About Melanie


Bio

After 20 years in education—teaching 7th grade ELA, college-level ESL, working with adults as a college English teacher in China, and serving as a middle school counselor and college success coach—I now homeschool my two daughters, ages 5 and 9. The experience I've gained throughout my career has given me a deep understanding of how students approach learning as individuals and what it takes to help them grow with confidence.

After 20 years in education—teaching 7th grade ELA, college-level ESL, working with adults as a college English teacher in China, and serving as a middle school counselor and college success coach—I now homeschool my two daughters, ages 5 and 9. The experience I've gained throughout my career has given me a deep understanding of how students approach learning as individuals and what it takes to help them grow with confidence.

I work with children and adults in ESL, writing, reading instruction, and 1st and 2nd grade Singapore Math. I also guide older students in creating realistic study plans and strengthening executive functioning skills. Whether your child needs structured literacy support, help organizing an essay, or you’re an adult looking to improve your English, I tailor sessions to meet you where you are.

Approved Subjects

ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have 16 years of ESL teaching experience with five years in China with focus on spoken English.
Homeschool

Homeschool

We are a Classical Homeschooling Family! I have a Generalist certification in grades 1-8, with special certifications in English, Reading, Social Studies, GT, and ESL. I also have 2 years of experience as a school counselor and personal experience living abroad and learning Mandarin.
Phonics

Phonics

If typical classroom reading instruction hasn't worked for your child, let's take the Phonics approach. My family started the Classical Homeschool adventure this year, and our soon-to-be first grader is now reading at a 4th grade level! I also taught in public education from 2001 to 2016 and have a Generalist certification in grades 1-8, with special certifications in English, Reading, Social Studies, GT, and ESL.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Whether you're planning an essay, writing for a scholarship application, or working on a cover letter, I can help! I'm a former junior high teacher, counselor, and college success coach. My experience covers everything from the beginnings of elementary writing all the way to graduate school and APA formatting. Let's work together!
Reading

Reading

We started the adventure as a Classical Homeschooling Family this year, but I was involved in public education from 2001 until our daughter was born. She's now 6 and reading at a 4th grade level. If typical reading instruction hasn't quite "clicked" for your child, I highly recommend a phonics approach and would love to help your family!
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have been a teacher since 2001 and a school counselor for several years. As a counselor, I often have helped students set goals, create study plans, and stay on track!
Writing

Writing

I have been an English teacher since 2001 and a college tutor for several years before that. Whether you're in junior high or college, I can help you improve your writing--and maybe even learn to love APA!
