About Melisa
HOW CAN I HELP YOU I have had to learn French, Italian, Spanish and English so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across. I know how to make people fluent. As a long-time learner, I will tailor sessions and give you all my tips to reach your requirements. I am a fully qualified private tutor with over nine years of teaching experience in both primary and secondary schools as well as companies. I also specialize in helping international business people to communicate in Italian. WHICH LANGUAGES YOU CAN IMPROVE I offer Italian lessons from beginners to advanced learners. I have spent most of my life studying languages and I am convinced the best way to learn is by making it fun with the right motivation. WHAT IS MY TEACHING METHOD My teaching methods are based on my practical experiences. I particularly work on early attainment of fluency. I will tailor sessions and give you tips as we learn to reach your requirements. Lessons will cover grammar, speech, reading and vocabulary. You will develop fluency in Italian in no time. I tailor each class to your needs. STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS My lessons consist of conversation and frequent interaction maximizing the use of the language studied. Tasks are based around practical modules such as ordering food at a restaurant. During each lesson, we will work on four different skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations. WHAT GOALS ARE YOU WANTING TO ACHIEVE? – Improving your listening and conversation skills – Explaining grammar rules – Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods – Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills MY PAST EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING I have taught Turkish, Spanish, English, French, and Italian to people from Europe, Canada, Russia, Iran, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, government executives, business owners, ambassadors, personal trainers, and architects... I also offered a range of translation services to notaries and various Consulates around the world. I have taught Business Italian to business professionals from France, Turkey and Canada. They achieved a confident, high-level of Business Italian.

My approach is built around practicing correct speech patterns in a progressive fashion so that when you are ready to have those conversations in a new language, those patterns will naturally express themselves since you have used them so many times before. You will be able to express yourself fluently in no time. I guarantee you that my language coaching will get you from zero to hero within the next 6 to 12 months. About the lesson Teaching and learning should be an enjoyable experience. This way you will get results quickly and efficiently. So, our classes are very flexible. I use energy, humor, and my personality to lighten things up. A lot of people have tried to learn Italian by studying grammar, reading books and watching Italian movies but still lack confidence and fluency when speaking. I have worked with students for the past 10 years. Most of my students initially felt that reaching fluency was impossible. When they came to me, they thought they were doing everything they could, but fluency always seemed beyond their reach. Language is a skill. Knowledge alone is not enough. Like learning to play the piano, it needs to be systematically trained in. Practice makes perfect in Italian Grammar!

Melisa is a good Spanish teacher and a very personable human being !! She brings a very fun, energetic, and organized lesson plan ! She is also really good when speaking Spanish and French, which make it easy to learn and understand. I really recommend her ! :)
Melisa is super helpful. We had to start from the beginning as I have no experience with French but she is very patient. I’m very excited to continue our lessons for as long as possible!
