“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.”

Melpo and Melina Golfinopoulos

“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."

Pauline

“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.”

Alex Sinclair

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."
