I’m Melanie – a qualified English teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience at top international schools including Dubai College, St Julian’s in Lisbon, and St George’s in Düsseldorf. IGCSE

Having worked with Melanie as a teacher myself, I can attest that she is a brilliant, knowledgeable and committed tutor, who secures excellent outcomes for her students. She works hard to ensure students develop a deep understanding of and interest in the content, helping them to make real progress. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

I worked with Melanie in Germany where we ran the English Department together. Melanie was a beloved English teacher to both colleagues and students from year 7 through to year 13. She always injected fun into the lessons she designed and brought out the best in students. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and cares deeply about the progress and well-being of her students. Even though she left our school a few years ago, many of the students still work with her through tutoring. You’ll be lucky to have Melanie as a tutor.

Mel is a fantastic tutor, and I highly recommend working with her! She's very patient and helpful and makes sure that every lesson is engaging!

I’m not really sure where to start with how amazing Melanie has been in the lead up to my son’s GCSE’s. She has, due to some unforeseen circumstances, practically taught him the entire AQA literature and language syllabus in a matter of months. She’s been unwaveringly patient and kind. Reassuring him every step of the way. She has taken what was an overwhelming amount of content, broken it down and communicated it so clearly. Teaching content, technique and working on his confidence all the while. It’s been a massive undertaking and she has managed it all, sensitively identifying areas needing particular focus, managing what to focus on when and always being mindful of how to best use every single second. She is always prepared, genuinely cares and most important of all has filled him with confidence and belief that he can succeed.

I would not hesitate to recommend Melanie to anyone who is thinking about hiring an English tutor. She is professional, extremely well qualified and knowledgeable. Melanie will make your child feel very relaxed about learning and building their confidence in English and of course this confidence often flows over into other subjects as their reading and comprehension improves. We have seen grades greatly improve, our son has built a great rapport with Melanie over these years and the results speak for themselves. We are very grateful. Thoroughly recommended
