Melissa: Morton Grove tutor
Certified Tutor
As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's in History Secondary Education from The College of New Jersey, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking for help. With experience teaching sixth and eighth-grade social studies, I focus on engaging students through interactive discussions and differentiated instruction tailored to their unique learning styles. My expertise includes Government & Politics, U.S. History, and writing skills, particularly in crafting document-based questions. I believe that building confidence in students through collaborative learning and critical thinking not only enhances their academic success but also equips them with essential skills for the future. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring history through travel and reading, which further enriches my approach to tutoring.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading a wide variety of books, from fiction to non-fiction, as I’m always eager to learn something new. I also love spending time outdoors—whether it’s hiking, walking, or simply enjoying nature. Most importantly, I value quality time with my family, which brings me joy and keeps me connected to what matters most.
