About Me
italki teacher since Nov 6, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesMusicPets & AnimalsFoodTravel
Salut! I’m a conversation-focused French teacher specializing in helping busy adults achieve fluency with confidence.
With more than 400 students taught in the past 5 years, I’ve honed my approach to cater specifically to professionals, travelers, and lifelong learners who want to speak French naturally, without the stress of traditional classroom settings.
As a language learner myself (currently learning Korean), I understand the challenges adults face, so I keep lessons relaxed, engaging, and tailored to real-life situations like business meetings, travel, or casual chats.
Book a trial lesson now to see if we're a good match :)
Me as a Teacher
I tutored Korean natives of all ages for four months in Korea (2020). I have been a French teacher on Italki since 2020 and I have taught French to more than 200 students (8-79 years old).
No matter your level, we will focus on your speaking skills from the first lesson.
I can design a lesson plan that suits your needs and goals. I am also a language learner myself, so I can relate to some of your challenges and I would love to share some tips with you.
I use "tu" with all my students, so don't be surprised! ;) Get a cup of tea or coffee and let's chat. Making mistakes is natural and part of the learning process. Let's do it!

Mel has been very helpful in my journey to learn French. She corrects my pronunciation. She uses repetition of past lesson materials to reinforce learnings. She does a great job of answering my questions. She provides content in a shared document so we can review together and that I can use as reference later. She is a patient teacher.

Melanie is an amazing teacher! I love the syllabus she has created to progress me through my extremely elementary French, and I feel that I'm learning so quickly with her teaching method. I like the half conversational, half structured teaching that we have, and I look forward to our classes always. Thanks Melanie!
