About Melissa

I began my professional career as an educator in 2012 as a tutor/after school care staff. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Special Education, I worked as a teacher in the elementary and middle school environments for about 4 years.

While I enjoyed my classroom full of students, I knew my talents truly shined and made the most impact in the one-on-one intructional environment. Therefore, I left my career as a teacher and obtained a master's degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis.

I am currently enrolled in a PhD program for certification in Psychology with emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis. I look foward to applying my advanced knowledge of human behavior and scientifically proven, evidenced-based practices for creating significant behavior change while assisting your educational journey.

My teaching philosophy is student centered. I believe the student learns most when instruction is tailor to personal needs and interests.

I was raised in my mother's home-based daycare program. As I aged and transitioned from participant to assistant, I developed a passion to helping children find success in their daily lives. Naturally, that passion lead to a career as a teacher.

I hold extensive education and training in the areas of elementary and middle school academia, instructional interventions for individuals with disabilities and/or special needs, and behavior modification through science-based practices.

About the lesson

The teacher-student relationship is essential for educational success. When working with new students, I collaborate with the student to create an educational program that meets the students individual needs while also enticing a joy for learning.

I have an extensive background providing one-on-one instructions and group insruction to elementary and middle school aged students who are neurotypical and students with varies disabilities (cognitive, social/emotional, ASD, ADD/ADHD, etc.).

The student's opinion is the most important in the student/teacher relationship. My advice to student's looking for teachers is to express your wants and needs as a learner to find a teacher who can provide you the individualized assistance all students deserve.

My fondest memories are success stories of the children I work with. A recent memorable event I shared with a student was encouraging a student experiecing low self-esteem to overcome his fear of stuttering during oral reading to gain success in reading fuency and accuracy. I will never forget the smile on the child's face as the story was told with perfect performance.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Communicating personal needs is a challening task for most students. To help students approach this topic with teachers, I recommend the student describing a past lesson they really enjoyed or one they remember learning a lot from. Students should also talk about lessons and teacher interactions that did not go well. Past experieces can lead to the discovery of learning strategies for successful learning.
