Melissa is an amazing tutor. Actually, she is more than a tutor. She always prepared the lesson very well and gave homework and feedback to the work. She is a very approachable teacher, and I feel really confident with her. I know that I will achieve my full potential with her great teaching skills.

Melissa is an excellent teacher!
I’ve been learning for many months with her and I made a lot of progress. The classes are always very well prepared. She really likes teaching and always has very good examples and a perfect pedagogy to share her knowledges. Thank you!

I’m so thankful to Melissa for her lessons. It was interesting and very useful for me. I had been studying for three months. For every lesson Melissa prepared absorbing tasks just in compliance with my wishes (grammar, vocabulary). She explains grammar very well – I’ve learnt many new things I didn’t know before! Many interesting nuances of English! And I’ve passed my English exam even more successfully than I had expected! So, I’m very glad that I chose her as my teacher because she is very pleasant, positive, patient as well as supportive person.

Very good and friendly teacher with great explaining and learning skills. I really enjoyed the conversation with Melissa.

Lehransatz
My lessons are adapted to the individual needs and wishes of each student. I listen to what you want to achieve and plan around your objectives. During the first lesson, we will identify exactly what you want to improve and I will design your personalised lessons accordingly. If you would like, I offer activities to do after each lesson to extend your learning.
My lessons are very communicative and will involve lots of speaking and error correction. In terms of pronunciation, I can give guidance on how to physically articulate sounds in order to help you speak more clearly and improve your accent. We can consider how sounds change in fast speech to help develop your listening skills.
I am patient, easy-going, friendly and keen to help your improve your English as much as possible.
