About Me

Hej allihopa! My name is Mel and I'm both Swedish and Sámi, I live close to the countryside in Stockholms county with my three cats. I'm passionate about staying active and include either yoga, cycling, weightlifting, or Krav Maga in my daily routine. I speak three languages fluently and study daily, currently focusing on French, German, Russian, and Chinese. I have a deep fascination with different cultures and languages, and I’m always excited to share that passion with others. I’d love to meet you—so book a lesson with me, and let's have fun while improving your Swedish together! :)Me as a Teacher
I’m passionate about learning languages and love guiding others on that same journey. Meeting new people and helping them improve brings me joy. I enjoy using my creativity to tailor my teaching to each student's unique needs and help them on an individual level.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversational, focused on building your confidence in speaking. I want you to feel safe and comfortable making mistakes—it's all part of the learning process.
I deeply respect individual learning differences and tailor each lesson to your specific wants and needs. While I have my teaching techniques, I’m flexible and open to using what works best for you.
No need to worry if you're a beginner; we can start with basic conversations and gradually advance together. Book a trial lesson with me today, and let’s get you fluent in Swedish!Teaching experience

I enjoy and value working with Melina very, very much. She creates a relaxing and highly effective environment to practice speaking Swedish, and she is a joy to work with and get to know. I look forward to working with her as I reach my goal of being fluent in Swedish!

The lesson was great! Mel was really fun to talk with, she was really patient with me, helped me provide additional vocabulary, and the atmosphere was really chill. If you are on the fence, this is your sign to book a lesson already :)

Omg, Mel is such a patient and yet enthusiastic teacher in our weekly Swedish conversation class! Always on time, brings great vibes to each lesson, very helpful with vocabulary and grammar tips. Her experience abroad and multiple languages she has studied gives her a global perspective and language learning sensibilities. Her location in N Sweden gives a new perspective on life in this country, rather than just the Stockholm point of view. Living in N Sweden myself, I appreciate this. On top of it all Mel is just plain fun. It's a bright point every week when we meet and I then fumble through Swedish with nothing but encouragement from her. Absolutely my favorite language teacher ever.
