Hi everyone, my name is Meyling Kong, I am 30 years old and I am from Trujillo, Perú.
Currently, I am living in Indaial, Brazil and I've been a Spanish Tutor for over 5 years here on Italki.
I have a NEUTRAL SPANISH ACCENT that can help you understand the language better and I will help you achive it if that's what you are looking for.
I love teaching, dancing and having a good laugh, I always try to be in a positive mind set. To me, being able to meet new people and help them comunicate in spanish is the best feeling ever!
Me as a Teacher
Since I was 16 years old I worked teaching little kids English to help my parents pay for my studies.
When I turned 19, I had the chance to travel to the US and live and work in Hawaii for 4 months, and that's where I could master English at an advance level.
I studied Management and Tourism and because of my career it was a requirement to speak English fluently, that's why I decided to not only teach English, but to teach Spanish to tourists that came to my city either for work or for tourism.
Now, I want to be able to keep teaching many people from different countries and help them improve their Spanish in the best way possible.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is conversational, we can pick a topic that you prefer or I can suggest, we can talk about everything you want related to current events, cultural topics, etc. Also you can ask me questions about my country and culture so I can introduce new words to your vocabulary.
I know that learning a new language is such an adventure and it can have their challenges, I know that first hand since I am currently learning Italian, French and Chinese Mandarin.
However, I will make sure to help you and support you to keep on going and be motivated. Let's have a positive attitude and don't give up on this adventure.
Today was my 4th lesson with Meyling, and I learn a little more about different cultures and improve my Spanish every time. Every lesson has been fun and very productive. The conversation just flows so naturally, so if you want to have fun while learning, you don't need to look any farther than Meyling. 5 stars!

That was excellent, Meyling! I like your approach!!! I think we can should be able to get along fine! You were quick to understand the way in which I need to learn! Not everyone is that quick! The materials I showed you can be adapted very easily to teach any language!!! At least, the pictures of colours, animals, food and drink, clothes I showed you at the end of the class can be!!! The beauty of the cards and the visual images in the software is that there are no words in any language on them, so they can be adapted to teach any language to anybody, anywhere in the world!!! if you don't want them to hear English, just turn your sound down a bit, or, just use the cards (or your own cards)!!! Cards are brilliant!!!

Mey is not only a good teacher, she is easy to talk to, fun and interesting. She is able to talk about many different subjects and correct me without interrupting the conversation. I felt like I was talking to a friend, and I appreciate her encouragement and support as I try to improve my Spanish.

This is my very first lesson with Meyling and I would have to agree with all the reviews that she is a totally delightful person, and I hope to have many more lessons with her
