Certified TESL instructor with 5 years of classroom and online teaching experience. Hi, my name is Melissa. I live in Calgary, Canada. I love to travel, read, and meet people from around the world. I've lived in Belgium, Switzerland, and Australia and I have travelled all over the world including, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia. I have a degree in International Relations with a Minor in French. I am friendly and patient. Our classes will be relaxed and enjoyable but with a focus on improving your English skills. I have studied four languages including French, Spanish and Italian so I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. In addition to helping you improve your English, I can provide you with learning tools and techniques to assist you in learning English. I am able to adapt to your personal learning needs. If you want to work on your conversational skills, we can have a casual conversation about your life, hopes, dreams, and hobbies. If you are preparing for the IELTS exam, I have IELTS-specific speaking discussion topics. If you want to improve your English in the workplace, our focus can be Business English. If you are struggling with a grammar concept we can work on specific grammar skills with either grammar-targeted conversation practice or go over some grammar-based worksheets.

I’ve had only one lesson with Melissa, and I really liked her approach. She is professional, patient, and has a clear teaching style. Melissa’s background and experience are evident in how she structures the lessons, and she was able to adapt to my needs quickly. I will definitely continue to study with her.
