About the Teachers




Melanie Kraft

Thanks for visiting our website.  Because my mother is Japanese, I have been interested and involved in ESL my entire life.  After graduating from the University of Michigan, I moved to Japan and was trained as an ESL teacher.  I taught English in Hiroshima to people of all ages, including school children, adults and businessmen.

Currently I am working as an ESL tutor at Oakland Community College and a teacher at ESL and More!  I have taught students from many countries around the world.  I'm looking forward to meeting you and having you join my classes.

Just like you, I understand the joys and difficulties of studying a foreign language as an adult.  I have lived in foreign countries without knowing the local language, and I understand how hard it can be.

I received my degree in Chinese Language and Civilization from Oakland University.  For more than 20 years, I have been assisting students and business people improve their English communication skills in the U.S., China and South America.

Currently I work at a local community college assisting students from all over the world with their academic English needs.  I continue to study Chinese and Spanish, which helps me understand the needs of the adult language learner.  It is my pleasure to join ESL and More! this year to work with their brilliant staff and students.
