“Mel 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.”
“I got accepted into Notre Dame, Loyola Chicago (I received the Ignation Scholarship where only 10 out of 600 applicants get it and it is a full-tuition scholarship), Villanova University (I received the St. Augustine Scholarship where only 80 out of the freshman class get it and it is a $15,000 a year scholarship), UCSD, and UCSB. I have made the decision to attend Notre Dame! I am super excited. I published a journal where the majority of the sections in it are inspired by all the mental prep you had me do for the SAT. Your tutoring really changed my life - I started journaling after our sessions, and then designed the journal based on the sections I created. It truly is helping many others.”
“Mel was instrumental in helping my daughter raise her SAT score, teaching her strategic techniques and how to overcome her nerves. Mel also reviewed my daughter’s insight questions for UC school applications. Her detailed notes and exacting knowledge are invaluable. I highly recommend Mel to prepare your child for every facet of the college application process. ”
“My daughter has always struggled in Math. It was important for us to find the right tutor to help her through her SAT preparation. She had an athletic scholarship pending her SAT outcome. The pressure was on for my daughter to do her best and for me to help her find the right help. I had gone through so many math tutors since her elementary school years and none helped like Mel did. There was something about Mel’s strategy, the method in teaching that my daughter liked and understood. With perseverance, determination and hard work she did it, she improved her SAT score by 220 points from her previous assessment. Mel was heaven sent. She was flexible with my daughter’s crazy schedule, professional, and honest. We will be forever grateful to her and highly recommend her services. ”
“Mel is a great and encouraging mentor! She has edited my personal statements and cover letters several times. With her help, my essays have developed more of an individualistic voice, standing out from the cookie-cutter ones. I find that her advice has pushed my writing skills to be better than I could have ever imagined and I am grateful for the help I’ve received from her.”
“Melanie was a great help to me throughout high school. If it hadn’t been for her help, I would have had a much harder time getting through my classes. She was always very patient and made sure I properly understood the material before moving ahead. She was also a huge help when planning my essays for my college applications. She helped me organize my thoughts and ideas before writing and helped proofread my essays.”
“Thank you for your constant energetic demeanor, your effort in engaging us, and your sense of humor!”
