I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Students at California State University, Fullerton. I went on to receive my Elementary teaching credentials through California State University, San Marcos. I have experience tutoring basic Math essentials & Algebra and Reading/Writing with elementary, middle, and some high school students through the AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination) program and Sylvan Learning Center; as well as from my own tutoring business. I have taught 4th-grade ELAR and Social Studies for a year; as well as a year in a self-contained classroom teaching 2nd grade.
Tutoring children has always sparked my passion for teaching. I believe teaching in small groups and one-on-one is the most effective way for children to learn. I believe teaching and learning go interchangeably in which teachers and students work as a team to create an effective learning environment. I'm looking forward to tutoring you/your child!

catching up

My 9 year old is Autistic/ADHD and is a few years behind with his reading and comprehension. We met with Miss Melissa for the first time today, and she was absolutely fantastic! He gets easily distracted and would rather play, but her redirection skills were on point.

amazing session

Very attentive and amazing with instruction!! She broke down problems into the simplest forms using real word examples that were easy to digest. For sure will book with her again.

Great Teacher!!!!

She worked with my daughter on reading comprehension and learning the correct way to write certain letters. She understands the concerns I have with my daughter for sure. My daughter loves her already and it’s only been day one. I can’t wait to see how big of an impact these tutoring sessions will have . Thank you so much !
