Testimonials
Madelina N. from Alexandria, VA Ms. Ellen is an honest teacher. She is not afraid to tell me on areas of grammar/writing where I really need to work on improving. She is detailed in her explanation of areas I do not understand and if she doesn't know Ms. Ellen is not afraid to admit that she is not sure of the answer and that she will look into my questions and will get back to me. When she points out places where she thinks I can improve, she also gives me lengthy examples so I can see/understand better what she means which makes it easier to make changes in my writing.
Heyam I. from Falls Church, VA I'm really enjoying all my lesson so far with Ellen, she is very smart and knows how to meet all my needs and helping at my weak area of writing. Thanks Ellen
Silvia O. from Arlington, VA She is enthusiastic about the subject, organized with clear outline of class objectives. She has a great deal of practical experience in her field, easily accessible, always on time and very easy-going. It is a pleasure to have her as a teacher.
Ali A. from Washington, DC Ellen is a very resourceful, knowledgeable, articulate, and well-organized tutor. I am extremely satisfied with her way of teaching and delivering the material we agreed on together; I strongly recommend her for those who look to advance their writing skills at any level. Her handouts, supplementary online resources, and practice exercises helped me a lot in simplifying sentence structures, improving my writing technique, developing meaningful vocabulary, and avoiding redundancy. In spite of her commitment to our lesson schedule, she was always easily accessible by phone or email to discuss tutoring?related issues. She has become my accredited source to whom I turn back for answers when I am uncertain. I wish I could continue to learn from her, but unfortunately family and business matters have intervened to interrupt my studies.
Carlos R. from Woodbridge, VA Immediate noticeable improvement in communications skills. Ellen's lessons are tailored to meet specific needs and improve existing skills. Lessons are a great for any graduate students doing research work or simply looking looking for successful grades and follow up professional career.
Juan T. from Alexandria, VA In just a week working with Ellen, I have learned a lot and I already noticed my improvement. I will continue working with her.
Norah A. from Arlington, VA As a student whose first language isn't English, Ellen is extremely patient and gives me detailed feedback on how to write a well-organized paper! I love her work.
