Melisa

Medical Spanish with Melisa – For years I spoke my rudimentary (and in retrospect often incorrect) medical Spanish at work but I didn’t see any improvement, maybe in part because my patients are too polite to correct me. But now with italki I’m finally making progress. Melisa wrote up some medical dialogues for me and we work through the specific language that I use for performing an H&P, giving patient instructions, etc. She knows the proper terminology and she patiently helps me to clean up my phrasing to sound more appropriate and professional. Plus, she has a great sense of humor and is just a lot of fun to talk with about all kinds of topics. My patients have complimented me on my progress and I encourage them with their budding English, all of which makes our clinical encounters all the more enjoyable.

Melisa is by far the best tutor/conversation partner I have found. She is patient, able to speak slowly and clearly when needed, has an excellent command of English to help with translation, and is an interesting person to chat with, knowledgeable in many topics. Thank you Melisa!

Melisa is a very attentive and informative teacher. As an English teacher in my real life, I feel so lucky to have found her. Her own struggles with learning other languages definitely helped her become more patient and supportive teacher understanding her students who are likely to go through the similar learning process. Thank you Melisa!

Melissa and I always have a fun conversation. This is exactly what I want/need!
