About Mary-ellen
Getting to know a student during the process of tutoring is always an adventure and a delight. My students have found me fairly demanding, but always compassionate and fair.
I use many resources, like my online subscription apps which I share with students (e.g. ELLII.com, Study.com) and several of my own construction -- tips, tricks, especially.
I have worked most recently, both in person and remotely, with ELL students preparing for the IELTS and TOEFL exams - young migrant women in Athens, Greece.
As an online English tutor, I've worked with women and men , girls and boys, who are preparing for the ASVAB as well as the PSAT, and with students who struggle with punctuation, usage, grammar as well as writing.
I am certified to teach ELL and have 30years' experience, teaching writing, grammar, speech, and English literature in U.S. high schools. I love seeing the light go on when students figure out, with a little coaching, how to compose a thesis statement! And I love watching them figure out the key to a reading or grammar section of standardized tests.
In speech, especially when anxiety is an issue, I've enjoyed seeing students who are hesitant at first, grow into confident speakers and speech-givers!
I have an undergraduate degree in English (lit, writing) and a Masters in British literature.
I am also certified to teach ELL/ESL

After receiving a request, if I have questions about the specific nature of a student's interest (for a standardized test? for a class? something else?), I will respond with an idea or two. Once we meet, immediatelly after the tutorial, I send a Session Report, explaining what we did, how we did it, and what lies ahead.

I’m from Cameroon and I’m not really fluent in English. I have been working with Maryellen for a year now and i feel very connected to her . She was very patient while tutoring me and was there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to.
Working with Mary has been one of the best experiences I’ve had with a tutor. She knows how to make each lesson enjoyable and engaging. She knows exactly how to help meet individual goals. She helped me elevate my writing from a 7th grade level to a 11th grade level in just a couple of months. I can’t wait to continue to work with her in the future.
A Hard working and patient teacher who gives love, attention to students. She uses different and update methods of teaching, which is more interesting for students. You made (Essay writing) easy to me.Thank you Mary♥️♥️
She is a wonderful kinda and caring person. I have learned so much more from her then just academics.
Mary Ellen is my guru! She recently guided me through my reading of King Lear and then helped me write a paper, improving from my average of a B to an A-!
I am amazed at her brilliance. She really opened Shakespeare up for me. She told me a bit about her time at Oxford where she really came to understand Shakespeare well. And she made it fun by drawing parallels to contemporary events!
I hope to be able to stick with Mary Ellen my senior year of high school too.View more recommendations
