About Melissa
I am still working in the media industry as an online news editor but also work with English language students since completing a Tesol graduate certificate. English is my first language but having been a student myself of other languages I appreciate how hard it can be to learn another language. I don't have a set lesson plan as my preference is to tailor the approach to individual students/classes' needs and levels of proficiency. As a working journalist, I often like to incorporate current affairs and social issues into the lesson. Learning English is hard work so I try, whenever possible, to make it fun and interesting.

My lessons are shaped by context: ie, students' age, nationality, level of schooling, needs and interests. Approaches might also vary according to students's expectations - ie, some people expect or prefer a traditional approach with emphasis on vocabulary and grammar drills, others are happy to have a less formal approach practising conversation, reading, writing and speaking using everyday language needs. Lessons might also focus on preparation for upcoming exams, or specific work goals.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Melissa.
Perfect! I hired Melissa to tutor my mum whilst on her visit over from Germany. My mum loved her lessons with Melissa. She enjoyed that Melissa understood exactly what she was after and taught her English in a way that was in line with her abilities. Melissa would sit down with her for an hour to go through conversational topics and then she would take her out for the second hour to put the lessons into practice. Mum was impressed with the thought and effort that Melissa put into the class. Highly recommend Melissa as an English tutor!
- I tutored Maria, Jana's mother, for just a few weeks while she visited her family living in Brisbane. Maria was a delightful student and it was lovely to learn more about her life and home city in Germany while we worked on ways to give her focus areas on which to concentrate more English practice/conversation ability as she acclimatised to the new language all around her. It's a daunting thing, but Maria's determination to learn and improve, even for just a short visit, will help her quest to continue working on her English fluency from home. I expect her next visit to Australia will be very enjoyable, with plenty of interesting conversations. All the very best!Melissa's response :
Perfect! Melissa is a fantastic English tutor who is attentive and patient with her students. She takes the time to understand her students' needs and comes up with personalized learning strategies that are effective and useful for English learning. She is very encouraging and open-minded, creating a positive and supportive learning environment that helps her students to feel confident in their abilities.
Melissa's broad range of knowledge about current issues is another impressive aspect of her teaching. Her ability to incorporate real-world topics into her lessons not only helps her students to improve their language skills, but also broadens their understanding of important issues happening around the world, particularly in Australia.
Her dedication to her students, combined with her knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching, make her an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their English language skills.- Ray is a highly motivated intelligent student who is a pleasure to tutor. His knowledge of English is at an advanced level and he’s an enthusiastic conversationalist in our tutorials, keen to improve his grasp of Aussie English by participating in chats about a wide range of topics and through listening practice with the authentic dialogues we have found online. He recognises that analysis of each word and sentence structure isn’t helpful in spoken communication, and is trying instead to focus on making sense of the words he can recognise, and context, in order to keep up with what’s being said. Australian English is not easy for people new to it, but Ray has embraced the challenge with a great deal of curiosity and bravery, choosing some interesting and diverse online resources by which to listen to Australians with very strong accents and broad-ranging social backgrounds. This in turn leads to interesting conversations in the tutorials. I hope Ray will be able to employ his growing confidence in his Aussie language skills with more conversations in his local community. He has a lot of interesting things to say, and I’m sure there are many Australians out there who would enjoy a chat with him.Melissa's response :
