I have 20 years of tutoring experience, helping struggling readers. I have been very successful in improving foundational skills which improve testing scores, producing stronger readers, spellers, and comprehension skills. I use a multitude of tools and strategies to help the student promote these skills. Many different activities to promote phonics skills, blending skills, spelling skills, and comprehension skills.

We met Melissa after my daughter's reading teacher recommended her to us. My daughter has been tutoring with Melissa for over 2 years and it has really been a wonderful experience. Melissa is professional, caring and has a special way to motivate children to want to learn. My daughter does uses the Wilson reading program with Melissa a few days after school that mirrors what she is working on in her school district. With Melissa's help my daughter' s reading scores have jumped this year! She is reading at a fantastic level, beyond our expectations and her comprehension is excellent. The only negative thing I can say is that my daughter is doing so well now with reading that we might not need to attend tutoring much longer and then that time comes I know we will miss Melissa! I highly recommend her for your lessons/ tutoring!
I highly recommend Melissa as a reading specialist because she is patient, supportive, and genuinely cares about helping her students succeed. I've seen firsthand how she takes the time to understand each student's individual needs and adapts her teaching approach to help them make meaningful progress. What I appreciate most is her ability to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and confident in their abilities. Her dedication and passion for helping students grow make her an exceptional educator.
Melissa is someone I'd recommend without hesitation. She has a real understanding of how kids learn to read, and more importantly, she knows how to work with the ones who've had a hard time with it.
She's straightforward with families, patient with students, and she doesn't give up when progress is slow. Kids who've struggled for years make real gains with her because she figures out the actual problem instead of just reteaching the same things that weren't working before.
If your child needs reading support, she's the person to call.See more recommendations

I have been teaching struggling readers for more than 20 years and have been certified in many reading programs that provide much support for many students. I have worked with grades 1st-8th and all students have improved their Reading level by a grade or more by tutoring with me. I feel strongly that all students should feel confident in their reading skills and i have many programs that can be tailored to all reading needs!!
