Melisa
Great Tutor in K-12 Reading, Math, Science, SAT prep, ASL & many more!
I am currently a Licensed Medical Lab Scientist with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida. I taught Chemistry to grades 10-12 students for 3 years with the School District of Hillsborough County. I pride myself of being the youngest teacher in the Science Department at that time with competitive achievement records compared to my fellow veteran counterparts. Every year, 90% of my students passed their rigorous Chemistry finals with a C or be...

Melissa is the Best! She has been working with my son on reading, writing & math. Melissa is always ready to teach. My son is always telling me how he learns so much with her and light bulbs just start going off!! and it shows in his grades. He was struggling before meeting Melissa and now I see a huge change in his confidence and his willingness to learn!! We are so lucky to have her!!

Melisa has been working with my son since October 2014 and I see a day night difference is his reading performance. If I had to say three words to describe Melisa it would be outstanding, exceptional or inimitable. If I could put those words together to make one the word would be Melisa. She comes to each session with a teaching plan so each minute has the maximum potential of connecting with my son. Awesome is another word to describe her.

Ms. Melisa is an awesome tutor who will definitely be a big help in improving my SAT and ACT scores. She reviews over the basics which is very helpful because it's a refresher for anything I may have forgotten. The homework she gives us is helpful & it's not too much to handle because she also knows that we have school work to juggle. She also has no problem with answering our questions or reviewing over questions that we may have struggled with. The most helpful part is probably the tips to attacking a math problem. She taught us the Rule of 9 which I never knew along with division, multiplication & other great rules. All together Melisa is wonderful and I would recommend her to anybody!

Not only do I better understand the material, I feel confident that I will do well in AP Physics since I have been tutoring with Melisa. Melisa has a wealth of knowledge and she even assigns me practice questions for extra practice. I was close to withdrawing from the course prior to tutoring with Melisa. Thank you so much, Melisa. I look forward to our upcoming sessions.

Very patient tutor, she has been a tremendous help. Melisa has been tutoring my son for two weeks now and I have seen an improvement.
Jeannette G. from Brandon, FL
Melisa went directly to the area in which I needed instruction, she made sure I understood each point before moving on, her explanations were effective, that is I readily comprehended what she explained. She treated me most respectfully, important to a person of my age (86). I think we had excellent rapport and I would really like to know her better; there may be other areas of computer work that I will turn to her for help. I am confident that I will be able to progress well with the instruction she provided.

Melisa has helped my son develop his math skills, she works really well with him and makes sure he understands the content before moving on.
Nikisha B. from Lithia, FL
We're new to the area and to ensure my son didn't fall behind I hired Melisa. She has been nothing short of Amazing. My son enjoys his sessions with her. Thank you Melisa.

I'm glad she took the time to assess and realize his strengths and weaknesses, and I'm glad she was not afraid to tell me how much he was trying to sneak a look a his phone.
MARIE L. from Tampa, FL
If I could describe Melisa in one word it would be Exceptional. It takes pure talent and passion to work with kids. She provided a very comfortable environment for my niece. She over exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to see how my niece sign language improves.
Jennifer G. from Riverview, FL
My daughter has struggled in grasping the concepts of algebra but Melisa has really made a huge difference and she is now pulling an A in her advanced math class.
Natasha B. from Plant City, FL
Alena was taught how to solve her math problems that she continued to struggle with in the class room. Alena was evaluated properly and then taught strategies to make her understand what she was doing wrong and then right. I am thankful to have found such a wonderful tutor. She is amazing.
