Hi! My name is Mélissa, and I am from the Normandy region in France! I have always been a language lover, and that pushed me to learn Japanese as a major at university. Currently, I work in the tourism industry in Japan, which enables me to meet people from many countries! Before, I also lived in Australia and I travelled to many countries. I especially love foreign cultures, nature, and outdoor activities. However I am a very curious person who enjoys learning about many topics, and discovering new hobbies all the time. Recently, I got into Japanese embroidery (very niche I know..) Let's have a fun time learning French together! :)

Me as a Teacher

The goal is to learn French in a fun and relaxed way, so do not feel pressured if you are struggling to get your words out. I am very patient, and I can give you hints if needed. I had a hard time learning Japanese at university myself, since I felt pressured in class, so I know what kind of feeling you can go through in the learning process. Also, I believe learning languages is not always a straight line, and you can forget even basic vocabulary sometimes. Do not hesitate to ask me vocabulary again, even if you asked several times already!

My lessons & teaching style

I like to tailor my lessons depending on the needs of my students. If you want to focus on the speaking practice, we can have a relaxed talk where I give you all the vocabulary you need to make your sentence. For experienced learners, I also like to make my students find themselves their mistakes, instead of pointing them out myself. This is a good way to memorize the correct way of saying something. I am looking forward to meeting you all!
