Hello! My name is Melissa, and I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Special Education while continuing my studies in education and behavioral sciences. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). My education and professional training have provided me with a strong foundation in child development, learning, behavior, and evidence-based teaching practices. I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities, and I enjoy helping students build confidence while reaching their academic goals.
As a Registered Behavior Technician, I have worked one-on-one with children to support the development of academic, communication, social, and problem-solving skills using individualized, evidence-based strategies. This experience has taught me the importance of meeting each student where they are and adapting instruction to their unique learning style and pace. Whether a student needs help strengthening foundational skills, completing assignments, or improving study habits, I strive to create a positive, supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and celebrating their progress.
My goal as a tutor is to help students become confident, independent learners while making learning engaging and enjoyable. I believe patience, consistency, and encouragement are essential for student success, and I am committed to building meaningful relationships with both students and their families. I look forward to helping each student reach their full potential and develop the confidence they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
