Melissa s.
Private tutor in Montclair, NJ
Education
Marist College, Math Education with a minor is psychology. I graduated in 2005 and have been teaching math ever since.
Experience
I have tutored students in algebra, geometry, algebra 2 and trigonometry. For the past two years I have been volunteering at a homework center helping kids with homework spanning from first grade to eighth grade. I recently got married and moved from Boston Massachusetts to Montclair New Jersey for my husbands job. I've been a math teacher for the past 9 years but decided to take the year off. I love teaching, love working with students and love helping kids understand concepts they may feel are difficult. It was the first time in 27 years that I did not have a first day of school and it just felt wrong. I have missed being in the classroom and I think tutoring would be a great way to teach and work part time. I am familiar with math content spanning from kindergarten to 12th grade. I have coached math leagues, including math counts teams, collaborated with teachers to make sure our lessons fit all learning types, and have a great tool box of manipulative to help kids understand math concepts easier. I am friendly and understanding and enjoy making learning fun!

Hobbies
I am 33 years old and I enjoy running, hiking, biking, skiing, skateboarding. I love being outside but also enjoy watching my favorite tv shows on the couch :) Since I have not been working I have been trying to cook more and read more. Its fun to try new recipes even if they don't come out that great the first time. I love listening to music and I am constantly making new playlists on spotify. I'm always interested in new suggestions. I enjoy going to see live concerts and have always wished I could sing!
