Made by a teacher

From one MFL department to another.

THE MELT SOCIETY is written by Jack, a fully qualified MFL teacher, University of Oxford trained, who has worked in and helped run MFL departments. He knows how tight budgets get and how quickly printing and resources add up. So MELT keeps it simple: one licence, print as many copies as you need, for every class and every student. No per-copy fees, no fiddly limits.

“
I've sat in the budget meetings. I built MELT so you can print what your students need, without massive overheads, from the convenience of your own reprographics room.

Jack, founder

The team: Jack, founder and teacher, with Rupert, business and operations, and Mia, everything else.
