Greetings! My name is Mel and my background is diverse culturally and professionally. With my BA in English education, I taught at a multicultural private school for a year and have been substituting in many NJ schools for all ages. Additionally, I have tutoring experience with special needs students as well as ESL learners, especially Arabic speakers. I am passionate about tutoring, which over the years I have discovered is my foremost strength in the educational field. With proactive and productive steps, I enjoy helping students towards achieving their goals, becoming more confident/ independent, and expanding their minds with new ideas and approaches. My proficient foreign languages: Greek, Arabic
