About Me
italki teacher since Jun 30, 2021Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I strive to create a friendly environment in which you feel comfortable making mistakes and stepping outside of your comfort zone. As a foreign language learner myself, I completely understand what it's like to struggle with grammar, reading and writing, and conversation practice. My goal is to help you not only develop your understanding of the English language, but also to improve your confidence so that you can speak without constantly worrying about making a mistake!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% customized for you and your language goals! Before each class I will send you a message to better understand what your aims are and what you'd like to focus on. Whether that's a specific grammar topic or just practicing your conversation skills, I want to teach you English that is relevant to you and your interests.
Because learning a foreign language is a marathon and not a sprint, I make sure to provide students with the tools they need to improve their English skills even after we hang up. I take notes during all my classes for students to revise afterwards, and, provided the student is interested, I recommend HW based on what was discussed in class.My teaching material

Melissa is not only an incredible teacher but also a bright, cheerful, and engaging person who is a perfect partner in discussion. She encourages you to speak freely and confidently without any pressure and helps you to expand your vocabulary and express yourself in a more sophisticated or just more natural way.

It was the first lesson, but I didn’t even feel how time flew by. The conversation was very natural, without any stress. Melissa is just great teacher! I'm excited to continue working with her. I feel like I've chosen the right path.
