Melissa Zink

Over my 24-year career in education, I've held diverse roles including 5th Grade Classroom Teacher, Literacy and Math Specialist, Interventionist, and Teacher Coach. My wealth of experience, coupled with extensive training in research-based interventions, enables me to pinpoint specific areas of need and closely track progress, ensuring efficient support for students in reaching their goals. I am well-versed in various curriculums and grade-level expectations and provide comprehensive guidance across all subjects.

As an Orton-Gillingham tutor, I specialize in implementing a multi-sensory and systematic approach designed to cater to diverse learning styles, particularly benefiting students with dyslexia. My tutoring sessions are highly personalized. I create individualized learning plans by integrating materials from various interventions, aiming to bridge educational gaps effectively. I am dedicated to meeting students at their unique academic levels and creating a supportive environment that fosters confidence and success. My structured tutoring sessions aim to equip all students, including those with dyslexia, with the skills needed to navigate and overcome literacy challenges.

When working with students online, I integrate the Orton-Gillingham approach into a productive and interactive virtual environment. I tailor each session to suit the individual student's needs, offering a personalized and effective learning experience. Beyond literacy, I cover a broad spectrum of content areas, math concepts, and curriculums. My approach accommodates diverse learning styles and academic needs, creating a versatile and inclusive space where students flourish!
