About Melissa

I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have a varied background in education and childcare: an interventionist for K-2nd grade students, a classroom teacher for 1st grade, a daycare provider, a substitute teacher, and a private tutor. I have also been teaching my own children in the home for 6 years. During my time in each of these roles, I taught children ranging in age from preschool to middle school. I enjoy working with children of all ages and my favorite part of teaching is watching understanding dawn on a child's face as he or she grasps a new concept. I feel fulfilled when my students grow by exploring new ideas, honing their skills, or comprehending a concept. I have experience helping children with reading, writing, and math remediation as well as working with high ability students. I am flexible, creative, responsible, friendly, and caring. I would love to meet your child and help him or her succeed academically!
