“Melissa, my English teacher, whom I met for the first time as a student over 50 years old, always leads me in a comfortable atmosphere to learn English. Despite her young age, she has knowledge in many fields, and I learn a lot from her during our conversations. Observing her diligent practice in Taekwondo and her consistently challenging demeanour, I've come to think of her as a teacher overflowing with positive energy.

“Melissa is passionate in teaching, she teaches me on how to write formal and informal emails which helped me to have a better understanding of email writings. She reviewed some of the business emails I sent and guided me on how to improve it. She also prepared useful materials for grammar and vocabulary learning which makes the lesson less tedious. Now I am more confident to use English words which I rarely use in my daily life. I love the way she teaches and I will continue the English learning journey with her.” - Singapore
