Excellent tutor!
To all who are considering a tutor, I highly recommend Ellie. My daughter was having a difficult time in her US History class and we were concerned about her being able to pass the regents. So I hired Ellie. The minute she stepped through the door I knew I made the right choice. She was friendly and relatable. My moody teenaged daughter loved her and trust me that doesn't happen often. Ellie was extremely patient and yet didn't tolerate excuses. My daughter became so proficient in her history class that she began tutoring her classmates. Needless to say, she passed with flying colors and so did her friends which is a testament to Ellie'e skills as a tutor. Ellie was always on time, accommodating and easy to reach. My only regret is that I didn't find her in my daughter's freshman year which would have made a tremendous difference in her overall GPA. Again, I recommend Ellie to everyone without reservation.

Dependable, student-friendly, a motivator
Ellie was the tutor to one of my students and she taught her SAT English. She was able to motivate her towards studies, motivate her to read appropriate novels in a short time. My student seemed quite pleased with her teaching and the lessons went on till she took the actual SAT exam.

Amazing! Will definitely use her again.
As parents we want someone who can get our kids where they need to be academically, but I also think, we want someone who can help us, as parents, to do the same. Ellie is that someone. Ellie started tutoring my son in March until the end of August 2015 he was in 2nd grade at the time. She is extremely knowledgeable not just on the academic side, but also in terms of the social and emotional side of what helps a child learn. She always put the comfort of my son first. I was very happy with the fact that Ellie challenged my son by introducing him to math and math concepts that were above his grade level at the time. She knew that math was his favorite subject, and capitalized on that. Ellie had him simplifying, dividing, and multiplying, fractions and mixed fractions. He is in 3rd grade now and is doing extremely well. He's improved in his reading fluency, and is really developing a love for writing, thanks to the work that Ellie did with him, and the advice she gave us. She lets you know all the things your child will need in the beginning. She also makes use of technology in her teaching methods, like apps you can download and use with your child on your own. She even started teaching him beginner finger placement for typing, on her ipad. Ellie uses enough different techniques to keep a child interested and engaged. She was always available to answer questions, and always open to input from us. If you want a tutor that can put both yourself and your child at ease, who is very competent, who makes use of EVERY minute they are with your child, and who your child will genuinely love working with, so you will see results, Ellie is the tutor for you!

Great Tutor
Ellie prepared my son for the Lower Level ISEE test. She was always very professional, punctual and pleasant; my son was comfortable working with her from the first session. My son says, "She was a great tutor and she made studying fun by giving me activities that were not too hard for my level but not too easy. She gave me challenges and kept pushing me to do better. I felt well-prepared for the test, thanks to her." We highly recommend Ellie!

Awesome Tutor
Ellie has been tutoring my son for the GED for about 2 months, she is wonderful! She is very patient, encouraging, and professional and also makes the lessons very personable. My son is very comfortable with her and actually looks forward to his next tutoring session. Ellie also keeps me up to date with emails of their sessions and is detailed with what they have worked on and what he needs improvement with, as well as what he has accomplished. I would most definitely recommend Ellie, she is awesome!
