About Mind Over Math Academy
Welcome to Mind Over Math Academy!
Hi, I am Melissa Lanzafama (aka Ms. L) - and I'm so glad you are here.
My purpose in life is simple but powerful: to help students build confidence, discover their own strengths, and find the intrinsic motivation they need to become independent, lifelong learners.
I started this tutoring journey because I believe learning isn't just about getting the right answers - its about asking the right questions, developing self-belief, and learning how to learn. Every student has untapped potential and I'm here to guide them in uncovering it.
Whether your child is struggling in math, aiming to improve their academic performance, or simply looking to grow their mindset, I'm committed to providing personalized support that empowers them - not just for school, but for life.
Let's build confidence. Let's inspire curiosity. Let's learn together.
