I am TEFL and TESOL certified. I took International TEFL Academy's program in Costa Rica in 2018 and have been teaching since then. I have taught a wide variety of students, from beginners to advanced, and I love what I do. I firmly believe the classroom should be a fun and interactive environment for students.My lessons & teaching style
I am a patience teacher and I'm comfortable teaching any level of English learner. If you are unsure what level you are, I will work with you to determine it, and I will also provide you with a short survey and list of questions to determine which areas should be focused on to create customized lesson plans based on your needs.My teaching material

The class for my six year old daughter is so interesting that my three year old son always sits next to her and listens to Melody😀

I had an awesome first lesson with Melody, this was the first sort of ''structured'' lesson I have taken here on iTalki in quite a long time and I really enjoyed it, she was extremely engaging and able to spot my mistakes in pronunciation which is good and really helpful for me to polish all those details. Highly recommended teacher.

Melody is great teacher, first lesson on italki was with her and my 12 years old nephew, and both my nephew and I enjoyed the lesson and the story they read and discussed! She also sent me a feedback about him, and great story library material. Thanks a lot for your patient, enthusiasm, time management, and everything.
