"Hi there, I'm Melissa.

I'm a positive, upbeat tutor who is great at explaining things. My main area of expertise is academic writing for high school and college students. I can help students learn how to vet sources, organize information, write thesis statements and avoid common writing errors. I'm also skilled at editing, tutoring, and coaching dissertation and thesis students, particularly in the fields of economics, finance, business, nursing, education, and political science.

I have been tutoring for about a decade. I earned my Bachelor of Science in economics from Oregon State University and my Master of Science in Magazine Writing from the University of Oregon.

Yes, I do online lessons! Yes, I do last-minute lessons!" less...
