online English & Spanish teacher. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish and I lived in Spain for 2 years. I specialize in English conversation and pronunciation, as well as Spanish conversation and grammar. Ahora me presento en español. Me llamo Melanie, licenciada en la lengua española y sería un placer ayudarle a usted con su español ya sea con conversación o gramática. Llevo más de cuatro años dando clases particulares de español y le puedo ayudar a usted también.
I found my passion for teaching while in college when I quit my part-time job at a restaurant bussing tables. I followed the advice of a friend, who was a tutor, and started tutoring students for some extra cash. I tutored students in my major, which was Spanish, and eventually began helping English Language learners, as well. I found it to be such a rewarding experience; I loved it! I have worked with native speakers of Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Arabic and I have found that everyone has a unique perspective. Since graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Spanish, I have had wonderful experiences teaching English in schools in Spain & France.
I have always worked best in one-on-one tutoring. I am available to help students with conversation practice or language homework, including grammar and proofreading.

Melanie is a great teacher!
Today I finished the first 10-lesson package with her, and I can say that she helped me a lot improve my pronunciation, vocabulary, prepositions, and tenses. I will definitely take more classes with her again and highly recommend her.
