About Melissa
With over 15 years of teaching experience and more than a decade as a professional journalist, I bring a unique perspective to ELA tutoring. My years in the newsroom sharpened my skills in writing, editing, and clear communication, while my time in the classroom has taught me how to connect with students and make learning engaging. I specialize in helping learners strengthen their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills, offering strategies that go beyond textbooks and prepare students for both academic success and real-world communication.
