Academic Coaching

Whatever your particular need - Reading, Writing, ESL, Spanish, Math, Focus, Organization, Motivation, Re-Teaching, or Re-Pairing - Ellen Pollis knows how to assess what is going on in your mind and body. More importantly, she knows how to help you be mindful, and to move through and beyond those challenges with your confidence in tact. Many students enjoy working with Ellen, and she enjoys serving them as their compassionate and patient guide. She affirms that students will do well if they can do well, so she often finds herself helping students to re-build and cross bridges of understanding that got lost somewhere back in the mess of earlier learning and teaching. She is trained in the Orton-Gillingham method of reading interventions, a historically successful methodology.
