Melissa F.
Private tutor in Houston, TX
Education
I graduated from Cornell University with distinction in all subjects. I majored in History and minored in Law and Society. I graduated with a 3.8 cumulative GPA, and a 4.0 GPA within my major. While on campus, I was involved in many leadership roles, and was also tapped for the Quill and Dagger Senior Honor Society, considered one of the top honors that an undergraduate can achieve. Since graduating from Cornell, I have also completed graduate course work at Rice University in Houston, TX.
Experience
I am a former 6th grade math teacher but have helped students of all ages, from elementary to college-level, achieve their learning goals. I have tutored for the past 10 years in various capacities. I also have helped in editing students' college essays and other assignments. I love tutoring because it allows me to get to know a student on a one-on-one level and help them reach their educational goals and confidence.
