Обо мне
Преподает на italki с 2 Mar 2020 г.Интересующая темаИТИскусствоФинансыПутешествияИстория
Raised in Indianapolis and living in Chicago, I am a native English speaker with a clear American accent.
Passionate about teaching English and intercultural awareness, I have over 20 years experience in TESOL instruction (in California, Germany, Indianapolis, and Chicago) and educational ESL/EFL publishing in New York City. I have taught in academic settings, businesses, private language schools, as well as private one-on-one classes for immigrants and expats.
Committed to language acquisition, I have spent my entire career helping English language learners master how to effectively communicate in order to improve their daily life, careers, and future opportunities.Показать перевод

I have been taking lessons with Melinda continuously. The sessions are extremely helpful for me, as she can tailor the lessons precisely to my needs (keynotes, moderating workshops, presentations, business conversations, etc.). Lately, we have been focusing more on presentation training, a newly developed module. This ongoing coaching is very helpful to me, not least because Melinda is excellent at adapting her approach to the fact that I deal with a changing audience, ranging from native speakers to non-native speakers in a global environment where English is spoken. I highly recommend her!

I'm glad I found Melinda. She is a rare gem, and her dedication to the lesson is unmatched. I love the lessons with personalized written notes and audio. They are well-structured, professionally done, and helpful. You can see her time and effort in each lesson. I have only taken a few classes with her. Still, I can confidently say she is one of the best teachers, especially if you are an advanced English learner.
