Inclusive math programs are designed for families who want to raise the bar, not lower the bar, of math instruction and prepare students in grades K-12 for college. Ms. Ellen makes abstract grade-level math concepts concrete and accessible for all students. Math lessons are taught using grade-level Common Core State Standards math curricula. Families can book 1:1 or small group appointments if peers want to share tutoring costs.

Academic Writing is the highest level of language development and expression. For many students, the sheer load of reading and writing assignments becomes overwhelming starting in upper elementary school and 6th grade. Ms. Ellen teaches a range of assistive tech tools that help students keep up with typical peers. These 1:1 tutoring sessions also help students practice the stages of academic research and writing necessary for success in college.

Starting in upper elementary school, students start receiving complex academic assignments that may take a month or longer to complete. Task Completion supports executive function development and reduces overwhelm and procrastination. Families can book 1:1 or small group appointments if peers want to share tutoring costs. For highly complex projects, 1:1 tutoring is ideal but small group option is also available for students who are working on the same long-term assignment.

Overwhelmed by fast approaching deadlines? Suddenly realize that your science fair project, essay assignment or term paper is due and you haven’t started? In a crisis, Ms. Ellen will help you calmly get through it. To avoid academic emergencies, book long-term Task Completion tutoring to learn how to plan and complete large academic projects step-by-step.

For families who want to learn mindfulness at their own pace, these lessons are based on a set of skills that parents and children can learn and practice together. You will find that this quiet (fun!) time together creates a therapeutic space in your home that you can return to as often as you wish. I do not limit the number of participants and welcome multi-generational family participation.

Social success is critical for a sense of self-worth and well-being. It requires a complex set of skills including effective communication, social thinking, prosocial behavior and attention skills. Ms. Ellen screens each student and develops a unique academic individual program based on ongoing, ever-evolving social goals. Rather than grouping students together randomly based on a very large eligibility category (eg: ASD), Ms. Ellen first identifies academic needs and levels re: social development and works on individual needs as well as skills needed for inclusion in small and large groups.
