I have several years of experience teaching in language schools and online. In our class, each lesson is personalized for the individual, with clear objectives tailored to the goals of each student. I will guide you rather than lecturing you. You will have opportunities to correct your own mistakes and you can also practice any language points you want with practical examples and exercises. We will begin with an assessment to figure out your level in the first lesson. And then we will design a personalized plan to move forward based on your needs and goals. My lessons will focus on learning new vocabulary, correcting tones while providing helpful corrections in a comfortable environment.

Excellent class. I learn so much vocabulary in Melissa’s class. Melissa helps me become confident because she gives me more words to express my thoughts. Every class is interesting and different because we cover many useful topics that I can use in my daily life. After class I always copy the characters and pinyin she gives me because it helps me retain the vocabulary. I highly recommend Melissa as a teacher. She is also helping my husband and he is becoming so much better in his speaking.

Melissa makes very efficient use of lesson time. I just had a 30-minute lesson with her so she could see what level my Chinese is and she still managed to squeeze a vocabulary lesson into that short time. Her English level is very high, so she has no trouble understanding you if you need to say something in English. But she's a good teacher because she still speaks Chinese even when you as the student drift into English. She keeps you feeling like you are immersed in a Chinese conversation, so your brain won't revert back to English thinking and lose the Chinese state of mind.

I had a wonderful class! What matters for me is speaking practice and that's what we did for the whole hour. I highly recommend taking Melissa's class!

I'm very grateful for each lesson with Melissa. Each class is filled with enjoyable and interesting opportunities to learn and practice. Using a mix of structured and unstructured activities that challenge my listening, speaking, and reading skills, Melissa's classes make learning Chinese fresh and fun. Thank you!
