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.Me as a Teacher
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.My lessons & teaching style
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.
IMPORTANT: On Italki, lessons can be canceled/rescheduled 24 hours or more before the lesson start time. Within 24 hours, the lesson may only be canceled/rescheduled in cases of emergencies or unavoidable situations.
If you are interested in lessons with me, please be sure to fill out the "Contact Teacher" form on my profile, so that I may better tailor your lesson to your needs and interests. Also, if you have a particular topic in mind that you would like to study, please ask me!Certificates
