Since 2016, she has run her own private practice, coaching primary, secondary and international students one-to-one.

OUR MASCOT我们的吉祥物
Snowy is Ms. Melissa's bunny and the Mel's Academy mascot. She is cheerful, outgoing and very friendly, and loves to say hello to everyone who visits.Snowy 是 Melissa 老师的小兔子，也是 Mel's Academy 的吉祥物。她开朗活泼、非常友善，最喜欢跟每位来访的朋友打招呼。
Once she warms up to a place, her fun side comes out: she does zoomies around the room, dashing and hopping for joy. You may meet her at our home studio, where she makes even the quietest children open up and feel safe.一旦熟悉了环境，她俏皮的一面就会出现：在房间里飞奔绕圈，开心地蹦蹦跳跳。来到我们的工作室，您也许会遇见她。她总能让最安静的孩子也敞开心扉、感到安心。
Look out for her in our worksheets too. Snowy pops up in our stories, pictures and class activities, so keep an eye out for her!也请留意我们的练习！Snowy 会在我们的故事、插图和课堂活动中出现，记得找找她哦！
Reviews return at widening intervals, so phrases are revisited just as they begin to fade.复习的间隔逐步拉长，让词组在快要遗忘时再次出现。
Students recall and write phrases themselves, which builds memory far better than rereading.学生自己回想并写出词组，比反复阅读更能巩固记忆。
Every story, Insert and composition is paired with an original illustration, so words and pictures support each other.每个故事、阅读篇章与作文都配有原创插图，让文字与图像互相支持。
Phrases are taught whole and met again and again across stories, cloze and writing, the way fluent speakers learn them.词组以完整的形式教授，并在故事、完形填空和写作中反复出现，就像母语者学习语言的方式。

Lessons are psychologically informed, so writing becomes a way to reflect as well as to score.我们的故事触及孩子和青少年熟悉的感受：承认错误、被冷落、为朋友挺身而出、离开家、鼓起勇气。课程以心理学为依据，让写作不只是为了得分，也成为反思的方式。

Fun, beautifully designed 2-hour lessons with an engaging teaching experience.有趣、设计精美的两小时课程，带来投入的学习体验。
Every lesson comes as a full, printed workbook, written by Miss Melissa. Tap any page to see it up close.每堂课都配有一本完整的印刷练习册，由 Melissa 老师亲自编写。点击任何一页即可放大查看。
Scroll sideways to flip through the pages.左右滑动，翻阅更多页面。
Fluent writers do not build sentences one word at a time. They reach for ready-made phrases: collocations, phrasal verbs and idioms. So every lesson teaches up to ten of them, in context, with a definition, an example from the story and a hint about the slip students usually make.流畅的写作者不是一个字一个字地造句，而是运用现成的词组：固定搭配、短语动词和成语。因此每堂课在语境中教授最多十个词组，附上定义、故事中的例句，以及学生常犯错误的提示。
Grounded in the lexical approach (Lewis, 1993) and research on how learners store language in chunks (Nation, 2001).以词汇教学法（Lewis, 1993）及学习者以语块储存语言的研究（Nation, 2001）为依据。
Each phrase is met three ways, moving from knowing it to owning it.每个词组都以三种方式出现，从认识到真正掌握。
Choose the right phrase from four that all sound possible. Only the whole sentence settles it.从四个看似都合理的词组中选出正确的一个，只有读懂整个句子才能判断。
Fill a passage with no options to lean on. The phrase has to come from memory.在没有选项的短文中填空，词组必须凭记忆写出。
Write the reasoning around a phrase that is already printed. The logic is the hard part, and it is theirs.围绕已印好的词组写出前因后果。最难的是逻辑，而逻辑由学生自己完成。

Each gap is longer than the last. Spacing practice out, and asking learners to retrieve rather than reread, leads to far longer-lasting learning (Cepeda et al., 2006; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). Every phrase is tested exactly three times, and keeps appearing in stories and writing in between.每次的间隔都比上一次更长。把练习分散开来，并让学生主动回想而不是重读，能让学习效果更持久（Cepeda et al., 2006；Roediger & Karpicke, 2006）。每个词组正好测验三次，其间也会在故事和写作中不断出现。
Four of the six areas of language learning in the English Language Syllabus 2020.涵盖《2020 英文课程纲要》六大语言学习范畴中的四项。
Ten phrases a lesson, learnt in context and used in the student's own sentences.每堂课十个词组，在语境中学习，并用在学生自己的句子里。
Comprehension on the model story, including questions answered in the student's own words.针对范文故事的阅读理解，包括用自己的话作答的题目。
Synthesis and transformation, and cloze passages that test grammar inside real sentences.句子合并与改写，以及在真实句子中考查语法的完形填空。
Modelled compositions, planning on the Story Mountain, then the student's own writing.范文示范，在故事山上规划，然后由学生独立写作。

Every composition is modelled before students write. Strong writing is highlighted, and the technique behind it is named in the margin: show, not tell; a simile; an emotional gradient.学生动笔之前，每篇作文都先有范文示范。精彩的句子会被标出，背后的技巧写在页边：展示而非叙述、明喻、情绪的层层推进。
Then students plan their own on the Story Mountain, with the day's phrases already waiting in each box.接着，学生在故事山上规划自己的作文，当天的词组已经放在每个格子里等着他们使用。
The model composition范文
The Story Mountain故事山
Many students come to believe that good composition means sophisticated vocabulary, so they choose words that sound advanced rather than words that fit. We work on the skills underneath:许多学生以为好作文就是要用高深的词汇，于是挑选听起来厉害、却不一定合适的词语。我们着重培养背后的基本功：
Rather than simply correcting each composition, we build the skills underneath, so students gradually learn to recognise and fix these issues themselves, and grow more confident and independent in their writing.我们不只是批改每篇作文，而是培养背后的能力，让学生逐渐学会自己发现并解决这些问题，在写作上变得更自信、更独立。
Every fourth lesson is situational writing, laid out like the PSLE paper: a picture stimulus, a clear task and five key points to cover.每四堂课中就有一堂情景写作，版面与 PSLE 试卷一致：图片材料、清晰的任务，以及五个必须涵盖的要点。
A marked-up model shows exactly which few words earn each mark, so students see what an examiner looks for.标注过的范文清楚显示哪几个字能拿到分数，让学生明白考官在看什么。
Marked for Task Fulfilment and for Language and Organisation, as in the exam.按照考试标准，从“任务完成”和“语言与组织”两方面评分。
From October, worksheets can be printed in full colour and bound into booklets your child keeps.从十月起，练习可以全彩印刷并装订成册，让孩子长久保存。
Soft watercolour pictures made for Mel's Academy, headings and key phrases picked out in colour so they are easier to follow, and a white glossy cover with a clear plastic sleeve and a space for your child's name.专为 Mel's Academy 绘制的柔和水彩插图，标题和重点词组以颜色标示，更容易跟上；白色亮面封面配透明保护套，并留有写上孩子名字的位置。

The Relay Team: feeling left out, envyThe Relay Team：被冷落、嫉妒
Naming mixed emotions.说出复杂的情绪。 Around this age children begin to understand that two feelings can exist at once, such as pride and jealousy (Harter & Buddin, 1987).这个年龄的孩子开始明白两种感受可以同时存在，例如骄傲与嫉妒（Harter & Buddin, 1987）。
My Father's Watch: a loss, and staying calmMy Father's Watch：失去之后保持冷静
Calming down by rethinking.换个角度，平复情绪。 Looking at a problem a new way is one of the most effective ways to regulate strong feelings (Gross, 1998).从新的角度看问题，是调节强烈情绪最有效的方法之一（Gross, 1998）。
Standing up for someone at the canal在运河边为别人挺身而出
Seeing both sides.看见双方的立场。 From about 10, children can step back and see a situation from each person's point of view (Selman, 1980).大约从十岁起，孩子能够退一步，从每个人的角度看待同一件事（Selman, 1980）。
The Borrowed Notebook: a quarrel, then making upThe Borrowed Notebook：争吵，然后和好
Checking before blaming.先弄清楚，再下判断。 Children who stop to check what really happened, instead of assuming the worst, handle conflict far better (Crick & Dodge, 1994).懂得先停下来了解真相、而不是往最坏处想的孩子，更善于处理冲突（Crick & Dodge, 1994）。
Owning up, and making amends承认错误，并作出弥补
Healthy guilt, not shame.健康的内疚，而不是羞耻。 Guilt about what we did, rather than shame about who we are, leads children to own up and put things right (Tangney & Dearing, 2002).为“做了什么”感到内疚，而不是为“我是谁”感到羞耻，能引导孩子承认错误并加以弥补（Tangney & Dearing, 2002）。
Confidence through small wins.在小小的成功中建立自信。 At 6 to 12, children build a sense of competence through tasks they can master (Erikson, 1963), so every worksheet moves from guided to independent work.6 至 12 岁的孩子通过能够掌握的任务建立胜任感（Erikson, 1963），因此每份练习都从引导逐步走向独立完成。

Reflection questions after every reading每篇阅读后的反思题

Rethinking, not bottling up.重新思考，而不是压抑。 Reframing a situation calms strong feelings; simply hiding them does not (Gross, 1998).换个角度看待事情能平复强烈的情绪，单纯隐藏情绪则不能（Gross, 1998）。

Seeing the bigger picture.看见更大的图景。 Teenagers can weigh several viewpoints at once, including a whole community's (Selman, 1980).青少年能够同时权衡多种观点，包括整个群体的观点（Selman, 1980）。
