Melinda came to our house to tutor my granddaughter and my granddaughter liked her very much and we made plans for another session. Melinda took my granddaughters books home with her to look them over and the next thing I know I found the books on the front lawn, no explanation or phone call. I had to call her to ask what had happened and she simply said she got a job and wouldn't be tutoring again. I was very disappointed in her non professional behavior.
