This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have over 20 years of educational experience. I have an undergraduate degree in elementary and special education with a focus on math. I have masters in literacy instruction. Additionally, I received my Orton-Gillingham certification. Across the east coast, I have worked as a General and Special Education teacher. As a Special Education teacher, I have mentored other educators, led leadership teams and coordinated staff development workshops for educators. I have also tutored students in Pre-K through 8th grade in a private learning center and through in-home environments. My educational methods focus on praise and positive reinforcement. My teaching approach incorporates hands-on learning methods that foster a strong understanding of academic content while building confidence.

Melissa has been an excellent tutor for our son. She is organized, keeps him focused, employs effective learning strategies. Her high level of experience and professionalism is just what we needed. I wish she had less students so we could use her more.
