About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2019
Hello together
I'm born and raised in and around Basel, Switzerland.
My husband and I planed to be on a world tour for 2 years. We wanted to visit South East Asia, Australia, Africa and many more.
Due to Covid we life in Bali, Indonesia now.
And thanks to the Internet I can keep working. As we are traveling I'll keep teaching on italki as my main income. I try to keep my calendar as Swiss friendly as possible.
I like to cook and to eat and at the moment I work on my running.
Me as a Teacher
"German is the hardest language to learn!"
"This makes now sense!"
You know ... those thoughts we are having when learning German.
They are NOT true!
I believe that German can be explained and actually be fun as well.
I have been told that I explain Grammar and Vocabluary in good ways and animate people to stay motivated. ;)
Find out if our chemistry matches in a trail lesson.
Please understand that I can't accept more then 4 hours of lessons per day to keep the quality up. Of course I will try to find an other time slot for you, in case you book a day that already reached capacity.
My lessons & teaching style
You want to learn through talking?
We can do that. We'll talk about what you're interested in and I'll take notes for you and write them down in a google dox.
Feel free to book my "Konversation für besseres Deutsch"
You want to learn it all: Grammar, Vocabluray, Listening and Conversation?
Then the "rundum Packet" is for you. Go ahead and book your first lesson.
If you want to finally understand Baseldeutsch then the "Baseldeutsch endlich verstehen und selbst sprechen" is for you.
If you want to understand all Swiss Dialects and you want to work more efficiently than the "Loos mer zue!" (which means - Listen to me!) is exactly for you.
I'm looking forward to meet you.

Vielen Dank Mel! Ich habe so viel Deutsch mit dir gelernt. Ich hatte auch so viel Spaß. Ich werde nach meinem Prüfung mit dem Gespräch fortfahren.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! Mel has an understanding of students, and a teaching ability that only come from years of experience in the classroom. As well as that, Mel‘s very nice with a great sense of humour!

Sehr unterstützend! Auch wenn ich Dinge vergesse, obwohl ich gelernt habe, wiederholt Mel mit mir, bis ich’s lerne. Es wird nie langweilig.

We just had 30 min (trial class) to know each other and check out my level.
She had the class very well prepared and seems to be very patient and talkative.
