Elli Kapumba

Welcome to Smiles and ELA, your premier destination for personalized tutoring services remotely.

With over 5 years of experience working with children, I provide engaging, hands on tutoring designed to help students build confidence and strengthen their academic skills. I am a Resource Support Specialist experienced in working with students with IEPs, including nonverbal learners on the autism spectrum. I specialize in elementary and middle school Math, Reading, and ELA, using structured, evidence-based strategies tailored to each student’s unique learning style.

My sessions focus on reading comprehension, main idea, compare and contrast, writing development, and reading fluency while creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable learning at their own pace. What I love most about tutoring is helping students recognize their strengths, overcome challenges, and gain confidence in their abilities. My approach is individualized, interactive, and patient, ensuring every student receives the support they need to succeed academically and personally.
