About Ellen
I am a professional teacher who loves seeing my students have the 'a-ha!' moment when they finally understand, or can do, something that they struggled with before. I hope that one of the reasons my students thrive under my instruction is that I am honest with them about their areas of strength and what they need to work on and I commit to celebrating their efforts as well as their achievements. I am new to Superprof, but am an experienced online tutor. I am passionate about the power of literacy and literature and aim to make ambitious English accessible to students who have not always felt like successful readers or scholars of English in the past.

Details
The initial free session is not a typical lesson, but a getting-to-know-you and diagnostic session to determine:
The student's areas of strength and where they need more support
What kind of session structure might work best for the individual student
If I am the right tutor for the student and their family.
Although sessions are online, I do require students to physically write on paper for some tasks, so they will need an exercise book or folder with paper for their tuition sessions.
Depending on what is discussed with the family and taking into account financial means, etc., I may recommend physical copies of reading material for the family to buy - this is to enhance learning, but if this is not possible for you, it is certainly not a must.
