Ich als Lehrkraft
I’m a patient and friendly certified teacher of English and French:
🎓 168-hour Level 5 TEFL Certificate with Distinction
🎓 La Jolie Ronde Certificate in Teaching French to Children
I have experience teaching children and adults of different levels:
👩🏻🎓 5 years teaching French to children in 2 public primary schools in the UK
👩🏻🎓 1 year teaching French to children and adults 1-to-1
👩🏻🎓 1 year teaching British children phonics and reading as a volunteer in a primary school
👩🏻🎓 1 year informal English tutoring when travelling round the world
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
😀 Enjoyable and engaging lessons to keep you motivated
😀 Focus on the individual needs of each student
✅ Advice on successful language learning
✅ I specialise in pronunciation as I believe this is the key to being easily understood, and I studied linguistics and phonetics as part of my degree.
👩🏽🧔🏻: we can have a relaxed conversation about anything that interests you, and work on any new vocabulary, grammar points or errors that arise, or we can have a more structured lesson using authentic resources to improve your speaking, listening, reading and/or writing skills
👧🏽👦🏼: I use puppets, toys, props, games, stories and songs so children learn English in a natural and fun way!

I was impressed when I heard my daughter reading an English book about a Gingerbread man on her own during her lesson with Melanie! She made a huge progress.
