I truly believe that when kids are having fun, they learn better. Besides that, I like to connect my lessons with hobbies and preferred activities. Whether it's playing sports, baking, or video gaming, we will find a way to tie it all together! Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting crafty, and baking delicious treats. I'm also a big fan of sports and thrilling stories in books and movies. Together we will explore topics that ignite curiosity and creativity. I can't wait to meet you and begin our fun learning adventure! See you soon!

I truly believe that learning should be fun and fulfilling, and I can't wait to share that belief with my learners and their families.

With 18 years of experience under my belt, I've taught wonderful learners in grades 3 to 5 in subjects like Reading, Writing, Science, and even Math. I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my love for learning with kids across sunny Florida, and I can’t wait to bring that joy into our online sessions together! To make learning fun, I love to use fun educational games like Kahoot, Wayground, and Gimkit, where we can compete or collaborate in real-time. I also make sure to connect lessons to the real world by having learners conduct simple science experiments with things they can find at home or explore their surroundings through engaging writing prompts. My focus is on creating a structured, interactive environment that encourages participation and sparks curiosity! Outside of teaching, you can find me cheering on my two daughters, who are elite cheerleaders with Cheer Nation Athletics. As a Cheer Mom, I’ve learned so much about teamwork, dedication, and motivation—lessons I bring into our online classroom! Just like on the cheer mat, I believe in the power of positive encouragement, resilience, and embracing challenges to help learners believe in their potential and succeed. Let’s make this learning adventure a blast together!

My name is Melissa Olshefskie, and I have been teaching for about 20 years already. I have taught in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and at the high school level. I currently teach 4th grade. I have found that no matter what grade I teach students all need someone who cares about them inside and outside of the classroom, someone who believes in them, and someone who has high expectations for them to succeed. I really enjoy embedding technology into my lessons, showing my students how to utilize it to meet their needs. Outside of teaching I spend my time with my family. I have a 15 year old daughter who wrestles and a 20 year old son who is in his 3rd year of college working to earn his doctorate for physical therapy. He played baseball his whole life, and now he has been very involved in jiu jitsu. I truly enjoy and appreciate being able to cheer them on in what they love. I look forward to the opportunity to have a positive impact on more students through Dojo tutoring.
