I am a twenty year resident of Mystic, CT, with a BS Mech Engineering from Virginia Tech. As an engineer with IBM, I completed my MS, also in ME and Optimization Math. My professional work involved machine design, computer simulation, and optimization (a lot of Math!). I love Math, and the Sciences, and have extensive applied experience. This helps me to find more and varied ways to explain the foundational aspects of Math and Science in problem solving. I have thousands of hours of t...

Melita has a lot of patience and is good at explaining things. She has a good idea of what my daughter's strengths and weaknesses are to help her figure out what is needed to best prepare her for exams. My daughter has a lot more confidence after Melita has tutored. I find that she is easy to reach when needed even if it's last minute.

Melita has been an amazing tutor for my son. He really struggles in writing, and she is very insightful to what is blocking the process. She's great about updating me every day with what they work on, and this is very helpful since my son does not! He enjoys working with Melita, and she has a kind, gentle approach. Melita worked with my son for the month of June for 2 hours, 5 days a week, and the growth was amazing. She was really able to help him understand that he was a good writer, and that he needed to be open to writing. Having my son write in a journal every day was key for him. It made writing less stressful, and taught him how to just flow, and not worry about each word! He real enjoyed working with Melita, and happily went every day!

Melita is very knowledgeable, capable, personable and diligent. My wife was very worried about her college English courses due to English being her third language. Working with Melita helped her to get A's on all her English classes and she eventually graduated Magna Cum Laude. We want to thank Melita for all her help and recommend her as an excellent and hard working tutor.

My daughter Stephanie has been very happy with Melita. She is very patient with her and shows her the processes needed to methodically solve problems. It is going very well!!

Kids are working hard and the schedule is working out great! The kids look forward to seeing her and appreciate her knowledge and her positivity!

We relocated to the SE Connecticut area from out-of-state where our son had attended a highly rated private school for the gifted. His new school did not offer specific coursework in foreign languages or technology, and did not offer science lessons on a daily basis. After reviewing many resumes on WyzAnt, we found Metila, a very experienced tutor in those areas. Additionally, she displayed a great breadth of experience in many other areas. Melita was everything her resume displayed and more. She was knowledgeable, resourceful, compassionate, yet demanding. She was able to light his intellectual fires, once again being excited about learning. Melita was able to motivate him in the same manner his previous school did. As other educational needs arose at his new school, she quickly adapted her planned lesson to assist us to get him back on track. Her crowning achievement was guiding our third grade son to create his own website which he presented to his classmates and teachers. It was so well received that the head of the school requested a special showing. We highly recommend Melita as a tutor for any age child. She is a natural teacher who is able to effectively tune into a child and motivate them to the best of their natural abilities. We feel like she has become a family member.

Melita came to the house to help tutor my son in Pre-Calculus when we really needed her most. She was quick to respond and worked around my son's schedule. She was kind and patient and seemed to be a life line to me and my son when he really needed help with an on-line Pre-Calculus course. So far he is doing well and Melita took the time to help answer his questions and give him the skills and confidence to succeed. We are very grateful to Melita for her skills, patience and willingness to be flexible with our schedule.

Melita wasted no time getting to work. She knew the subject well, AP calculus, and did a good job explaining the material. We were very happy with her in all aspects of the job.


Tamera A. from Pawcatuck, CT

Melita has been tutoring my son in Algebra and Pre-calculus for the last year and a half. The difference has been outstanding! She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and is excellent at identifying weakness areas and giving suggestions for further review. We appreciate her accommodating around sports schedules and scheduling around exam time. We look forward to another great year working with Melita because Calculus is coming up next!


Sean W. from North Stonington, CT

Melita was an excellent tutor last year for our 8th grade, home schooled daughter who was struggling with Algebra I. She was patient, explained the concepts very well and our daughter got quickly up to speed after just a few sessions. Melita responded quickly, was always punctual, and was very helpful with sending some follow up work sheets to help her practice. Overall, an excellent experience!! Thank you Melita!!


Dorothy B. from West Hartford, CT

Melita is patient and knowledgeable in SAT prep. She has true concern for her student. I feel strengths were built upon and weaknesses discovered. I am so much more prepared to take the SATs and to continue to study for them on my own. Melita made me feel comfortable and confident. I can apply these skills in all my academic settings and beyond.


Angela G. from Stonington, CT

Katjana currently has an A in math and I attribute much of this to Melita's help. I consider this after school tutoring one of the most important gifts we can give to our daughter. Katjana goes to her sessions with Melita eagerly and raves about how helpful she is in addressing different ways in which to solve a problem.


Geoffrey L. from Stonington, CT

In first session was able to review a semesters worth of tests and spot patterns and provide specific advice. My student looks forward to a second session.


Rima D. from Nianpic, CT

Melita is a wonderful tutor. She explained the precalculus lesson to my daughter in a way that she was able to understand the material, and gave her much needed confidence!
