The SAT Whisperer
Anonymous, 6 lessons with MelMel has the ability to observe and focus on the study habits of our child and adjust her strategies accordingly. A great tutor with patience, diligence, promptness, thoroughness and trustworthiness above and beyond any duty or contract. She is a real teacher, a real tutor, a real guider for the student seeking to discover what they are capable of doing in the quest for college applications.

It was such a blessing to have Mel P as my son's tutor
It was such a blessing to have Mel P as my son's tutor. After two lessons, he was able to raise his reading and writing section by a 00 points. Our family is very grateful for Mel's guidance and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Mel.

Mel is such an amazing college writing tutor!
Mel is such an amazing college writing tutor! Because of her lessons in helping me write both my common app essay and UC personal insight questions, she was a huge help in getting me accepted into top tier universities such as UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, and UC Riverside! I highly recommend her as a tutor as she is very efficient and has an amazing personality. I can’t thank her enough!

Excellent support, step by step process
She's provided me excellent suggestions for our first meeting, then we worked on the little details together during the second meeting. She's a good listener, and will guide you into writing powerfu essays based on your personal experience and characteristics.

Bright and patient tutorv
After many cancellations of the SAT my daughter had an SAT “hang-over”. We decided to get her a tutor and found Mel. She gave our daughter back her confidence and quickly recognized her strengths and weaknesses and worked from there. She’s taking the SAT’s this Saturday and is very confident! Thank you Mel!
Lori, 11 lessons with MelTutor responded:Thank you, Lori! Ally is such a dedicated and positive student. Shifting her perspective to a growth mindset has truly allowed her to flourish. Please keep me posted on her June scores and let me know if she needs support with her college admissions essays. Have a wonderful summer!

My son thought Mel did a great job focusing on what he needed to focus on for the SAT. He was very happy with the session and wants to continue tutoring with her.

First lesson
Mel is very professional. Her follow up is stellar. My daugther was amazed at how she was able to explain things so simple for her to understand. Her soft style really works to help the student feel at ease and develop confidence.

Mel P. really helps our son’s high school English. She is very professional and found our son’s problems very well. She has great personality as well. My son is very picky, but he enjoys studying with her.
Yoshiteru, 12 lessons with MelTutor responded:Thank you, Yoshi! I can see James' reading comprehension and writing skills increase as we continue working together. I appreciate his diligence and willingness to learn!
Great SAT Prep
Mel is fabulous. In just two prep sessions my daughter scores on pre test have raised by over 200 points. Today is her final session before the SAT tomorrow but I’m confident she will make her target score with the strategies Mel has taught her. My daughter feels much more confident and prepared since working with Mel and is ready for tomorrow’s test. I’ll update when I receive her scores. Thank you so much, Mel!
