"I'm Melissa, a math educator with 20+ years of experience specializing in middle school mathematics. I've developed engaging curriculum for grades 6-8, with a reputation for making complex concepts understandable. My teaching approach focuses on personalized learning. Having taught students from age 5 to 16, I know everyone learns differently—some visually, others through listening, and many by doing. I adapt my methods to each student's learning style.

As a Texas-certified Mathematics, Generalist, Special Education, and ESL instructor, I bring knowledge in differentiated instruction and effective strategies. My students consistently say I make math concepts clear and build their confidence.

I offer flexible tutoring options, including:

• One-time sessions for test preparation

• Weekly ongoing support throughout the school year

• Summer refresher courses to prevent learning loss

• Preparation for upcoming math classes

• Assignment completion assistance

• State test preparation STAAR, and Common Core

• Custom support based on your specific need

With 10+ years of tutoring experience, I provide appropriate support—whether helping with homework or preparing for upcoming assessments. My goal is to help students gain confidence and independence in mathematics. When students feel capable, they tackle challenging problems more successfully. I welcome resources and suggestions from students and parents, and provide reliable communication throughout our partnership.

I look forward to helping you or your child develop confidence and competence in mathematics!" less...
