Hello, my name's Melanie, a professional English teacher and native speaker from England with an easy to understand accent. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures, food, music and countries. I'm naturally friendly and have a fun sense of humour and find laughter helps everyone relax and enjoy learning a new language.

Me as a Teacher

I've been teaching since 2010, I love my job and helping my students to feel confident as they improve in their English skills. Being able to teach online is the most rewarding and exciting career opportunity I've ever had - to be able to talk to people from all over the world is really wonderful and I want to be able to help you to love my language, with all its funny little quirks, every bit as much as I do. So pull up a chair, relax with a cup of tea or coffee and let's talk English!

My lessons & teaching style

Learning a new language should be fun and enjoyable. I like to bring laughter to my lessons and try and make them friendly, fun and relaxed. Throw away those boring text books, you'll be amazed how quickly your English speaking and listening skills will improve with real conversations. As a native speaker, I'm able to easily help you become more fluent, not just with grammar but in your tone and pronunciation, to make it easier for you to communicate in English with other native speakers.
