About Melissa

For over 10 years, I've been helping students unlock their full potential through personalized tutoring. I focus on building confidence and a genuine love for learning, not just memorization. I tailor my approach to each student's unique learning style by listening, observing, and adapting my teaching strategies with visual aids, hands-on activities, discussions, and practice problems. I keep students motivated by connecting challenging topics to real-world examples, celebrating small successes, and breaking down complex problems into manageable steps. Communication is key. I provide regular updates to parents to foster a collaborative environment. Witnessing a student's "aha!" moment and seeing their confidence soar is incredibly rewarding. I am comfortable tutoring at your home, online, at the library, a community center, or a coffee shop. I am certified in CPR and First Aid.
