I'm Melissa, and I have over 15 years experience as an Educator both professionally and personally. I started my career as a Preschool teacher, and eventually spent a few years teaching elementary grade students in a school for children with Autism, specializing in ABA therapy and Discrete Trial Training. I then went on to manage two schools, as an Educational Therapy Director and Montessori Director. I have home schooled my three children from Kindergarten level to High School, with one child graduating with honors and a medical scholarship, and another child in all AP classes.
I enjoyed being able to teach a classroom size group, but I loved being a Director since it gave me the opportunity to work directly with the students who struggled. Allowing that one-on-one attention was so important to their academic growth.
I excel in developing curriculum that tailors to my student's individual needs in an understanding and clear manner. I enjoy creating learning material that is fun and creative and brings out the best in my students.
My schedule is very flexible and I can work around a time that is convenient for my students and parents. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
