Hello. My name is Melissa and I'm a 25 year veteran, specializing in both middle school math and specialized education.

My teaching methods involve connecting with the individual student through their interests and strengths. I encourage making mistakes and learning how to identify new ways of approaching challenges. Breaking down large amounts of information into smaller chunks and helping students to feel a sense of accomplishment is my specialty. Working with families to support the learner is key to success. Thank you for your interest and reach out if you have any questions or to schedule a tutoring session.
