Melissa

I bring over 7 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English to individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, including refugees, international students, and young learners. My teaching approach is student-centered, trauma-informed, and adaptable to various learning styles, with a strong focus on confidence-building and language accessibility. I have provided both one-on-one and group lessons, created customized lesson plans, supported language assessment, and incorporated conversational practice to help learners improve fluency and comprehension. My multilingual abilities (English, Russian, German) and background in medicine, education, and community engagement allow me to connect meaningfully with students and create a supportive, inclusive learning environment.
