O mnie
Nauczyciel italki od 16 Dec 2016Temat zgodny z zainteresowaniamiHistoriaZdrowieTechnologia
I enjoy finding creative solutions to everyday problems.
I can help you see your own mistakes, and choose which mistakes are causing you problems.
Together, we'll find the best strategies for you to learn and improve.
I specialise in Academic English as well as exam preparation--IELTS, the Cambridge exams, TOEFL, and Duolingo. I've been teaching English for over 20 years, and have taught most types of students and classes.
I work with adults and teenagers over 16.
Because of the type of teaching I do, I take students who are intermediate+ or B1+, but not beginners.
Have you heard of the flipped classroom?
Often, students come to class, listen to the teacher, and then do their homework.
In my classes, I give you homework, then you come to the class and we look at your work.
I might give you a reading exercise, and then analysis your incorrect answers.
I might ask you to watch a video and then discuss it, using new vocabulary or grammar.
Often, students write short essays for me and we talk about what they've done well and what needs to improve.
For every hour you spend with me, you'll have between 60 and 90 minutes of work to do on your own.Moje materiały dydaktyczne

Melanie is a very kind teacher who has taught me many skills to tackle Task 1 and Task 2. She patiently pointed out both major and minor mistakes in my essay, helping me to make it sound more natural. :) I really appreciate the lessons.

The quotation is mostly correct but could be improved for clarity and flow. Here’s a revised version:
Having Melanie as a teacher is truly rewarding. She is supportive and insightful in teaching speech fluency. Her knowledge spans from nature to culture, making her a master raconteur.
