Hi! Im Ellyx, an enthusiastic educator who has spent the last seven years working with elementary aged children with varying learning abilities and styles. This experience has helped me to develop my own unique teaching style as well as ability to make any subject matter interesting. I want to help all scholars to achieve their academic goals with a style and pace that makes them feel confident about their abilities.

...Science. I have been tutoring Math, Science and English since junior year of high school and love working with students of all ages. I understand the fear and stigma around Mathematics and strive to help students not only learn the material but also to feel comfortable and confident in their abilities.

I believe that any student can achieve anything they want with the right guidance. I have successfully taught students from middle school to undergrad in wide ranging subjects from biology to chemistry to databases to US history.

...since high school, I've grown to love watching a student's face light up after realizing they finally understand. There's nothing better than knowing you helped them get to that point. Currently a senior at BYU, I study Interdisciplinary Humanities and English. I'm the oldest of a large family in Maryland, just outside of DC.
