About Ellie

I worked at Kumon for a year as an Early Learning Tutor. I loved my job, and my ability to connect with my students and see their progress has been truly inspiring. I could not continue working at Kumon since it was an hour's commute and I could only work on school nights. I hope to launch back into tutoring and continue to work with students. Reading and writing have always been a staple in my life, and I participate in my school's debate team and am heavily involved in my school's music and theater program. I am the president of my school's National Honor Society chapter and am a part of my school's student body government. I also participated in Poetry Out Loud and was the second runner-up in Delaware's State Finals. I am planning to go to college for Elementary and Secondary Education with a minor in child psychology. I work in my church's children's program and run a class during the service.

About the lesson

I teach logic to students in grades 7-12. I use James B. Nance's Logic curriculum. His books are Introductory to Logic and Intermediate Logic. These books teach arguments, syllogisms, fallacies, etc. and is fundamental in learning how to create arguments well. Principles that are taught in the book are crucial to being able to write a well written essay and I highly recommend learning your basics in logic.

*Disclaimer: Before beginning, students will be reminded in detail, with the presence of a parent, that all content learned during this class shall not be used against parents. Also, since the author is Christian, there are some mentions of Christianity and God in the book, but these do not affect the content that is taught.

My lessons will be centered mainly around the student's developmental progress. I will use a standard curriculum in the beginning unless your child finds it difficult to understand or keep up. Then, based on my observation of the student's performance and activities, I will comprise lessons myself based on their learning capacity. A typical lesson is usually thirty minutes for each subject. The student will have homework and memorization assignments to do outside of sessions. During the lesson, we will go over the assignments, and then learn new skills and materials. If the student has any issues with their homework from school, I will be happy to go over it with them and help them through the problems. I am a big proponent of hands-on learning and oftentimes push my students to learn how to think for themselves through logic and intrinsic thinking. I seek to learn about and understand my students beyond just their learning capabilities. I believe that children are more open to learning with someone they can trust and relate to, and I hope to maintain trust and goodwill with my students. I also ask for (at minimum) monthly student checkups with parents to discuss any issues, evaluations, or observations of the student. These checkups are to ensure that parents are involved and a significant part of their child's development.
