Parent Testimonials.

  • Mom of a high school senior who increased his ACT English score by 11 points after 4 sessions.

    “...your tutoring certainly was one of the main factors in him getting a better score. Thank you so much! You are awesome, and I will definitely refer you to anyone needing a tutor! You made a difference, and it made it easy for him to learn. Thank you so much."

  • Mom of two homegrown students...

    Ellie has been the best tutor we have had so far. She really goes out of her way to come up with things to help my 5th grader learn basic math. Ellie took my 8th graders math syllabus at the beginning of the year and has kept her on track all year and she currently has an A in math.

  • Mom of middle school student…

    “Since tutoring with Ellie my daughter has brought her grade up from a low C/D to a B. It has been consistent change over the last two report cards. Ellie has not only helped bring her grade up but has also boosted her confidence in her abilities. Ellie is kind, patient and excellent with children."

  • Mom of two Homegrown students...

    Ellie is amazing! I love her approach with tutoring. She likes to work on things that are coming up in the classroom so that the kids have an understanding beforehand. This really boosts their confidence. Ellie also provides material to work on even if the kids don’t have material. I highly recommend Ellie!

  • Mom of elementary age student…

    “Ellie is a wonderful tutor. My daughter started the year a bit intimidated by math. She is now very confident in that subject and the others. Ellie has been great at looking at the school's website to make sure she is helping our daughter with what she's currently learning and keeping her on track.
