Hello, I'm Melissa! I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (cum laude) from Boston College and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University. Not only did I study STEM in school, but I also have a strong passion for it. Since I was in middle school, I was always interested in math and what I could do with it. In high school, I was one of the top students in my math classes, including AP Calculus BC, and knew I wanted to pursue it in college. After majoring in math at Boston College and getting some work experience, I wanted to expand on my love for the STEM field and went back to school to study mechanical engineering.

I tutored elementary school children in math while I was in high school and college and have always had a passion for helping others. As a math tutor, I treat every problem like a puzzle. I believe breaking down a problem into distinct steps and spending enough time solving each part is an important part of math and what I focus on in my tutoring sessions. Examples are the key to learning, especially in math, so my tutoring sessions are very example based. We will go through a few problems in depth before practicing more examples to make sure it is clear how the concepts apply to a variety of problems. All of these concepts can be applied to my specialities, which include Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus.

Throughout my educational and professional career, I've wanted to inspire others to love the STEM field as much as I do. I would love to work with students to not only help them improve their grades, but also to inspire them to be interested in this field. Please contact me with any questions or schedule a lesson. I would love to work with you!

Reviews

Knowledgeable, relatable, helpful!

My daughter needed some last-minute help with college calculus before her final exam. She was a little stuck in some areas and Melissa did a great job breaking things out for her very simply. She feels she did well on the material they reviewed and was more confident going into her exam. Thank you, Melissa!

Knowledgable Algebra Tutor

My daughter loves her instruction twice a week. Melissa is patient, joyful and flexible with booking changes (no cancellation fee) . She sends helpful notes with quick facts/formulas to study. A delight to work with and always eager to help. Couldn't be happier, I highly recommend her.

Initial meeting

She was patient and able to review current math struggles. My child got behind last year due to not having a consistent teacher. Looking forward working with her to improve my child’s grade gap.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

I learned about Pivot Tables. Melissa was patient, flexible and had an amazing price point. It was easy to get in to see her and she had me do all the work so I would retain what she taught. You are great at this, Melissa. Thank you so much for your time.
