About Melissa

With more than 20 years of experience in education, I am passionate about helping students build confidence, overcome learning challenges, and reach their full potential. My expertise includes the Science of Reading, writing instruction, and special education, with a strong belief that every child can succeed when given the right tools, support, and encouragement. I believe that communication and collaboration are the foundation of student success. Every child learns differently, which is why I focus on identifying individual strengths and creating engaging, personalized learning experiences that meet students where they are. I begin each tutoring relationship with research-based assessments that help pinpoint specific areas of need, allowing me to develop targeted instruction that produces meaningful growth. Together, we can build on strengths, overcome obstacles, and foster a lifelong love of learning.
