Me as a Teacher
10+ years of experience in the marketing and tech industry
I specialize in effective communication in a business environment, including business communication, presentations, meetings, and interview preparation.
I also love teaching conversation classes and helping you improve your speaking skills. We look at conversation topics like travel, pop culture, science, and more!
I am a patient teacher and I try to create a supportive and fun and positive environment for all of my students.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach with the communicative method, which encourages the student to speak immediately.
We look at articles, videos, and conversation topics to improve vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and speaking confidence.
In business classes, we will look at your industry and focus on terms, build vocabulary, etc.
In general English classes, I use ppt teaching lessons to teach grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills.

Milissa is a wonderful teacher.She has all of the features that English tutor should have.I followed her to study English over half years,maybe 8 months .I thought I have already made a huge progress.For example,believe or not,I could have read the novel(harry potter) even if i have to need Milissa's help. Maybe for others,it's just a piece of cake,but for me ,it 's big step.Just thank Milissa again!

I really liked my first class with Melissa. In fact, it has been my first class with a teacher on the Internet. She´s an excellent teacher, besides she made me feel more comfortable and confident. I could talk a lot......even though I don´t consider myself a very talkative person. It was a great experience. Our first class was useful for introduce each other. Everything else....informal conversation. I need more practise.

My lessons with Mellissa are always very nice. I do not feel like I learn English but like I have very pleasant chat with my friend. Thanks
