Hi there! I'm Melody Nakibae, a 23-year-old female from the tiny island of Tuvalu, though I was born in New Zealand. I'm fluent in both English and Tuvaluan, my love for the outdoors, music, and spending time with my family has greatly influenced my passion for teaching. My teaching style is student-centered, where I prioritize understanding each learner's needs and adapting lessons to suit their style, whether through engagin hands-on activities or intergrating music and outdoor learning experiences. I employ a methodology that combines communicative teaching with task=based learning, ensuring student gain real-world language skills while having fun. As a result, my students see significant improvement in their confidence, fluency, and communication skills, whether for academic purposes or everyday conversations.
