Melissa Smith

I’m originally from South Africa and I’ve spent many years helping people reach their goals, and teaching English has become one of my favourite ways to do that! I love spending time with my wonderful family when I'm not teaching—they keep me busy and always entertained! I enjoy reading, cooking, and outdoor activities in my free time. I’m also really passionate about learning new things, whether it’s exploring technology or discovering new recipes. I’ve taught at various schools in and around my suburb in Cape Town, with over ten years of classroom experience teaching students of varying ages. I hold a university degree and I’m TEFL certified. I’m passionate about helping my students grow, and I’m here to make learning English an enjoyable experience for all my students. In my lessons, I focus on communication in real-life situations, completing meaningful tasks, and using repetition and drills to reinforce learning. I also tailor my lessons to your needs and interests, making sure to balance accuracy and fluency to help you gain confidence in using English.
