An educator with a global perspective.

I'm Melissa (Mel) Stansfield — an Australian educator helping professionals communicate naturally and effectively in English.

Mel Stansfield, founder of Verba Global

With over ten years of teaching experience across Australia and the United Kingdom, I've worked with learners at every stage — from nervous beginners to executives preparing for international roles.

My approach is personalised, engaging, practical and confidence-focused. I help students communicate naturally in professional, academic and everyday situations.

My background in education, leadership and international travel gives me a strong understanding of cross-cultural communication — and what it takes to feel at home in another language.
