''Engaged the class to speak to eachother in spanish. Was patient and provided options for retaining lessons learned.'' Sep 14 2007 ''Mely was particularly good at keeping me engaged. She very successfully moved through the structure of the lesson plans; however, I didn't feel so much like a student as I did someone catching up with an old friend! She made all of the lessons relevant to current situations.'' Sep 09 2007 ''Mely explains things very well, she is relaxed and gives encouragement.'' Sep 01 2007 ''Mely was very engaging in our conversations, was very personable and always was helpful and accepting when I struggled with words or pronunciations'' Aug 20 2007 ''Mely was very deliberate and precise. I loved her teaching style. She is warm and intelligent. Great teacher!'' Aug 18 2007 ''Mely made us feel comfortable and at ease, even if we misprononced words'' Jul 16 2007 ''Mely kept us on target - constantly in Spanish, constantly thinking and talking. I only said "about the same" above because all of my instructors have been excellent! I dropped out of the course early because I had to leave the country unexpectedly.'' Jul 13 2007 ''As always, Mely was great. We thought she did a great job using scenarios for us to practice medical terminologies while also [*] fun.'' Jul 04 2007 ''grammar explanations'' Jul 02 2007 ''Take into account the level of each student.'' Jul 02 2007 ''Mely was always focused and attentive to my efforts, organized, and very encouraging.'' Jun 17 2007 ''She managed the class well and was enthusiastic about us learning. She encouraged equal participation and helped out when a student was stuck or [*] difficulties.'' Jun 12 2007 ''Mely did a great job remembering all the things we talked about, so that it really felt like we were friends meeting for coffee and chatting, but with input from her side when it was needed.
She is also very patient and well-meaning when she listens to me, which is very important to me because I feel bad and get nervous when I think that I am annying someone by speaking slowly.
Another thing that is great about her, is her flexibility and really trying to accomodate my needs as best as she possibly can.
She is a great teacher with her attitude and knowledge and I'd love to take more classes with her. Unfortunately, I will leave the country soon and am traveling until then.'' Jun 09 2007 ''She used my specific daily activities as discussion topics which kept me interested.'' Jun 07 2007 ''Mely nearly always spoke to me in Spanish and explained difficult concepts by giving examples that were simple and clear. She also understood what I was interested in and made all of my activities interesting and engaging.'' May 31 2007 ''As you can see from my scores (all fives) that I think that Mely is the best. From the first lesson she has shown patience and humor in handling my mangling of the Spanish language. Mely told me in the first lesson that no matter what, I had to try or as she said trato, trato, trato - and I have. Our lessons are almost exclusively in Spanish. I can't think of a better way. When I've made mistakes that couldn't be remedied in Spanish she would regettably switch to English but once the point is made she switched back to Spanish. I only see Mely for two hours a week, but the lesson continues until the next time I see her. I read Spanish language newspapers and read Spanish language books, which we discuss in class. I listen to Spanish music everyday either from CDs which we share or on the radio. I even try to think in Spanish. That's the effect that Mely has had on me in regard to learning Spanish. Every class is fun and I look forward to sitting and speaking Spanish with Mely. I think that ultimately that is what a teacher is suppose to accomplish - Pride in learning and pride in the expression of what is learned.'' May 29 2007 ''Mely is an extremely patient instructor and explains concepts very well. She is a pleasure to meet with at all of our classes. She challenged us to continue to Speak Spanish, and not take the easy way out by speaking English when we were struggling. I strongly recommend her!'' May 29 2007 ''My tutor Mely was very patient and allowed me to use the lessons in the syllabus to practice. She was very fast in correcting me and encouraged me to continue speaking.
Alona Mays, Green Belt'' May 19 2007 ''Mely was very personable and caring. She was genuinely interested in the success of her students. She was adaptable to meeting in a more convenient location closer to [*] both students lived.'' May 10 2007 ''Mely is a great tutor, she is attentive, clear, does a great job of correcting me and structuring our time together.'' May 09 2007
