About Mel
Hi, I’m Melissa.
I’ve spent many years teaching Photoshop and Illustrator to students from different backgrounds, and I understand how confusing these tools can feel at the start. My approach is to simplify things and guide you step-by-step, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
I focus on helping you understand both the tools and the design thinking behind them, so you can apply what you learn to your own projects.
I’m approachable, patient, and I believe learning should feel manageable and rewarding — not stressful.

I have known Mel for a very long time, since our student days, and I can confidently say she embodies the qualities of a true Superprof. Her passion for art is unmatched, and she consistently goes the extra mile to ensure her students not only learn but truly understand. While she is meticulous and punctual—qualities that set a strong foundation for discipline—she balances this with warmth, cooperation, and genuine care for her students.
What I admire most about Mel’s teaching style is her ability to explain concepts clearly and patiently, making even complex ideas accessible. She is strict when needed, but always in a loving and supportive way that motivates rather than intimidates.
Although Mel has not taught me directly, I have witnessed her giving lessons and sharing her knowledge with others. She is generous with her time and expertise, never selfish, and always eager to help others grow. Watching her guide students with such dedication has been inspiring, and it reaffirms my belief that she is an exceptional mentor.
Mel’s combination of passion, discipline, and kindness makes her a remarkable teacher who instills confidence in her students and helps them reach their full potential.. We know each other as a College Student & Lecturer
. I like one of her teaching way where if you don't know the way of using or doesnt understand the technique (Expecially Photoshop and Illustration) Ms Mel will step by step slowly guide us
. I remember during my first join College and was my first time using Adobe Illustrator, there is some part Im not really understand so I do find her for consultation and was very well. Sometimes I also wait outside office for consultation of my assignment (But Ofc when she is free) then can check progress while learn extra technique during the timeI have had the pleasure of knowing Mel for over six years, both as a close friend and as a fellow artist. What truly sets Mel apart as a teacher is her balanced approach to both theory and practice. She doesn’t just show you how to paint—she helps you understand why techniques work, building a strong foundation while encouraging creative exploration. We’ve also participated in several art exhibitions together, and I’ve seen firsthand how committed she is to her craft. I wholeheartedly recommend Mel as a Superprof. Any student learning from her will not only gain technical skills but also develop a deeper appreciation for watercolour as an expressive medium.
Melissa is a dedicated and thoughtful teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ growth. I know her through working together, and I’ve seen firsthand how committed she is to guiding students step by step, always ensuring they truly understand what they are learning.
What stands out most about her teaching style is how she works closely with her students, not just instructing but supporting them hand in hand. She doesn’t just focus on academics—she thinks deeply about what will benefit them in the long run, helping them build confidence, real-world awareness, and the skills needed to navigate today’s fast-changing world.
From my experience with her, Melissa consistently goes the extra mile to make sure her students are not only learning but also prepared for life beyond the classroom. She is the kind of teacher who leaves a lasting impact.Me and Mel know each other for 23 years.. when both of us are 18 years old . We were classmates .I was the quiet one whereas she is the chirpy, outgoing. She approached me and immediately introduced herself and from then on our friendship starts . Mel is a person who genuinely uplifts others. The kind of person who celebrates others’ success as their own.. e inspires students through her dedication, patience, and genuine care. She believes in every student’s potential and goes the extra mile to help them succeed, making a lasting impact on their lives.
