About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2019Interest topicGamingReadingFilms & TV Series
Hello together
I'm born and raised in and around Basel, Switzerland.
After 4 years of travel I am back in Switzerland.
I have lived in Budva, Montenegro; Bangkok, Thailand; Bali, Indonesia; and Playa Del Carmen, Mexiko.
But the mountains called me back and now I life in Basel, where I also work.
I casually hop on here to teach the occational lesson. So if you are looking for a refesher, a short prep lesson for telc or the Integrationsinterview, I am your gal.
I like to play video games (Witcher, Stardew Valley,...), knit or crochate, and at the moment I work on my running.Me as a Teacher
"German is the hardest language to learn!"
"This makes now sense!"
You know ... those thoughts we are having when learning German.
They are NOT true!
I believe that German can be explained and actually be fun as well.
I have been told that I explain Grammar and Vocabluary in good ways and animate people to stay motivated. ;)
Find out if our chemistry matches in a trail lesson.
Please understand that I can't accept more then 4 hours of lessons per day to keep the quality up. Of course I will try to find an other time slot for you, in case you book a day that already reached capacity.My lessons & teaching style
You want to learn through talking?
We can do that. We'll talk about what you're interested in and I'll take notes for you and write them down in a google dox.
Feel free to book my "Konversation für besseres Deutsch"
You want to learn it all: Grammar, Vocabulary, Listening, and Conversation?
Then the "ALL IN ONE" is for you. Go ahead and book your first lesson.
If you want to finally understand Baseldeutsch then the "DIALECT" is for you.
You have a telc/Goethe or a fide exam coming up and you want to be prepared to pass. Then "TELC" is for you. I can not give you a guarantee that you will pass, but so far all my students have passed their exams.
I'm looking forward to meet you.My teaching material

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! Mel has an understanding of students, and a teaching ability that only come from years of experience in the classroom. As well as that, Mel‘s very nice with a great sense of humour!
