• My teaching approach focuses on building confidence through natural conversation, real life language use, and personalised learning tailored to each student’s goals.
• I use a supportive, interactive style that encourages speaking from the very beginning, with a strong focus on practical everyday English, informal spoken English used in the UK, slang and natural expressions, and helping learners understand idioms and how English is really spoken in real life.
• Lessons typically last between 30 - 60 minutes, allowing enough time for warm up activities, focused learning, speaking practice, and a short review to consolidate progress.
• I am a qualified ESL tutor with 6 years’ experience, specialising in helping learners build confidence in spoken English. I also have experience supporting learners with special education needs and bring a broad cultural understanding from extensive international travel.
• Lessons are suitable for children, teenagers and adults of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners, whether they are learning English for daily life, work, travel, or confidence building in conversation.
• I also have experience teaching early education learners, with a strong focus on phonics, early reading skills, and foundational English development, supporting children to build confidence in sounds, words, and basic communication.

Teacher Malissa teaches English in a fun and easy-to-understand way, encouraging students to speak and express themselves more confidently.
The learning atmosphere is friendly, helping students feel relaxed and not pressured.
The instructors are dedicated and use a variety of activities to practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Students gain experience communicating directly with native speakers, which helps build their confidence.
This is a beneficial and inspiring activity that motivates students to learn English more.I’ve worked with Melissa for years and know her to be a fantastic teacher. She is a warm and easy going person who’s perceptive enough to really tailor sessions based on how people learn best. Melissa is also great at showing her own interest in subjects and has been very encouraging for me when I’ve struggled with confidence in some areas. Honestly - such a cool and engaging person, I’d recommend her to anyone regardless of age or level and I’ll miss our weekly sessions!
I met Melissa in Bangkok when she was volunteering as a teacher at my school. I really admire how understanding she is with kids and how kind and fun her teaching activities are.
We once worked together on a project for the school, and it was great seeing how she made learning exciting for everyone. She's a fantastic teacher who truly cares about her students ️I had the honor of working with Melissa while volunteering in Thailand. She is a genuine and warm person, the kind who makes people around her feel seen, valued and encouraged. She brings energy to everyone who’s around her and radiates trust and patience from the moment you meet her. She naturally adapts her guidance to each student’s level, making learning challenging but reachable. I honestly can’t think of a better person teaching.
I worked with Melissa in several learning environments working with students of all ages and learning abilities. Her approach to learning is excellent, adaptive, patient, and most of all fun! An absolute joy to work with and be around and I highly recommend her as a tutor and education professional.
Hi everyone
I'm a coach in Thailand. I support her for you. She is a very nice teacher and can help students learn English easily, from basic to advanced. Believe me.
I always practice speaking with her when I meet her at the hotel and café.I worked with Melissa teaching English in Thailand. She really knows how to engage students in her lessons and is able to pinpoint what needs working on. She creates new games and activities to help the students learn. Working with her helped me gain experience and gave me many new ideas for how to engage with students.
I’ve known Melissa since we volunteered together in Bangkok, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough!
We were working on initiatives to help Thai students boost their confidence in speaking English, and Melissa was an absolute natural at it. She has this incredible gift for taking people who might be a little nervous or shy and turning the whole experience into something fun, engaging, and memorable.
What really sets her apart is her kindness and compassion; she helps me teach the children with such warmth and patience that every kid feels seen, supported, and ready to do their best.
If you’re looking for a teacher who doesn’t just teach but truly inspires a love for learning with real heart and care, I can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa has been absolutely wonderful with our son. He has special needs and can often find new situations overwhelming, but Melissa made him feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning. Our son responds much better to online learning, and she was more than happy to accommodate this, which made such a positive difference for him.
What really stands out is how creative and patient Melissa is. She took the time to understand our son’s individual needs and tailored her lessons to suit his communication style and learning pace. We’ve seen a real improvement in his communication skills and, most importantly, his confidence.
Melissa is warm, encouraging, and genuinely cares about her students’ progress. We are so grateful for the support she has given our son and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated and compassionate tutor.Melissa is one of the most patient, dedicated teachers I know.
She is able to pitch a lesson at whatever level is needed and is always on hand to answer questions whenever needed.
Her calm and relaxed approach is welcoming, but she will keep the group on task if things start to drift.
I can't recommend her enough.Melissa is my big sister, and I have always known her to be friendly, supportive, and very professional. She has a very patient and encouraging way of teaching, and she explains things clearly in a way that makes learning feel comfortable and enjoyable. She even helped teach me how to drive, which showed me how calm, understanding, and supportive she is when helping someone learn something new. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to improve their English in a positive and encouraging environment.
