About Me

Hello everyone! 안녕하세요 여러분! My name is Maleah (말리아) but you can call me Mia (미야). I am originally from Florida, but I am now living in Alabama in the United States. I graduated from Faulkner University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Counseling Psychology. I’m currently working on an Master of Science in Clinical Mental Heath with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy . As a language learner in Korean (한국) and Spanish (español), the greatest factor in my continued learning was having regular refresher lessons and being able to talk in those languages with people who were native or also learning the languages I was studying.Me as a Teacher
You might be wondering what qualifies me to teach and tutor you. I truly believe that the best way to stick to your studies, especially concerning language learning, is to have a friend from that background.
My other qualifications are...
- that I am a native English speaker with no accent but I have lived in places with strong accents.
- I have tutored high school students in English and Comprehension and I am very patient.
- I am a fellow language learner. I see that as a big advantage because I can closely relate to the frustrations that can cause learners to get tired and want to quit and help you push past it.
- I am a flexible teacher and can easily cater my lessons to your needs.My lessons & teaching style
- Let's Start Talking class for Intermediate & Advanced learners trying to build your confidence speaking with native speakers or preparing for university or travel (Willing to take beginner if they're willing to work with me and take it slow)
- Speak, Write, and Listen class for students or professionals trying to make their English more eloquent to be read and heard by native speakers/readers
- English at the Movie class for those focused on understanding and immersing into American culture, language, and slang. While focusing on comprehension and application as they pertain to your context; whether a student, adult, or professional.My teaching material

2020 - 2021
ESL TeacherI worked here first and fine-tuned my strengths and weaknesses in teaching. The platform ended up not working for me and thankfully I found iTalki and it worked out better for me.

Maleah is a best teacher I ever had. The lessons prepared me for my test and I could learn without effort. She has this method (I guess because she is a psychologist) that teaches through explanation and examples. And at the end I know the stuff and even didn’t learn like before. Also I was corrected and thought the right pronunciation (we repeated the words til I got it right what I really appreciate). And the correct sentence building. All in a relaxed but powerful way. Thank you! I highly recommend Maleah for any kind of lessons because she recognizes the points and knows to combine all what the student needs to learn. Thank you again!

As an entrepreneur myself, having a conversation with a young businesswoman like her gives me more motivation. I enjoyed sharing each other's business progress today.

Thank you Maleah, I felt good during the lesson. It is easier when your teacher is gentle and communicative.
