About Ellie
My name is Ellie Faith and I am an experienced primary school classroom teacher and have specialised handwriting tuition training. I am a teacher at The King's School and have co-authored an international journal article in inclusive education. I value the opportunity to help students improve in their learning. I provide tailored activities and expert guidance to help students become their very best.

The lessons are customised based upon student needs. I speak to the parents before the first lesson and hear from you about the student. If the parent is comfortable, I will examine their school report and current classwork in English to determine which areas the student needs further consolidation of their skills.
The lessons will have tailored instruction to meet the areas of need for the student. For instance; conducting a novel study together to target inferential reading comprehension, develop comprehension strategies, how to analyse unfamiliar vocabulary, as well as using evidence from the text to form sophisticated verbal and written comprehension responses.
Another example of my tutoring methodology is: employing the Modelled - Guided - Independent writing instruction method to develop a student's persuasive writing ability. Firstly, we would examine the key language features of a persuasive writing text, such as high modality words, emotive language and sophisticated vocabulary. Secondly, we would look at key examples of persuasive texts and analyse the written structure as well as the formation of the arguments. Thirdly, we would engage in guided written practice, with timely and specific feedback. Lastly, independent writing would be coupled with writing conferences to further consolidate sophisticated writing skills.
I also conduct handwriting tuition, as I have specialised Spalding handwriting training. Lessons will have tailored instruction, and custom activities made by myself, to improve the speed, legibility and efficiency of handwriting, as well as increase endurance of hand muscles. I tutor students from Year 3-12, but most commonly focus upon Year 9-12 students for HSC and IB written exam preparation. A baseline speed of handwriting endorsed by HSC English teachers is 1000 words in 50 minutes (the standard duration of an essay portion of an exam, and expected word total). However, this handwriting pace does not allow for full essay completion as well as planning, editing and time to think. I tutor my students to write 1000 words in 35 minutes, which optimises their ability to succeed in exams and in-class essays.

I've known Ellie for about 10 years since we were at Uni together, where she was a diligent student and scholar. She's always pushed herself to do her best, and I'm confident she knows how to help others do their best with care and encouragement. She's full of life and fun and always brings a smile to my face as I'm sure she does for everyone she's around.
Ellie is a thorough, meticulous and outstanding teacher who truly delights in helping her students succeed- not only academically but holistically. If you entrust yourself and your learning journey into Ellie’s hands, you’ll find yourself reaching your goals, learning to love the growth process, and being positively impacted by her individualistic teaching approach. Ellie was my colleague at The King’s School, and asides from diligently fulfilling her teaching role, she went out of her way in her collegiality. Choose Ellie as your tutor, you’ll be grateful you did!
Ellie is kind, patient, and respectful towards her students and celebrates their successes. She tailors her teaching to a student's strengths and interests. She makes learning engaging and fun. Ellie is a great teacher.
Ellie goes above and beyond being a tutor to my 2 kids- one in high school, another in primary , who looks forward to their lesson with Ellie each week.She tailors her approach for each child and provides detailed evaluation after each lessons. That’s important for me as a parent to see real time progress and I am impressed with the level of progress my children have made just within 2 wks of starting with Ellie. I highly recommend Ellie!
