Ella: Orland Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a rising senior at Wake Forest University, where I am double majoring in Philosophy and Politics and International Affairs with a minor in Psychology. I am currently studying for the LSAT, as I intend to attend law school after my graduation from Wake Forest.

I have been tutoring students for about four years. I started tutoring in 2021, when I began working as an instructor at Mathnasium. There, I assisted mostly elementary- and middle school-aged students with their competency and comfort in their math studies. When I moved away to college, I began tutoring through Wake Forest's volunteer virtual tutoring program, where I tutor mostly middle school-aged students in Math and English. I absolutely love working with students, as it is so rewarding to see students grow and become more confident in their studies.

While I tutor both Math and English/Reading/Writing, my favorite subject to tutor is Math. A certain explanation for a given concept may not click for every student, so I love coming up with creative explanations for math concepts that may be a little easier for different learners to understand. My teaching philosophy is one of creativity and flexibility, as I have learned through experience that there is no one-size-fits-all approach that is guaranteed to work for every student.
