"My name is Melissa. It's nice to meet you! I have a B.A. and M.A. in Psychology and a TEFL certification. My specialty is test prep: my ACT composite was 35 and my (old) SAT composite was 2290. I am fully appraised of the changes to both tests since then. In addition, I achieved stellar grades in my classes in high school and college and am happy to tutor any of the subjects listed on my profile.

I've tutored one-on-one for multiple companies, such as FrogTutoring, PrepNow, and More Than a Teacher, both online and in person. In addition, I've worked as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan for Interac. In sum, I have four years of tutoring experience with children from elementary to high school age. I have the most experience with middle and high school children and have taught both one-on-one and in a classroom setting.

Every student's learning style and strengths are different, and I believe it is important to adjust my tutoring style for the student's benefit rather than force a "one size fits all" teaching model. I spend time ensuring students understand material they struggle with." less...
