Melissa: Spokane County tutor
Certified Tutor
I am excited to work with you!
I am a college instructor and have been for the past 8 years. My primary focuses are Freshman Composition I/II and Technical Writing. I am proficient in all MLA and APA formatting. Editing and proofreading are my strongest suits.
I excel at helping students create research-based arguments and technical writing. I am also proficient in regard to creative or fiction writing. When it comes to all things writing, I'm the instructor for you!
I love teaching and working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I work with students ranging in experience and age such as recent high graduates or, returning adults. I love working with all of them!
My passion is helping students see how incredible learning and writing can be. Most important though, is seeing students realize their potential and realize how amazing they are!
Learning should be fun, exciting, and engaging. It should also always embrace and encourage the student first to fit their needs.
I am creative, enthusiastic, learner-focused, and compassionate. I'm here to help and listen.
The more questions you ask, the more you learn.

My primary focuses of study are Comic Books/Graphic Novels (ya, you can make these a study focus), and Feminist/Gender Studies. My strengths in writing are research-based or technical writing but creative writing is awesome too. I love dark electronic music, yacht rock, and most other forms of alternative music. I have three sons, three dogs, and one aquatic turtle. We've lived in San Antonio for over thirteen years and I love it! I love snorkeling, traveling, and going to the beach whenever I can. Thank goodness for Mustang Island, it's one of my favorite escapes and my happy place. Corpus isn't as awesome as the beaches in the Caribbean but it's a beach and it's close by! You can't beat that!
