I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Hi my name is Melissa Madden!

I have been teaching high school Biology and Chemistry for 3 years, but I have been tutoring on my own and through PSU for 6 years! I love science and learning but I have a passion for teaching. I believe that I can take any subject and not only make it fun/relatable but easy to understand as well!
I can tutor Biology and Chemistry at any level, just ask and I'm there!
I truly think I have found my calling in Education.
I believe that I can help anyone achieve success by finding the learning style that works for them and matching my teaching or instructor to their preferred style.
