I have the skills to make math easier for students K-5! Using visuals, games, and sensory modalities help our students to boost their math ability! Whether they are learning addition or fractions, all students enjoy individualized instruction to clarify math concepts.
Language Arts
Reading is essential for school success! All phonics and reading lessons are designed
to enhance vocabulary and comprehension. COGS' lessons engage students in writing about topics of interest while helping them to increase their writing skills! Support is also available for older students who need assistance with all areas of literature and writing.

A few words from our clients:
“Melissa tutored my now 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter, and 7 year old son for close to 4 years. She was wonderful and worked well with each child. She taught them fun ways to work through math problems and reading comprehension. My kids loved her and really enjoyed the learning process. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to enhance the schooling experience with someone who truly enjoys working with children. She is one of a kind!” -Gina M.
