Melissa: Long Island City tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of California Santa Cruz, attaining a double bachelors in community and sociology. I have spent my past few summers at Princeton University and in Manhattan, New York mentoring and tutoring Middle and High school students on how to successfully gain admission to Ivy League universities and on how to be academically successful and prepared for the university.

I have successfully mentored and tutored students who have gained admission into Harvard, Princeton, Brown, and UC Berkeley to name a few.

I am effective at tutoring because I love working one on one with students and helping the student achieve their goals of improvement. I have been tutoring students since high school. During my time at the university I also tutored in writing and helped students with some of their most difficult assignments.
I currently also work for a small publishing company and edit a variety of works from autobiographies to creative poetic projects.
In my free time I enjoy reading and community service. I also enjoy traveling the world!
I have travelled all over the United states and have visited the following countries,
Guyana
Mexico
El Salvador
Costa Rica
France
Italy
