I provide personalized math tutoring on Zoom from 6th grade through college freshman level
(including Algebra II and College Algebra) plus all subject areas of the ACT and SAT.
I use multiple techniques including screen sharing, interactive whiteboards and formula sheets.

I’ll meet you at your level and explain problems in a way your brain understands. You never have to be afraid to ask questions here.
My goal is to make math feel calmer, clearer, and more manageable. When stress goes down, understanding goes up—and that’s when real progress happens.

Most students only use 20% of their calculator. If you use the TI84 Plus CE, TI30XIIS or the Desmos calculators, I’ll show you the functions that you didn’t know existed. I teach calculator strategies more clearly and effectively than they’re typically taught in the classroom. You’ll learn how to:
· Use equations to create graphs and tables
· Use all the fraction features and conversions
· Save time on tests

My name is Melissa Davis and I am a seasoned educator with more than 25 years of experience teaching mathematics and tutoring students in ACT and SAT preparation, including reading and English. I have successfully guided students from public schools, private schools, homeschool programs, and college classrooms, helping students of all backgrounds build confidence and achieve measurable academic success. With a deep understanding of how students learn, I believe that every student can succeed with the right guidance, encouragement, and strategy.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University and a Master’s degree in Education. My strong academic foundation, paired with decades of classroom and one-on-one instruction, allows me to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps tailored to each student’s learning style.
Having lived in New York, Canada, Florida, and Tennessee, I bring a broad perspective to my teaching.
