Elaine

Certified Tutor

I love teaching and I have been working with kids since high school. I have experience both as a classroom teacher and a tutor and in these roles I look for ways to make learning fun and rewarding. I have a Bachelors in English and a Masters in Education. I have taught a variety of subjects and grades from Kindergarten-8th grade for over 13 marvelous years. During my teaching career, I have always tutored students in a wide range of subjects including Literature, Writing, Math, Study Skills and History. In addition to tutoring specific subjects, I think it is important to guide students to gain time management skills and a growth mindset outlook, that will help them stay organized with their learning. As well as helping students gain confidence in themselves, my hope is that the support I provide will help them gain an appreciation for learning.
My absolute favorite subject is Language Arts. My favorite thing about writing is that with each sentence, with each descriptive word, we are able to spin a beautiful tale or magical moment. I absolutely love to edit and proofread student work. This enables the student to find their literary voice, as well as perfecting a piece and molding it into its very best version.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, read, work on crafting projects and catch up on shows on Netflix.
