Elena is a respected tutor in our community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. An excellent choice to progress with confidence.
About Elena
I began tutoring while earning a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing at CalArts. I spent two years working at their Writing Center, where I improved student writing skills by assessing their needs, providing feedback, exploring approaches to writing and editing, and sharing tools for self-directed proofreading. I have since worked as a freelance tutor and, since last year, as a member of the tutoring team at Classroom Matters, an award-winning learning center. In addition to tutoring writing, I have provided my students (both neurodivergent and neurotypical) with executive function skills.

Hello! I’m Elena, a writer and educator passionate about empowering students in their learning journeys. With a deep commitment to fostering student agency, I collaborate with my students to problem solve and give them control over their educational experiences.
I have extensive experience teaching writing to young people ages 11 to 18, as well as to undergraduate and graduate students. My teaching experience includes supporting students with academic essays, personal essays, creative writing, college essays, grant applications, and art criticism.
As a writer myself, I am adept at finding creative solutions to writing challenges and offer my students a variety of tools for every stage of the writing process. My goal is not only to help students improve their writing but also to provide them with the space to explore their own writing and learning styles. This enables them to become their own problem solvers and advocates.
I consider myself a collaborator in the learning process, believing that every student brings valuable knowledge and expertise to our tutoring sessions. By working together, we can unlock their full potential and achieve their academic and creative goals.

Elena is an incredible teacher! She asks great questions that help me think and come up with my own ideas and answers. I never felt like I was properly taught writing in school, so I spent years lacking confidence. She's not only made me feel confident but has made me realize how much a love writing. She started out teaching me academic and professional writing, but we have since been doing more creative writing. She always has fun prompts and ideas and has made the whole learning process really enjoyable. If you want to improve your writing, you should definitely work with Elena!
Elena has a unique talent for improving critical thinking as well as writing. She's kind, open and encouraging and really took the time to understand my daughter, who absolutely loves her. I saw profound improvements in my daughter's writing and thinking within the first month of their working together, and she's only improved since then. I highly recommend Elena as a tutor.
I cannot express how grateful I am for Elena! When my son started working with her, he hated writing and was resistant to help. But Elena's easygoing style made him feel instantly comfortable. She's a great listener and always encouraging. She worked with him on his academic writing and, later, on his college essays. He's now in his first-choice school and is much more comfortable and confident in his school work.
