Meet Melissa – Literacy Tutor 📖✨Melissa joined us in the spring of 2024 and brings a heart full of passion for helping kids become confident, capable readers! As a wife, a mom of 5, and an active volunteer in child and youth ministries, she knows just how important it is to support and encourage young learners. Her desire is for each child who walks through her door to develop a love for reading 📚 Through ongoing training, Melissa is honing her craft, eager to support students because she knows first-hand the struggle some students face with regards to reading. She is passionate about ensuring each student gains the skills necessary to not only read, but read well! She believes that building confidence in our kids is key, and knows that celebrating even the tiniest of accomplishments can have huge impacts on a student's self-esteem.In her spare time, she can often be found curled up with a good book or browsing the library shelves for her next read. 🛋️
