For over a year now, Mrs. Daniels has been working with me. She has greatly helped me improve my grammar and math skills. With her help, my SAT score has jumped about 200 points so far. She focuses on the areas that she notices I need to work more on by giving me additional practices. Mrs. Daniels also is very friendly which makes me enjoy my classes with her. I highly recommend her as a tutor.
I have been Melissa's student for some time and I am very confident when I say that she is a wonderful teacher. Melissa focuses on weak areas makes sure that students improve on them. She is very well organized and knows exactly what she is doing. Melissa really helped me in reaching my goals on the SAT and made sure that I kept on improving! She is super confident in what she does. I would highly recommend her when it comes to studying and preparing for the SAT's! Melissa has a wonderful style of teaching and really makes sure that students are well prepared for the test!
I took the IELTS three times. I had tried to prepare myself and then I went to an institute but I needed to improve my score. With Melissa, I received customized instruction and flexibility with timing. We focused only on the bands that I needed to work on. It is more convenient to work online from my home than attend a class. I could understand the guidelines Melissa suggested rather than follow the many rules of writing and speaking dictated by the institute. Melissa has helped me to improve for IELTS Exam by focusing on my weaknesses.
She is an excellent teacher!
I enjoyed how quick we were able to go through practice exams and how well she explained strategies to succeed in my SAT English exam.
Melissa has very excellent style in the teaching , my son liked her way of the explanation. In the beginning I was worried because my son used to have face to face tutor and never tried some remote tutor but Melissa has showed fantastic way of the explanation. In 13 sessions we did not feel any difference between remote or face to face tutor. I am going to continue with Melissa with my second son in the SAT. Thanks Melissa for your great efforts, it is really appreciated.
She’s a really good teacher. She helped me increase my SAT scores to 700+ in each. I really recommend her. You won’t regret her.
Melissa has been my tutor for over a year. She first helped me with the SAT. I learned many good strategies from her. Now, I am at University and she has tutored me in many classes such as English, Psychology, and Citizenship. In each of these classes, she has made the learning very personal and specific to my needs. Melissa is very professional and knows her subject well. Over time, we have built a strong relationship and I appreciate her support and encouragement.
Melissa teaches SAT Maths through online video chat. I was sceptical at first whether I would be able to understand online rather than face-to-face, but Melissa is a good teacher and it worked out for me. She had many strategies to teach me and get me ready for the SAT.
Melissa has been tutoring my son for over a year now, she is very patient and punctual. she customises the lessons to fit my son needs. Has a deep understanding of the subject as well as the right methods to teach it.
