About Ellise May
I am a passionate and patient English literacy tutor with over 11 years of experience working in an American curriculum international school. My expertise lies in helping children from Pre-K to Grade 5 develop strong skills in reading, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, and communication.
As an Assistant Librarian and literacy educator, I have spent years turning books into adventures and helping young learners discover that reading is not a chore—it’s a superpower! I believe every child learns differently, so my teaching style is fun, encouraging, and filled with stories, games, creativity, and plenty of “aha!” moments.
I hold a Library Studies Certificate from IAP Career College and have extensive experience teaching literacy, storytelling, genres, and research skills. My goal is to create a warm online classroom where children feel comfortable making mistakes, asking lots of questions, and celebrating every small achievement.
A little fun fact about me: I can spend hours surrounded by books and still get excited by the smell of a brand-new book! You’ll often find me recommending stories, creating fun reading challenges, and proving to my students that even the biggest readers were once children who struggled with their ABCs.
My mission is simple: to help children become confident readers while making every lesson enjoyable, interactive, and something they look forward to each week!

My online English lessons are designed to help children become confident readers, writers, and communicators in a fun and supportive environment. With 11 years of experience working in an American curriculum international school, I specialize in teaching Pre-K to Grade 5 students in reading, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, and English comprehension.
Each lesson is personalized based on your child’s learning level, goals, and pace. I use engaging stories, interactive activities, games, and practical exercises to make learning enjoyable while developing strong literacy skills.
I can help your child improve:
* Reading fluency and comprehension
* Phonics and pronunciation
* Spelling and vocabulary
* Grammar and sentence construction
* Speaking confidence
* Homework and school support
As a certified Library Studies professional with extensive experience in children’s literacy, I believe every child can develop a love for reading with the right guidance, patience, and encouragement.
My goal is not only to improve your child’s English skills but also to build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for books and learning.
