Across the street, we have private beach access. Using nature’s gifts such as the sand, rocks, shells, seaweed and sticks, we are able to incorporate hands-on literacy and numeracy lessons to develop and improve math and language skills. Whether our students are completing homework, working on a project or studying for an exam, the peaceful surroundings of the beach, with our bare feet on the sand, enhances focus and creativity.

The docks along the canal, where boats are coming and going, make for an engaging location to work on homework or literacy and numeracy skills. Whether we are reading or writing, discussing, observing or practicing math facts, this learning environment makes lessons enjoyable.
Swinging on a hammock or sitting by the docks, overlooking the serene waterfront, helps learning feel casual and comfortable. These surroundings create an ideal atmosphere to spark curiosity, creativity and fun.

At the pool area, with our feet in the water, or cooling off in the shade of a cabana, students can practice their math facts, read a book, or complete their homework. Accomplishing academic goals with support, in a fun and a relaxed setting, allows students to view their learning more as play than “work”.
This environment offers a wide range of comfortable spaces including couches, lounge chairs and pool chairs, seamlessly blending learning with relaxation.

Our 8th floor business center offers a beautiful view of the canal's waterway and an indoor option in case of inclement weather. The boardroom is a peaceful, quiet space where we can discuss your child's learning goals and progress. The calm setting, overlooking the water, allows students to focus and demonstrate what they have learned through assessments and conferences in a comfortable, environment.

“Melina remembers learning sessions with Melissa as being fun. She enjoyed the one on one experience, the hands-on projects and learning outdoors. She had a positive experience and always looked forward to the adventure and never hesitated to attend her sessions. As a child with anxiety and learning disabilities, she always looked forward to Melissa’s friendly approach.”
“Melissa Kelly is an exceptional teacher, and more than that, a wonderful person in terms of making real connections with her students. She helped both of our children navigate their school environments during the pandemic, and her thoughtfulness, kindness, inventiveness, and overall approach to teaching was amazing. We credit her tutoring and teaching with helping our kids survive virtual school, and with being ready to get back to in-person learning. We would highly recommend Melissa for any tutoring, teaching, or school support for all students."
“Emma is a very kind patient and dedicated teacher. My daughter loves coming to her piano lessons every week”
“Melissa Kelly is a thoughtful, compassionate, and driven teacher who makes meaningful connections wherever she teaches. In a short amount of time, Melissa is able to build relationships with her students, which allows them to learn in a space in which they feel safe and cared for. Melissa gives room for her students to explore their interests within the learning environment, leading to student-driven projects and a class that is student-centered. In the 2 years we worked together, I was able to witness the profound care and dedication Melissa has for her students and coworkers. Anyone who gets the chance to work with her or become her student is a very lucky person.”
“I am thrilled to be writing a review for Melissa Kelly. She was an incredible teacher who was my children's teacher before Covid, as well as a home tutor for my 9 and 10 year old during covid. From the moment we began working together it was evident that she possesses a remarkable blend of expertise, patience, and dedication that truly make a positive impact on my children's progress during a difficult period."
“100% satisfied with Emma’s lessons. Emma is great, patient and flexible”
