****************************
I am focused on the importance of education at every level and dedicated, specifically, to helping and motivating others to improve and perfect their fluency and mastery of the English language. After completing my B.A. in English at Creighton University I moved to London, England to pursue a master's degree in Creative Writing. I spent two years studying as well as tutoring English to school children and ESL to adults. I am a results-oriented educator with exceptional written and verbal communication skills. I patiently encourage learning at a pace that is comfortable yet challenging for the individual student.

Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly tutor

Melinda taught me how to prepare a research paper. She also showed me how to create an outline and how to cite a paper using the Chicago style. If I run into any problems with future papers, I won't hesitate to request her help.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Melinda tutored my homeschool senior son (dual enrolled at MCC) in English Composition 2, this past year, and she did a fabulous job. Melinda took the time to really get to know my son and understand his challenges. Together, they came up with an excellent plan for my son to implement, on his own, but with her excellent encouragement, feedback and helpful accountability. My son completed the English Composition 2 class with an A! Melinda really helped my son improve his writing skills and increase his confidence.

Very patient

Working with Melinda has made my son excited to learn. After the first lesson we have noticed an increase in his confidence and a new enjoyment of books. She sat with us to find out our goals and we love that she sits down with us after every lesson to review his progress. I would highly recommend!
