I work with students who are not thriving in the public, private, or home-school environment, either due to learning disabilities or because their learning style differs from that being offered in the classroom. Because not all students learn in the same way or at the same pace, I use an individualized approach—often incorporating art and games—to help build confidence and improve grades.
As a private tutor I am able to assess my students to determine where they are struggling. I work w…

Testimonials
Kelly S. from Staunton, VA Ellen has been a complete delight to have for a tutor for the summer for our daughter. Our daughter has special needs and Ellen has taught us and her new coping skills to deal with the needs. She is a delight with our daughter and a delight to talk to and to work with. I would suggest anyone seeking out a tutor to contact Ellen. I wish we could have more time together, but school shall begin soon. Thank you for posting her and I give her four out of four stars.
Pamela R. from Charlottesville, VA Ellen is really on the ball with my twins. Each has their own way of learning and Ellen has the ability to make it a positive and productive hour for each of them. It shows on their grades. No better evidence. Thank you Ellen!!
Fatima B. from Charlottesville, VA I would recommend Ellen to anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable tutor with a flexible schedule. She helped me achieved better results in a short time frame.
Mary M. from Penn Laird, VA Ellen was a great "find" in a tutor. She was able to help my son (7th grade) in all subject areas, assist with organization, test prep, remedial skills and writing. She utilized various online tools to supplement the school materials which really helped to reduce the tedium of the bland work sheets that came home from the class. She used creative strategies to help my son remain engaged in his work, and was able to truly set the expectation with my son to accept ownership of his work and his efforts related to his school work-product. Ellen went above and beyond her session time with him to input weekly vocabulary into an online program that was far more effective for my son than just writing sentences or doing flash cards. She was a willing and valuable team member in brainstorming strategies for improved learning both at school and at home, and was always willing to communicate directly with teachers, if needed. I highly recommend Ellen for anyone looking for a tutor who is experienced, knowledgeable and willing to go the "extra mile" for her students.
