Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am 34 years old! I graduated from the Sorbonne and I have been teaching French, English, and Spanish for 12 years.
I was born and raised in Paris, but I come from a multicultural and multilingual family.
Consequently, I am completely fluent in French, English, and Spanish.

Je vous apprécie. She grows your confidence in excelling. It starts to connect faster whenever we have bonus classes so I definitely suggest you take her up on that because it reinforces the lessons previous in how I talk more spontaneously. Merci !

Melissa is incredible. Her classes are fun and engaging, and it's so clear that she customizes the lessons to my skill level and my specific goals. She is the main reason why I am processing so quickly in French, and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Worth every cent! Melissa has been my French teacher for almost a year and she is hands down the best language teacher I've ever had. She is patient and friendly, but professional, so that standards remain high and I am (kindly and gently) compelled to improve. Best of all, she customizes the lessons to target my specific issues. Her dedication and intuition have been a huge help to me. Very highly recommended!

My trial lesson with Melissa went very well. I was most interested in the trial in simply learning about her teaching style and methods and I was impressed. She is very organized and goal-directed, tries to tailor the learning to what the student wants to accomplish in the future (e.g. testing? conversation for travel? etc.). It is obvious that she has put together a ton of resources during her years of teaching. She has an welcoming personality as well and I felt very comfortable with her as a teacher. Definitely top notch.

Melissa does a great job explaining complex grammar concepts in a very clear and manageable way. She's very encouraging!
