About Melissa


Bio

Hello! I'm Missy. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Education in August 1998. Since then, I've had the pleasure of teaching both general education students and those with special needs, specifically those aged 4 to 14 years cognitively. My job required me to be certified to teach all subjects from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Additionally, I've also homeschooled two of my children.

Hello! I'm Missy. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Education in August 1998. Since then, I've had the pleasure of teaching both general education students and those with special needs, specifically those aged 4 to 14 years cognitively. My job required me to be certified to teach all subjects from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Additionally, I've also homeschooled two of my children.
As a teacher, my primary aim is to help my students learn so they can reach their desired goals. My teaching journey started in 1998 when I worked as a special needs teacher. In 2003, I transitioned to teaching general education students in addition to students with special needs. Since April 2017, I have been providing online tutoring for students with varying abilities..

I am excited to meet many amazing new students. Please feel free to reach out when you're ready for an enjoyable and educational class.

Melissa- Rated A+ Tutor

Melissa teaches my son 2nd Grade Reading and Writing and Multiplication. She is amazing!!!! We started working with her mid to late -summer and I saw a significant difference in my son's reading abilities by the time September came. I would highly recommend her!!

Perfect match for my ADHD’er

Melissa has been an incredible asset to our family. My 10-year-old always enjoys working with her, especially during breaks when she can reconnect with her tutor. Thanks to Melissa, my daughter's homework evenings are now stress-free, and she leaves feeling confident in her 6th grade math skills. She no longer fears tackling challenging math topics.

Very patient!

My son had a hard time understanding science related concepts and was not doing well in his class. Melissa has been very patient and helpful. She breaks things down to their basics so that my son can understand. She is also very flexible when I ask for last minute extra help. We are grateful to have found Melissa!

Good with children

Melissa was patient with my 10 year old daughter. Melissa met with me with an overview after the lesson with my daughter. I was very impressed with how she did everything overall. I would recommend her to tutor me or my daughter.
