About Me

Hello, my name is Melissa, but you can call me Mel! I am a young, enthusiastic ESL teacher from Johannesburg, South Africa. I am very passionate about teaching and would love to help you improve your confidence in English. I am a Law graduate, currently doing a Master's in Intellectual Property Law. I have a 120-hour TESOL Certificate. I have over two years’ teaching experience, teaching both children and adults. I am a very punctual and reliable individual, so my students never have to worry about me being late for class or not showing up at all.Me as a Teacher
I believe that respect is the best policy, therefore I treat all of my students with respect. I am a very patient, kind, and approachable teacher. My students can feel free to be themselves and talk to me about anything. My goal as a teacher is to help improve all my students' confidence with English. I will be focusing on conversational English, Grammar, pronunciation, and English Fluency. I also have a Corporate background, therefore I can assist students with corporate-related needs such as (preparing for an interview, preparing for a presentation, or even going over a business plan).My lessons & teaching style
Lessons with me are conversational. I believe that students learn best when they are free and comfortable to just be themselves. I understand that each student learns differently; therefore, my lessons are each structured differently, to suit each individual's unique set of needs. Do not be shy to make mistakes; in my class, mistakes are all part of the process. We can have a conversation about current affairs, travel, sport, food, entertainment, or anything that appeals to a student. In that way, I can pick up mistakes and help correct my students' pronunciation and fluency in English. My students can expect fun class quizzes and PowerPoint presentations.My teaching material

It was very good the class with Melissa, she is a very organized, pacient and helpful teacher. She did corrections and tips in the time the class was happening, which is something that I really like. For sure I will take more classes with her.
