About Elena
Hello! My name is Elena and I am a Licensed Master of Social Work(LMSW) from Connecticut with a strong passion for education. I recently completed my graduate degree in social work and have decided to focus on tutoring as a way to stay connected to the world of academia, which I deeply miss. With eight years of experience in tutoring and teaching, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to help my students succeed.
Within my career as a social worker, my target population is kids and families. My background in social work has equipped me with a unique understanding of different learning styles and abilities. I am creative in my teaching methods to ensure that all students, regardless of their level, can benefit from my classes. I have worked with students with ADHD, anxiety, and other mental health challenges, as well as those facing stressful external factors.
Outside of work, I have a rescue dog named Miko, who has been with me for a little over a year.
I am excited to share my knowledge and help my students achieve their academic goals. My commitment to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment is at the core of my tutoring philosophy. Let's work together to reach new heights in your educational journey!

My teaching approach is student-centered, emphasizing interactive and practical learning. Due to my social work background, I am keenly aware of different learning styles and abilities. I can get creative to ensure that students of all levels can benefit from my classes. My techniques include:
1. Active Learning: Encouraging students to engage with the material through discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on activities.
2. Scaffolded Instruction: Breaking down complex concepts into smaller, manageable parts and gradually increasing the difficulty as the student gains confidence.
3. Formative Assessment: Regular, informal assessments to gauge understanding and adjust instruction accordingly.
4. Multimodal Teaching: Incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles to cater to different preferences.
5. Feedback Loop: Providing timely and constructive feedback to help students improve continuously.
A Typical Lesson Plan (Not limited to this format depending on what best fits the student's learning style)
1. Warm-Up (5-10 minutes): Brief review of previous material and an overview of the day’s objectives.
2. Introduction (10-15 minutes): Presenting the new topic through a short lecture, video, or interactive discussion.
3. Guided Practice (20-25 minutes): Working through examples together, answering questions, and clarifying doubts.
4. Independent Practice (20-30 minutes): Allowing students to work on exercises or projects independently, with support available as needed.
5. Review and Recap (10 minutes): Summarizing key points, addressing any remaining questions, and previewing the next lesson.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
1. Expertise in Social Work: With a graduate degree in social work, I bring a unique perspective that combines academic knowledge with practical experience.
2. Extensive Experience: Eight years of tutoring and teaching experience across various subjects and educational levels.
3. Personalized Approach: Customized lesson plans and teaching strategies tailored to each student’s learning style and needs.
4. Empathy and Patience: Strong interpersonal skills that foster a supportive and encouraging learning environment.
5. Specialized Support: Experience working with students with ADHD, anxiety, other mental health implications, and those facing stressful external factors.
6. Commitment to Growth: Continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest educational techniques and technologies.
Target Audience for Lessons
My lessons are designed for:
1. High School Students: Those needing support in social sciences, psychology, sociology, and related subjects.
2. Undergraduate Students: Particularly those studying social work, psychology, or other related fields, seeking help with coursework, research, and practical applications.
3. Graduate Students: Individuals pursuing advanced degrees in social work or similar disciplines, requiring assistance with thesis writing, research methodology, and fieldwork preparation.
By adapting to the specific needs and goals of each student, I aim to provide a comprehensive and enriching educational experience that empowers them to achieve their full potential.
