My objective during our sessions begins with assessing your strengths and weaknesses academically to accommodate to your learning style. We will eventually develop a study habit to set your priority level for success. Also, we can find available resources online or at the library. The more you learn from other available resources, the more you can establish your style to learn and remember the material. Towards the last session, we will set a goal you would like to meet after your success. I am currently a middle school math teacher for Hampton City Schools but love to tutor various subjects. I am in the process of completing my endorsement for Algebra I.Math can be an extremely intimidating topic to learn if abstract ideas seem to accommodate to the math lovers only? I feel differently. Math is for anyone and everyone who wants to be successful and open their minds beyond three dimensions. I turn the abstract to concrete ideas, and work at your pace to learn the math you struggle to do. Let's develop a love for math and understand math in your own way. I look forward to working with you to become successful and appreciate math in a different manner. I patiently and diligently work to plan the lesson according to your needs. I will make sure you understand the math in a concrete manner, yet challenge you to critically think of math in a different tone. I have taken the ASVAB and scored a 70 without studying. I am available after 4 P.M. Monday - Friday during the school year, and am available after 12 P.M. during summer school hours.

Q&A with Melissa

I believe in “I do, we do, you do.” I will demonstrate or explain first about the lesson. During the lesson, I will ask you a series of questions for assessing your understanding of the material. We will practice the problems together emphasizing how you would solve and improve on the mistakes. Then you will demonstrate on your own how to solve the problem with guidance after you have attempted the problem.
