Business English for international professionals
Private lessons, a small weekly group and reference books for people who already work in English, and want to sound like themselves in the meeting.
I bring a truly global perspective, having lived and worked for major companies across the English-speaking world, including Canada, the USA, the UK and Australia.
And my books come straight from my lessons. Each one is the answer to something my students around the world kept asking me for.
New book: Never Lost for Words
The contract held its own and the client noticed.
Idiom. Performed well under pressure without being spectacular.
One of 30 scales in the book. 1,500+ words and expressions, ranked from one end of the scale to the other, with 30 quizzes.
“The progress I made with her lessons was essential for my success in moving to Canada and building a career with a leading multinational bank.”
“It was only when I started studying with Melissa that I was finally able to overcome my fear and insecurity of ‘I don’t speak English’.”
“I believe that any student who has the chance to learn from Melissa is simply very lucky.”
My students use English at work in the USA, Canada, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Cyprus, Belarus, Russia, Cuba, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Before you book anything, see who you’d be working with: what we do together, who I love teaching, and what changes for my students.
Hi, I’m Melissa. For more than ten years I’ve helped professionals, from interview stage to C-level, sound as capable in English as they are in their own language.
