Hello! I am a professional English teacher from the United States. I love meeting new people and am excited to begin lessons together! My goal is to give you the confidence you need to speak English in both professional business settings and casually. I care about the people I work with and want to help you achieve your goals. My personal interests include reading, yoga, running, and traveling. I love traveling and have even lived in a few countries such as Mexico, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Romania, and cannot wait to explore more.Me as a Teacher
My goal is to provide you with the best and most authentic tools to accelerate your learning. I center my teaching style around the concept of kaizen, or constant improvement. Whether you prefer structured lessons or casual conversation, I believe there is always a way to improve upon your existing skills. My goal is to provide high-quality lessons in a relaxed and fun environment. Together, we will map out your learning goals and develop a plan of action to achieve them.My lessons & teaching style
*Please note that I do not have experience teaching children and do not offer lessons for children!*
I want to offer lessons that are entirely personalized and enjoyable. We will determine the most essential skills to focus on and decide what kind of material and structure will help you learn best and are most relevant to you. Our lessons will be a continuous learning experience and we will build off of each meeting. We can study more nuanced topics such as interviews, resumes/CVs, negotiations, international business cultures, or even interacting with colleagues in a nonprofessional scenario. My goal is to offer well-rounded lessons that will help you improve your skills in all areas!My teaching material

Melissa is the best teacher I had experience with. She is very attentive, easy-going, open to talk about every topic I'm interested in. During the lesson I always get new vocab. No doubts, Melissa helped me to increase my confidence in conversational English.

As always, the best experience with Melissa. I feel very comfortable talking to her and she gives me a lot of confidence to talk despite my mistakes. We talked about interesting topics that I didn't think I could talk about in English, despite this, I always have a good time <3

Melissa is undoubtedly a good person, but I hesitate to label her as a teacher. I was looking for business English because I wanted deep into more advanced topics. I believe I just need someone with a more serious approach, not just with occasional english conversations.
