About Elaina
About my approach:
As an educator and coach, I prioritize curiosity and comfort in my learning environment. Students are always creative, insightful, and possess their own unique voices, and it is my utmost passion and privilege to facilitate the discovery of a student's creative voice through their interests, natural questions, and perspectives. I view education as a collaborative process where we come together to open up a space to explore. While testing may prioritize correct answers, quick decisions, and strategy, it is my goal that our sessions will feel free and connected, allowing students to build genuine meaning and relationship with their own writing and work.
A little about my experience:
I have spent the last five years developing my approach in teaching writing and language arts to high schoolers, college students, and adults in various settings and in writing across disciplines. From working at the Indiana University Writing Center during my undergraduate career, to teaching English as a second language, I have come to love helping students feel connected to their writing and the language they use.
My personality:
I am an avid reader, writer, and gamer, and I absolutely love exploring nature, especially with my dog, Migi, who you may see in session from time to time. Jokes, playfulness, and side tangents are an important part of hard work to me, and students have been known to get me side tracked from time to time with their interests, concerns, and their stories. When there is extra time, I love opportunities for students to share an interest, a talent (I myself love to sing, paint, and play piano and ukulele). I believe the relationship with the tutor is pivotal to student success, and I also highly value your personal goals, so I equally love to be that accountability person and coach to help steer you where you want to be.

Sessions with me are flexible and all about meeting your needs. From honing in on the requirements of an assignment, building skill in a particular area for test prep, or finding your voice as a young writer, it’s important to me that you are centered in and leading the session. It’s my intention to facilitate various materials and activities to nurture and mature your thought process so that you become independently proficient in what you need or desire to learn. In other words, I have no desire to lecture you or give you the answers, but with time and dedication, I will help you become your own best resource to resolve any issue you’re facing.

Elaina is truly the best tutor a student at any level in their writing journey could ask for! I went to school with Elaina and she was consistently praised and awarded by faculty for her writing abilities. It was always extremely helpful to have Elaina’s guidance on AP Literature essays, as she helped our group skillfully interpret and comprehend the complexities of Shakespeare. Not only is she exemplary in helping students produce top quality material, she is phenomenal at helping others create materials that they are truly proud of. Additionally, Elaina has a compassionate and encouraging demeanor at all times and utilizes her communication skills to help explain concepts to students in ways that make sense to them. She is reliable and trustworthy. Anyone would benefit greatly by having Elaina as a tutor, mentor, or colleague!
Elaina has been a very effective tutor to me. She has been able to understand my thought process, and has helped me approach a problem or prompt in a way that leverages my strengths. I have been truly impressed with how she is able to convey concepts, which allowed me to make connections to things that never really clicked before. I am very grateful for the time and feedback I received from Elaina, and feel better prepared because of it.
I personally know Elaina. She is just good with what she does. I know first hand, with how passionate she is to teach others. She's helped me on many different occasions and never disappoints! She will make you feel confident, with her expertise.
She has taught me a great deal. She is patient, empathetic, intuitive, and one of the best writers I know. Kids love her!
