StudywithMelissa

I'm a former classroom teacher turned full-time academic coach with over 10 years of experience helping students not just learn—but thrive. I specialize in building executive functioning skills: the essential tools behind time management, organization, focus, task initiation, planning, and self-advocacy. I work with students to develop the habits and strategies they need to take control of their learning. Whether it’s breaking down overwhelming assignments, creating systems for staying on track, or building confidence in math and biology, I meet students where they are—and guide them forward with clarity and structure.

Before working with Melissa, passing math MCAS looked dubious, along with high school graduation. But my student has passed MCAS in the proficient range, which was miraculous. Now, Melissa and my student are working on college entrance exams, and Melissa has already helped my student achieve mid-range scores. Melissa's value is impossible to measure. She provides the knowledge, strategies and guidance tailored for individual success, as evidenced by my child." JRA, Greater Boston Melissa is more than a wonderful tutor. She helped my son in so many ways. She gave him life long skills in studying, organizing, setting priorities, and building confidence. She gave him the tools to succeed. So very grateful to Melissa. ~Jean M. Melissa assessed, developed and delivered a custom math curriculum for my 8th grader in order to prep her for a grade skip in mathematics at the high school level. She is reliable, responsible, smart and effective. Rebecca T.
