Melissa is very friendly, trusting, open, and positive with a great sense of humor. She is a very good teacher and her lessons were really fun! During her time with us she focused on computer training, teaching our students about composting our kitchen waste and environmental awareness.
Thank you, Melissa and good luck on your further journey!

Melissa was with us for 2 months. During that time she worked mainly on reception where she would answer phones, emails and deal with the guests face to face. Even though English is not her first language she worked well with the guests. One of her reasons for coming to Cape Town was to improve her English which she did do.
