Hi! I’m Melvin, a **Certified TESOL Tutor** specializing in **fun, interactive English for kids** (songs, stories, games!) and **practical Business English**. Fluent in **British/American accents**, Igbo, and Nigerian Pidgin—I even teach Pidgin as a language!
With a **3-year ESL background**, I blend humor, music, and real-world experience (ex-call center, business developer) to make lessons lively. Whether you’re a **beginner or advanced learner**, let’s turn mistakes into progress—with zero stress!
**Kids, professionals, or culture lovers—book a lesson!** Let’s laugh, learn, and level up together. 🚀Me as a Teacher
I have a passion for teaching.
I see teaching as an avenue to build bridges between learners (as both the teacher and the student get to learn from themselves).
I enjoy joking and singing in my lessons. As a seeker of knowledge, I am always curious to meet my next student; it's an opportunity to explore new cultures.
I respect every student's rights and beliefs, which makes me always approach with an open mind and a smiling face.
I've been an ESL tutor for 2 years., I started my ESL tutoring career as an Engoo Tutors
I love teaching Kids
I teach all types of learners from Beginners to Advanced learners.My lessons & teaching style
I offer the following lessons:
1. Unique way of teaching Kids: Story telling, song singing, role play and rhymes
2. English for all level beginners
3. Grammar & Pronunciation correction classes
4. Business classes
5. Free conversations
My teaching style is tailored to each student's uniqueness, and I always encourage my students to speak freely to me.
I accept materials brought to the lesson by students (though I have to be pre-informed of such materials)

I feel sorry to leave a 3 star. But I find this lesson not too valuable for me as the teacher just told me to read the texts and not many questions to discuss. Probably a 30 minutes lesson is not enough to give proper feedbacks.
