About Melissa

My name is Melissa and I am an elementary school teacher. I live in Portland, Maine and I am looking for in person or virtual tutoring positions with K-6 students. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in reading. This is my ninth year of teaching. I have experience with all elementary grade levels. Being an educator I have a strong understanding of the developmental stages of children and their needs. I am skilled in meeting students' needs, building relationships, and monitoring their progress. Outside of the classroom, I have worked for many families as a tutor, sitter, and nanny. I have many years of experience with children ages 1-12 in camp, daycare, preschool, elementary, and child care settings. I am interested in reading, being outdoors, arts and crafts, sports, and playing board games. I am reliable, patient, and organized. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to know more.
