About Melina

Hi, my name is Melina, I am a recent college graduate with a Biology degree and am preparing to apply to dental school. I am a dedicated and patient tutor with a strong academic background and a genuine passion for helping students gain confidence in their learning. I have experience providing private math tutoring for grade-school students, with a focus on skill reinforcement, and individualized support. At the university level, I worked as a peer tutor in biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry, where I helped students strengthen their conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. I have volunteered weekly for the past two years in a literacy program, supporting children as they develop foundational reading. I am highly flexible with subject matter and tailor my teaching approach to each student's learning style, pace, and goals. I value open communication and enjoy working closely with parents to monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.
