Hello!
My name is Ellen Douglass, and I have been teaching literature, writing, and English to university and high school students for 30 years. I have a PhD in literature from Brown University, a license to teach high school English, and Master Certification in teaching English as a Second Language. I offer private tutoring to high school and college students and adults, in literature from the classics to the modern period, writing in a wide range of genres, and ESL. I tutor both in-person and online.
I'm easy to talk to, patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. My students tell me I'm good at explaining things simply and clearly. I create a relaxed, judgement-free space where you can ask questions, take risks, and make mistakes. Mistakes are opportunities for learning. I have a proven record of success supporting students to build lasting skills and reach their learning goals.
We begin with a free consultation so I can learn how best to help you. From there, I tailor instruction to your unique learning style and objectives. I offer a sliding-scale fee structure so my services are accessible to students from diverse financial backgrounds.
Please reach out with questions or to schedule your free consultation. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!
