English for Academic and Professional Development
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Melanie, an experienced, dependable and creative freelance writer, journalist, and English instructor. I have a master’s degree in adult education, with an emphasis on teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), plus Cambridge CELTA teaching certification: Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults.
I have more than 20 years experience teaching a multi-cultural range of adults, from teens through seniors, with extensive experience teaching international professionals. I have worked with students from around the world, including people from every country in Europe, throughout Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean.
I also work with native English speakers on a variety of language skill areas for academic and professional growth, such as academic reading and writing, vocabulary building, business writing and communication, presentation skills and related proficiencies.
Lessons are geared to student needs as I can follow your existing curriculum or create my own lessons; I teach and tutor all skill sets: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, listening, reading and writing.
"Ms. Graysmith is without doubt a fantastic teacher; I enjoyed her classes and learned a lot from her.
She is very experienced, extremely organized, creative and reliable. She is a very compassionate person
and a professional writer... and inspires me in many different ways."
