I am Melissa D. I have my bachelors in Secondary Mathematics Education. I also completed 2 years of a biochemistry degree and 2 years of a mechanical engineering degree before I realized that Math education is where my true passion is. I discovered that I much rather enjoyed doing the bookwork and the math rather than the hands on skills required for labs. I frequently tutored my fellow classmates and found that I enjoyed helping them succeed, and switched to an education degree where I could continue teaching subjects I am passionate about.
I have taught subjects ranging from 8th grade math all the way up to calculus in the traditional classroom setting, but I have privately tutored elementary school students and college students in math as well. In my traditional classes, I mainly taught the co-taught students where the majority of my students were on IEPs or had 504 plans, and I routinely had to differentiate my lessons to accommodate all students.
Because of my background in biochemistry and mechanical engineering I have also tutored college and high school students in various science subjects, with my favorite being chemistry and physics.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have, and I will do my best to respond efficiently!
