Melissa is great teacher. She is kind, so I can relax around her. I was having a difficult time understanding English with my poor vocabulary. She taught me many new words and American idioms. I believe that I need more basic skills, but now I know how to express my feelings. It's big progress for me!

I've only had 3 tutoring sessions with Melissa so far, and inasmuch as I have never worked with a tutor before either, these comments may be a bit premature. Having said that, I feel the sessions have been above expectations. As an adult learner, I am anxious, out of practice, and easily frustrated, but Melissa has done a great job keeping me reined in and on task. I was expecting vocabulary, and got grammar, which is, of course, the correct way to approach a new language initially. Melissa is experienced, thoughtful, and very supportive, and always comes prepared, with new ideas and resources. Melissa also leaves time to respond to questions I have, mostly from things I didn't process from the week before (did I say adult learner?), as constant review is a good thing and I need it. I am planning on working with her for as long as it takes to meet my goal of competently speaking the Spanish language.
