Elementary Math and English (K-8) tutor

About Ellie

Hello! My name is Ellie. I recently relocated to the Denver (Westminster) area with my husband and we are loving the change! I am rebuilding my tutoring clientele and eager to meet some new rockstar readers!

I have taught kindergarten for 4 years in Wayzata, MN, and will be teaching first grade this coming year in the Adams 12 Five Star school district. I am also Orton-Gillingham trained. OG is a multisensory approach to reading instruction specifically designed to support kiddos with Dyslexia and other language disorders, but OG practices are beneficial for ALL early readers! I've completed 64 hours of classwork and tutored hundreds of hours with children ranging from pre-kindergarten to high school, many of which have been done using the practices of Orton-Gillingham. I am in the process of completing my 100-hour practicum to become a fully certified Orton-Gillingham Associate level tutor.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, in addition to a minor in Middle School Communications, Arts, and Literature in 2014 and my Master of Science in Reading, along with my Reading Licensure (K-12) in 2018, all from Minnesota State University, Mankato. Since then, I've enjoyed teaching four years of kindergarten!

I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to stay connected with students and my passion for teaching, even when school is not in session. It a great way to work with students who will benefit from a little additional help in a fun way! Please let me know if you have any questions about my experience or plans for tutoring. I hope that I can become your child's tutor, and help your child to achieve their academic goals!
