Mellisa
Just a chemistry loving chemical engineer
My original training was at Colorado School of Mines with a Major (Bachelor's and Master's degree) in Chemical Engineering and Minor in Biological Engineering Life Sciences. I interned at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) while completing my thesis-based masters degree. I graduated with high honors but I found that I thoroughly enjoyed teaching students in my recitation-style workshops (references upon request), so I joined Teach for America. I have taught as a licensed secondary s...

Mellisa was very prompt in responding to our tutor request. Despite being quite busy, she was able to fit us in the next evening. She was patient and very thorough and exactly what my son needed. He will definitely be continuing tutoring sessions for AP chemistry with Mellisa as needed as he progresses through the school year. Update: After only 2 sessions with Mellisa he was the only student to score 100% on the most recent test and actually broke the curve!!

My son has ADHD and has gaps in the information presented in his classes. Mellisa patiently works with him for a few hours each chapter to help him fill those gaps. We have seen his test grades go from D's to A's with just a little help from her. Mellisa is responsive, flexible, patient, prompt and communicative so I can easily understand what she has worked on each session. I feel lucky to have found her!

I have a son in AP Chem and a daughter in General Chem, both have the same, very tough, teacher. Mellisa is changing their lives. She is patient and passionate and they really respond to her. There is so much pressure on kids today. I expect great grades, but I feel like I need to support them as well. I wish I would have hired Mellisa in August. Her English is perfect and my children's stress levels have dropped in just two sessions. She also helps with Algebra II H and Pre-calc H. She will tutor them straight through exams - we are so happy.

Very efficient, easy to contact. I got in touch with her one weekend and had a tutoring session set up two days later. Very knowledgeable about subjects and very clear speech.
