About Me
Nice to meet you! My name is Elle, and I’m an engineering and writing student at University of California, Davis. For nearly eight years, I have specialized in tutoring high school students for math and writing. However, since joining MPP, I have branched out to also include tutoring science and college readiness for elementary to university-level students. I love building connections with each one of my students and I prioritize my student’s comfort, wellbeing, and learning in each of my sessions. In my spare time, I enjoy participating in clubs on campus, crocheting clothes, hanging out with my friends, and baking pastries. I also enjoy visiting the beach and traveling the world. I look forward to connecting with you and your student!

Philanthropy / Volunteering Experience
Throughout high school, I was very active in my community. I enjoyed volunteering at the local hospital and at the community library. I especially enjoyed teaching elementary students how to play musical instruments like the recorder and flute. I continue to perform volunteer work while attending school in Davis as part of my role in the UC Davis Student Alumni Association. The association often helps a wide range of people including students, alumni, and elderly in Davis.
