Anonymous, 31 lessons with EllenWe are grateful to have Ellen as my son’s tutor. My son (1st grader) is pretty shy and Ellen has been very patient and understanding. She knows how to work with kids very well and just the right way to encourage them, and was able to get my son to open up over time. My son enjoys her tutor sessions and has made big progress. I would definitely recommend her.

Knowledgable and patient tutor
Ms. Ellen is very nice and knowledgable tutor. My daughter has some issue with attention. Ms Ellen is very patient and friendly to teach my daughter how to take notes and how to make her study more interesting by combining her drawing interest into the note taking. My daughter usually doesn't like her tutor, but Ms. Ellen is an exception. Ms. Ellen really knows how to talk and how to listen to kids, and how to build a comformtable and trustable relationship with kids instead of just teaching them knowledge. She is more like a metor for kids. I think in some way, my daughter treats her like her grandma. It is hard to find a tutor who teaches by heart and Ms. Ellen is one of them.

Patient and helpful tutor keeps things interesting
Ellen has done an amazing job helping my fourth grader. She keeps the sessions interesting by using different games and activities and is able to hold my son's attention for the entire session. My son can get easily distracted. Ellen is very patient with him and uses different techniques to keep him engaged in learning.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
After getting to know my son, Ellen has began working with him to address his weaknesses. She is patient and gets along well with her students. She prepares thoroughly for each session and has helped my son immensely. I wholeheartedly recommend her to those who are looking for a tutor.

Ellen did a great job helping me with a psychology lab assignment that was difficult to do. She was able to make each sentences clear and recommend words that have better flow in the page. Overall, I had a great session with her.
