About Melina

I can provide a more in depth profile on my history of working with children and recommendations upon request. I have worked with children practically my entire life. I just started my 7th year of teaching. I have taught 5th grade (all subject areas), special education as a resource teacher, and I am currently the teacher for my school's Comprehensive Development Classroom. As the CDC teacher, I work with students with severe and profound disabilities. I have a bachelor's in Elementary Education and a master's in Special Education with a focus on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders. I have worked with children ages newborn - 14 years old with a wide variety of abilities. In my free time, I love to read, do arts & craft projects, and travel. I am considering going back to school to get a second masters of education in vision impairment, and I am currently taking classes for American Sign Language. My rates depend on what type of service you are looking for!
