Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 23. Nov 2016
Hi everyone, I'm currently in my examination period and then starting my new job, so I'm afraid I'm not taking italki requests at this time. Thank you for your patience, and see you again some other time!
Hello! My name is Melissa, and I'm a CELTA-qualified professional teacher of English and German with over four years experience here on Italki and elsewhere.
I'm bubbly, fun, and experienced - aside from tutoring, I've also directed language camps and worked as a teacher trainer. Like you, I'm a language learner - I speak German, French, Spanish and am currently working towards HSK5 in Mandarin.
Ich als Lehrkraft
While I've been trained in more formal approaches to language teaching, I believe firmly in the power of communication and the learning opportunities it affords. This means that I like to place focus on structured grammatical learning for beginners, but to reinforce it with immersive communication. As a teacher, I'm fun and relaxed, and love speaking to people all over the world. I'll correct what's relevant and what you want to correct, but won't stop you every two seconds - instead, I'll compile a list of notable errors, and go through them with you. Mostly, you'll correct yourself!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
In both community and professional lessons, I place focus on communication precisely because it's what's often lacking in so many students' more formal lessons.
During professional lessons I share my screen, and provide you with a copy of the vocabulary and grammar we have covered in a Word document. I also have access to a wide range of textbooks that we can use (IETLS, Business English, grammar books). When you first come to have lessons with me, we'll spend the first 20 or so of each lesson going through some diagnostic materials so I know what to work on. I am happy to set both homework and quizzes!
I'm relaxed and fun, but be prepared - nothing shall escape my eagle eyes!

I am confident that I can ask Melissa anything about English language. Her explanation is always neat.
