I highly recommend Ms.Melissa and Sunny Shores Academy. Over the past 6 months Melissa has worked diligently with my son to understand his individual learning style and meet goals for him in literacy and math. She offers engaging and hands on lessons with warmth, patience, and creativity. My son looks forward to seeing her every week! We also attended a specialized workshop where the kids got to interact with live animals like turtles and snakes. It was exciting and enlightening. We look forward to more workshops. We love that her approach isn't the more typical one size fits most. Sunny Shores is a rare find!
Melissa at Sunny Shores Academy has been absolutely wonderful with my son. She has a natural gift for connecting with children and makes every session a fun, enriching experience. I especially appreciate how she thoughtfully weaves nature into the learning process, whether it's outdoor exploration or creative projects inspired by the world around them. My son comes home excited, curious, and full of stories thanks to her warmth and guidance. We feel so lucky to have her!

Melissa is one of the most dedicated and passionate educators I have come across. What she has built with Sunny Shores Academy is truly something special. She has a natural gift for connecting with children and meeting them exactly where they are, and that level of care is rare to find. The personalized approach she brings to learning combined with her warm teaching style makes Sunny Shores Academy stand out. If you are looking for an educational experience that genuinely supports your child's growth and confidence, I cannot recommend her enough.
There are very few people I would trust with my boys' education, and Ms. Melissa is at the top of that list. Our sons are 4 and 7 years old, and she has had an incredible impact on both of them. Ms. Melissa has a remarkable gift for connecting with children while holding them to a high standard. She creates an environment where they genuinely enjoy learning, and we've watched both of our boys grow academically, socially, and in confidence. They come home excited to share what they've learned, which speaks volumes. What impresses me most is how much she truly cares. Every child is treated as an individual, and it's obvious that their success isn't just a job to her, it's a passion. As a parent, there's no greater peace of mind than knowing your children are spending their days with someone who is as invested in their future as you are. If you're considering Ms. Melissa, don't hesitate. We are incredibly grateful for everything she's done for the boy's, and I recommend her without reservation.
We've been going to Melissa for tutoring for two years now, and she is truly amazing at what she does. She is incredibly patient, kind, and always finds new strategies and ways of teaching that really connect with Liam. Math has always been an area he struggles with, and we've seen so much growth and progress since working with her. One of the things I love most is that she goes beyond traditional tutoring. She has the kids create presentations on subjects they're interested in while incorporating the skills and concepts they've learned throughout the year. It makes learning engaging and gives them confidence in what they've accomplished. Melissa is also extremely responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in her students. She has given Liam so many tools and strategies that have helped him succeed and become more confident in school. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her!
