I use my specialized training (Master's Degree in Communication Disorders) to identify trouble areas in your speech to help you become more understandable when you speak English. I use my training when listening to your speech to see where it deviates from ideal pronunciation. I help you to listen to yourself, and help you figure out how to make the sounds that are difficult for you. I am compassionate and also have a great sense of humor so that lessons are low-stress and actually fun. Most of my students are high-intermediate to advanced.

I help you to listen to yourself, and help you figure out how to make the sounds that are difficult for you. I am compassionate (I know it's not easy!) and also have a great sense of humor so that lessons are low-stress and actually fun. Most of my students are high-intermediate to advanced, so we often work at a conversational level, talking about a wide range of topics to make sure you are confident in any conversation. I use readings frequently, which are tailored to your level and interests. If needed, we do basic pronunciation exercises with lots of repetition to practice target sounds.

We first talked about current affairs, then we practiced pronunciation with a work by Dr Seuss. We ended the lesson with a discussion with storywriting and mythologies. Love it!

We talked about urban legends first then read a song by Bob Dylan. A very great lesson as usual. Melinda is a very attentive and supportive teacher!

We first discussed the news and then role-played in an absurdist play. It was a very fun and interactive lesson!
