Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Melissa, founder of Fox Tutoring Academy and mom to two incredible kids who helped shape this journey.
I started this work after watching my own daughter struggle with reading in second grade. Even though she had early success, she hit a wall with decoding and comprehension. I stepped in as both a parent and an educator, and together we worked to rebuild her confidence and her skills.
What started as something personal quickly turned into something much bigger.
As a longtime educator, I’ve seen how many children are falling behind in reading. When I learned that more than 60 percent of fourth graders in the U.S. aren’t reading at grade level, I knew I had to take action.
I created Fox Tutoring Academy to be a trusted place where families can get the help they need with real, effective reading support that makes a difference.
At Fox Tutoring Academy, literacy is at the heart of everything we do. We help young children build strong early reading skills, support homeschool families with structure and strategy, guide students through homework challenges, and coach teachers with research-based tools that work in real classrooms.
I support students in Pre-K through 6th grade with reading, writing, and foundational literacy skills.
Every child deserves to feel confident, capable, and supported. That’s what we’re all about.
