My name is Melissa, and my first love, more than anything, is learning languages!
I'm a linguist who has dedicated most of her life to learning and teaching languages, because I believe that languages are an incredibly important tool. Learning languages allows us to see the world from a different point of view. As a language learner, I've become fluent in Spanish and I speak intermediate high Korean, plus I just started studying Dutch! I've met incredible people through these languages, and am excited to meet more.
In addition to learning languages, I'm also very passionate about travel! I've been to more than thirty countries, and plan on seeing a few more in 2018!지도 경험
My biggest motivation for becoming a teacher is hearing people say that learning English is "scary" or "impossible." It makes me sad to hear people say they aren't a "language person," or that it takes a special level of intelligence to learn a language. I disagree! I believe that with the right methods and with a dedicated teacher, anyone can learn a language to fluency, and they can have fun doing it!
That motivation has led to a career of over ten years. I've taught English to people in Panama, the US, South Korea, and the Netherlands. Some of my students have been so successful that they've studied abroad and found jobs in the US and international companies, using English every day! 내 강의 및 지도 스타일
As a teacher, I believe conversation is the most important aspect to learning a language, and I want to provide you with conversational skills that you can use immediately, no matter your level!
However, I also know that to be understood, you have to have a good basis in grammar and vocabulary, and that's why I strategically integrate them into conversation. We won't spend hours doing conjugation charts and memorizing vocabulary lists - instead, we'll learn grammar and vocabulary through thematic discussions, and in chunks of useful language.
My classes are suitable for beginners all the way through advanced, and I will alter my speech and pace accordingly.내 수업 자료

English Instructor - Intensive ProgramI worked as a university English instructor at Myongji University in Seoul, where I taught beginner and intermediate students. Many of my students found their passion for English in my classes, and realized that English does not have to be scary.

Peace Corps Volunteer and English TeacherAlthough I was a Peace Corps volunteer in charge of working with Environmental Health, I ended up teaching English for most of my job. I taught in a very rural environment, to children and adults in a school with no electricity or modern technology. Because of this experience, I am flexible and able to work with any materials I have to create an interesting and fun English lesson!
