About Melissa

I have over 18 years of educational experience. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics education and masters in literacy instruction. Additionally, I received my Orton-Gillingham certification. Across the east coast, I have worked as a General and Special Education teacher. As a Special Education teacher, I have mentored other educators, led leadership teams and coordinated staff development workshops for educators. I have also tutored students in Pre-K through 12th grade in a private learning center and through in-home environments. My educational methods focus on praise and positive reinforcement. My teaching approach incorporates hands-on learning methods that foster a strong understanding of academic content while building confidence.
