“Ellen has an easy-going disposition which my sixth grade son loves. She has had such a positive impact on my son! In three short months Miles has gone from believing he might not pass his first year of middle school to believing he can be an honor roll student! We have received numerous emails and phone call messages from his teacher saying what a great change in Miles they have noticed. Thank you, thank you Ms Wood!”

“As the only math teacher at Respect Academy, Ellen has taught every subject that the district offers in that content area. When a child walks into her class, there is no doubt that they will be provided with a sound educational experience that includes diverse learning activities, a variety of assessment methods, and multiple opportunities to succeed... the simple fact is, when students leave her class they have a strong grasp of math concepts and are able to apply that knowledge to the real world.”
