About Me

Hi there, I’m Mrs. Melissa B. Henry.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies at California State University, Fullerton. I went on to receive my Elementary teaching credentials through California State University, San Marcos. I have experience tutoring basic Math essentials & Algebra and Reading/Writing with elementary, middle, and some high school students through the AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination) program and Sylvan Learning Center as well as from my own tutoring business. I have taught 4th-grade ELAR and Social Studies for a year as well as a year in a self-contained classroom teaching 2nd grade.


Tutoring children has always sparked my passion for teaching. As a former Killeen Independent School District teacher, I believe teaching in small groups and one-on-one is the most effective way for children to learn. I believe teaching and learning go interchangeably in which teachers and students work as a team to create an effective learning environment. I'm looking forward to tutoring you and your child!
