TESTIMONIAL
Roland wrote on September 15, 2020
I was looking for an English teacher. I found Deborah Meli on the internet and wrote to her. The decision to take private lessons with Deborah was the right one. Deborah is responsive to my needs. She is very competent. The subject matter is entertaining and varied. She recognizes my weaknesses and strengths and thus builds up sustainable lessons. It’s a pleasure. Roland

Debbie’s English lessons are very varied and individually adapted to the current level of knowledge. The good mixture of “support and challenge” and the relaxed atmosphere contribute greatly to learning success. I can only recommend English lessons with Debbie, it’s worth it!

I’m sorry, I can only speak a little English… I want to change that now. In Deborah I have found a teacher who motivates me and often makes me laugh. This makes learning fun. Where can you find a language school that adapts exactly to the needs of the student? Deborah makes it possible. Catherine

Debbie convinced me right from the start: she is very flexible and responds optimally to the current status and needs. The lessons are varied and funny, I really learned a lot!
“Without English, you have a hard time in life. As someone in my mid-forties, I can certainly confirm this. But especially at this age, it is harder to find the time, the energy and the understanding. That’s why it was important for me to find someone who does not only teach me the basics of English, but also mainly adapts to my speed and ability, consistently increases and improves it. It’s just like raising children, frustration, stagnation, repetition, and also success is all so close at hand. With Deborah, you have a partner who understands the situations, gives security, can motivate, challenge and encourage, and is an excellent interpersonal person.” -Stephan
“English with Debbie: The lessons are individually designed by her so that you can achieve quick success. In addition to her open and cheerful nature, she convinces with competence and patience, which is very important for me. I always look forward to my lessons with her, despite the long journey of 1 hour.” – Marlene
“I’ve been taking English classes with Deborah for a year. Due to her cheerful but nevertheless consistent way of doing things, the lessons are always very interesting. I’m making steady progress and will be able to test it soon. I always look forward to the lessons.” – Ernst
“The English lessons are very varied and I’m making very fast progress” – Sonja
“The lessons with Debbie is always fun and interesting. She always makes it exciting and we learned so many things. It was really fun learning English with her. Many thanks!” – Margit & Roman
“Debbie makes English fun and enjoyable. She is flexible, competent and understanding. She manages to make the lessons individual and personal. I always enjoy going to her classes. I would definitely recommend her to others.” – Maria-Fe
“With little knowledge of the English language, I started the course with Deborah. Deborah adapted the pace of learning to my skills and abilities and prepared the appropriate teaching materials. I need English mainly for my travels around the world. After just the first few lessons, she was able to teach me so much that I could easily communicate in foreign countries. She did not only teach me the language, but also gave me a lot of additional information. The price / performance ratio is unbeatable. I highly recommend Deborah’s private course.” – Arianna
ABOUT ME
DETERMINED | MOTIVATED | DEDICATED
Hello, I’m Deborah, and my native language is English. I’m a certified English teacher (University of Cambridge, ESOL), Global Business English teacher (Bridge Education Group, TEFL/TESOL), and I also hold diplomas in the German language. I discovered my passion for teaching in 2001 and have made it my profession since 2012.
I have been teaching students/people of all ages and levels, and sometimes when time permits, I also teach abroad. I enjoy assisting students in improving their writing and grammar skills, as well as their confidence in spoken English.
As a freelance translator, various companies, as well as private individuals, have gained from my expertise here and overseas. The confidentiality of all documents and data is one of my priorities during and after the translation process.
Apart from teaching, I do karate and also have a passion for outdoor sports like biking, jogging, and scuba diving.
And of course, after burning calories, I love to refill with vanilla ice cream.
“Learning foreign language is fun and interactive, but only with the right teacher and medium.”
