As an ENGLISH TUTOR - I offer homework support for students as well as supplemental classes to build skills in reading compression, vocabulary, and writing. In addition to promoting students’ academic success, I’m always excited to encourage creative thinking and expression through reading and writing.

If you’re stuck in your schoolwork or exploring storytelling as a creative outlet, my unique approach and expertise might be perfect for you!
__________________________________
As a THEATER TEACHER - I offer private coaching and classes in acting techniques for all levels, audition prep, monologue sourcing and coaching, the college audition process, devised theater, and Shakespeare (a personal favorite subject of mine). Younger students may also be interested in sessions built around imaginative movement and play.

I’ve taught theater professionally with various schools and arts organizations, and making theater education exciting, encouraging, and accessible to students of all ages and backgrounds is a passion of mine.

Theater

I hold a BA in Theater from UCLA and have acted in over 20 productions over the last decade across theater, film, and radio. I have additional training from the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco and the Independent Shakespeare Company in LA. As a teaching artist, I have directed youth theater, privately coached actors of varying skill and experience levels, and hosted classes and workshops in a range of subjects, including audition technique, acting fundamentals, and Shakespeare (one of my favorites to teach!).

Extremely Helpful!

Elana was great! She was very knowledgeable about adapting scripts. She answered all of my questions and I now feel confident about the assignment we worked on. Highly recommend!

Amazing Tutor! Encouraging, Upbeat & Positive

I used Elana to help me write a blank verse poem in iambic pentameter and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be utilizing Elana again for writing other poems!

Wonderful tutor!

We feel so fortunate to have found Elana! Patient, kind, uber-prepared, and fun, she has made tutoring sessions engaging and productive for our daughter. We highly recommend Elana to anyone looking for a superb tutor for their child.

positive, fun, and knowledgable

We were very impressed with Elana. My kids had a lot of fun. They had their acting lesson on Friday evening. It was the perfect start to the weekend. I was planning on catching up with work during their lesson, but instead my husband and I pulled up chairs to watch. They were so funny!

Great with high schoolers

Elana helped my Freshman brother review and understand Romeo and Juliet. He liked her teaching style, friendliness, and flexibility. I gave her his study material ahead of time and was prepared to tutor. Most importantly, my brother learned and got a much better grade on his book final than last semester!

Fantastic Acting, Tutor/Coach

Elana really knows the craft of acting and can engage you in shaping your performance and making your characters more relatable and believable. She has the experience and can also communicate the important elements that you are looking for- which is a rarity. I recommend her highly!
