About our Founder

Melissa, our Program Director, is a key asset to the company, and it is her knowledge, experience and expertise that makes Colourful Hearts what it is. She has been teaching for 14 years now, and has taught children from all walks of life, from 1.5 years of age to 15 years old, from those with learning difficulties, to those that are gifted. With an education in special education, early childhood and mass communications, Melissa is very much sought after in the industry for her unique teaching programs and a proven track record in helping children onto the path of excellence.

Her prior teaching experiences sets her apart from most teachers in the industry today, where she assumed many diverse roles that helped her to acquire a variety of skills and traits to cater to the different needs of children. Before she founded Colourful Hearts, Melissa's 'Tour of Duty' has included elaborate stints at Julia Gabriel's Centre for Learning, Chiltern House and Zoophonics.
A perfectionist by nature, she takes great pride in her work, always ensuring that the work she produces is of the highest quality and done to the best of her abilities. Her remarkable patience and determination to teach children sets a high standard of quality in her teaching programs. With her dedication to molding the minds of our young, Melissa is always on the lookout for new knowledge that will ensure her teaching is always up to date and fresh.
Melissa sold her business in October 2016. This sale placed her in early retirement! She currently does only home intervention program on a limited basis and devotes the rest of her time to homeschooling her daughter.
