There are no words to express the positive impact Melanie has had on my student, and therefore, our family!

She has the understanding and flexibility to navigate any school's curriculum and format, while also showing students other methods to successfully complete the work. Her investment in our daughter's education is clear, as she can tell us about areas to support and insight on upcoming work.

The best testimonial of all is having my 8th grade daughter requesting Melanie's services for the school year ahead. Melanie is personable and knowledgeable, and we are lucky to have her as we navigate math education.

“Melanie makes math fun for my fourth grader. We call Melanie her math coach and she always looks forward to their sessions together. Math requires work and sometimes would cause frustration (and tears) and we wanted to stop that! I got a message from her teacher today. It stated, "...is rocking it in math these days! Her confidence has soared!" I was so happy to hear this and I am also happy to share that homework is getting done a lot faster and with a lot less or no frustration.”

“Her geometry average has increased by 10 points since she started working with you and her test score was great last week! We are super proud of her!”

“Melanie is able to connect with kids in a way that engages them and builds upon the principles learned in school. She is a great motivator and cheerleader and my kids were always eager to report good test scores to her. Melanie's service is not just for kids struggling in math, but also for kids who would benefit from more repetition and practice. I highly recommend Melanie.”

“I have worked with Melanie for 6 years as her colleague and administrator; she is the BEST math teacher. She has made math accessible for our students. Students are always saying that math isn’t frightening with Ms. Lolli. She is so patient and knows how to explain concepts in ways that really make sense to even the most struggling learners.”

“Melanie is the math whisperer. She knows how to reach kids while making math comprehensible and fun! My daughters rely on Melanie when they need help but within a session, they feel confident again in what, hours ago, was a struggle. She is flexible with a great personality! Highly recommend.”

“As one of Melanie's former education professors and now as a parent of a student tutored by Melanie, I am delighted to write this review! We hired Melanie after the COVID-19 session meant our daughter had the last part of algebra online. We wanted to make sure she was ready for what was to come as she entered high school.

Melanie's own expertise in mathematics combined with her student-focused teaching methods make her the ideal tutor. She sets the student at ease first, assesses the student, and then tailors lessons to help fill in any gaps. Believe it or not, after my daughter's first and second tutoring sessions, she gave thanks during her night-time prayers for the opportunity to have Melanie as her tutor. Wow - that's saying a lot for someone who does fine in math overall but doesn't prefer it as a subject.

Melanie aligns her lessons with state standards and is making sure our daughter is well prepared for what comes next. Melanie is building her confidence, fluency, and ease with mathematics.
