About Elena:

I have a high level of education in my field (Writing/ English), which includes an AA in Journalism, a BA in English, an MA in Writing and 80% completed of a second MA in English Education. As well, I possess a varied teaching background that includes the Department of Education, Sylvan Learning Center, and teaching at-risk youth.

Some of the reasons I teach: the joy on my students' faces when they have written and acted out their own plays; the pride on my face, not to mention my students', when a 17-year-old who started the program with a 3rd grade reading level achieves a 6th grade score on her final TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) and qualifies for a place in a more advanced program; the dedication in my heart and soul to help my students achieve their greatest levels of success.

Overall, I feel quite confident that I am the type of teacher you seek.

Learn More About Elena's Experience:

grammar

In addition to my Master's in Writing from Queens College, my experience includes teaching a continuing education class (Grammar Refresher for Adults), three graduate-level courses in grammar (Intermediate Linguistics, The History of the English Language, and Structures of Modern English) and three years teaching 8th grade Language Arts.

proofreading

I feel confident that my experience in revising the novel I wrote for my Master's thesis is a good example of my proof-reading skills. Additionally, I have taught many writing classes (8th grade, SAT prep, continuing education) which utilized my proof-reading skills.

study skills

My level of education (I am currently completing my second Master's) speaks to my superior study skills. Additionally, my experience teaching study skills with Sylvan Learning Centers has given me a solid background in study skills.
