Bio
I am a young ambitious law graduate, currently enrolled for a Masters in Intellectual Property Law at UJ. I am patient, punctual, respectful and a very good listener.
I am very patient, and understand that each individual is different and learns differently. I believe that respect is very important, and thus that's my approach when assisting others. I am very patient, kind and a good listener. I am not judgmental. I have extensive experience working with different people in an academic, professional, social and community.

Reviews from others
“Melissa was excellent. She is very smart and she graduated from one f the brilliant law schools in the country. She also has great people's skills and she was patient with me in all our sessions. However, one of the major things I liked about her was the fact that she was always prepared in all our sessions (as smart as she is). She went all out and even read extra materials on the topics. In addition, Melissa also sent me all those materials after each of our sessions. If you want a brilliant tutor on any law course, please ask for Melissa. I am forever grateful for giving me excellent tips on how to approach the exam questions on my own. Thank you Melissa for tutoring me jurisprudence. You have no idea how helpful our sessions have been to me. I am now confident that I will do well in my upcoming exam on Thursday. May God continue to open many opportunities for you in this field...teaching is definitely one of your passions. You do it so well and so effortlessly. I am definitely recommending you to my friends and school mates. Xoxo Phumelele Dhlamini”- Phumi
