About Ellie

I am friendly and encouraging, while also wanting my students to optimize their learning during the time spent together! I scored a 750 on the reading/grammar portion of my SATS, and have excelled in college courses related to English and law, which are reading heavy and require a high level of reading and writing proficiency. I am articulate and academically focused, but I also want to help students enjoy what they learn as much as possible.

My lessons can be from anywhere from elementary to high school or some college English. Teaching method involves a clear break down of expectations and goal setting, individualized to each student, and a long term lesson plan to accomplish the main objectives of a class. I like a more hands-on approach, walking through step by step initially and then letting the student apply what they have learned on their own so they can adopt the skill until it comes naturally.

Details

I tutor in English and rhetoric, and I also have some experience teaching English, grammar, and ballet at an orphanage in Malaysia. I am highly proficient in the field of English, from fundamentals such as grammar, spelling, and vocabulary to more advanced topics such as college essay writing and literary analysis. I also have some experience with Special Education (ADD/ADHD students) and 17 years of ballet experience, having danced at Joffrey Ballet School and American Ballet Theatre two summers here in Manhattan. For English and rhetoric for a UC Berkeley lower division class, I turned an averaging B- student to an A for his final paper. I have received an A in every single English class I have taken at UC Berkeley, and I also received an A+ in a notoriously difficult legal studies summer class, as well. I am patient, kind, diligent, and prioritize the student’s learning, because I really truly do want them to succeed.
