About Melissa

Learning is an adventure, and I'm excited to be your guide! With a graduate degree and more than 25 years of teaching experience, I focus on building confidence and a love for learning. I empower students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills for long-term success. I actively listen and observe to assess your individual learning style, varying my teaching strategies with visual aids, hands-on activities, and discussions. I connect challenging topics to real-world examples, breaking down complex problems into manageable steps. Open communication is key; regular updates keep everyone informed. Witnessing a student's "aha!" moment is the most rewarding part of tutoring. I have a car and am comfortable with pets, so let's find a location that works best for you! I can tutor elementary through college-level students. Let's work together to achieve your goals!
