About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
I have over 20 years of educational experience. I have an undergraduate degree in elementary and special education with a focus on math. I have masters in literacy instruction. Additionally, I received my Orton-Gillingham certification. Across the east coast, I have worked as a General and Special Education teacher. As a Special Education teacher, I have mentored other educators, led leadership teams and coordinated staff development workshops for educators. I have also tutored students in Pre-K through 8th grade in a private learning center and through in-home environments. My educational methods focus on praise and positive reinforcement. My teaching approach incorporates hands-on learning methods that foster a strong understanding of academic content while building confidence.

Melissa has been an exceptional tutor for my sons, especially in reading and math. Her expertise in the Orton-Gillingham approach has been transformative. Since working with her, my sons have made significant strides in their reading abilities and have gained confidence in math as well. Melissa's dedication, personalized teaching methods, and deep understanding of how to support struggling learners have made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate tutor.
