About Me
italki teacher since May 6, 2020InterestsTravelFoodMedical & Healthcare
We’re all capable of accomplishing more than we ever thought possible! So much of being able to achieve a goal is choosing the best people to support you. In my own life, I’ve accomplished some of my biggest accomplishments (TV co-host, writing a book, learning to speak French) because I surrounded myself with people who truly believed in me. When learning a new language, the same principle applies. It’s so important to find a teacher who believes in you and encourages you. As a teacher, this is what I do best. Our lessons together will be positive and motivating. This kind of learning is what I create because learning English is so much easier and fun that way!

As a creative and compassionate teacher, I know how to work with you to achieve your goals. Helping you get the most out of our sessions is important to me. With a background in theater, television, and video production, I’m confident using all kinds of creative communication tools to help build your conversational skills. I believe passionately in having fun while learning something new. You will no doubt experience both a sense of joy and compassion when you choose me as your teacher. Adjectives to describe my teaching style are motivating, at-ease, friendly and encouraging. I’ll make it a high priority to make our English lessons together interesting, interactive and engaging.
It's simple...I love talking with people! Asking questions and helping you learn the English language is somethin...My teaching material

Conversations with Melissa this year have magically boosted my confidence in English. They have been my weekly dose of inspiration and energy. It was so inspiring and uplifting to talk about meaningful topics. I could not imagine it was possible to have such a deep conversation in a non-native language. Thank you so much, Melissa!
