About

I am committed to academic excellence by providing quality education to my students through engaging, multi-sensory lessons that nurture critical thinking and problem solving skills. I believe in empowering all students to realize their full academic potential. In addition, I specialize in providing individualized lessons designed to meet students’ needs. I have many years of experience and a proven track record of accelerating learning.

What I enjoy most about tutoring is making connections with students and their families. However, making learning easier and more enjoyable for students is always my top priority!

    “Mrs. Melissa has made all the difference in my child’s ability to succeed at school. Her bright attitude coupled with an individualized curriculum that uses games and fun to learn has led my child to be one of the strongest students in his class. Furthermore, he has gained a
    tremendous sense of confidence that has permeated into other areas of his life. We couldn’t be happier with his progress!

    “Melissa tutored my now 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter, and 7 year old son for close to 4 years. She was wonderful and worked well with each child. She taught them fun ways to work through math problems and reading comprehension. My kids loved her and really enjoyed the learning process.
    I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to
    enhance the schooling experience with someone who truly enjoys working with children. She is one of a kind!”

    Frequently asked questions

    Our first session usually starts with an informal evaluation to determine what students need most to succeed.

    Many of our one-on-one sessions for younger students include learning games that make lessons fun! In addition, the use of  multi-sensory activities promotes retention. 

    For our older students, we are proud to say that we have patient, caring teachers who have expertise in all areas! Lessons are individualized to meet the needs of each student and one-on-one sessions ensure that students get the teacher's undivided attention.
