Eliana Levey is an experienced elementary educator and literacy tutor who specializes in supporting students in grades K–6 with reading, writing, and mathematics. She has extensive training in evidence-based instructional practices and is committed to helping children build strong academic foundations while developing confidence and independence as learners.

Eliana currently teaches second grade at SAR Academy in the Bronx, where she designs and implements differentiated lessons that meet the needs of diverse learners. In addition to her classroom role, she works privately with students to provide individualized tutoring that is structured, systematic, and engaging. Families appreciate her ability to combine warmth with rigor, creating an environment where children feel supported while also being challenged to grow.

Previously, Eliana taught kindergarten at Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community Day School in Baltimore, where she fostered both academic and social-emotional growth through individualized and play-based learning. She also taught kindergarten at Brilla College Prep Elementary School in the Bronx, where she implemented a structured curriculum, monitored student progress, and adapted lessons to ensure each child’s success. Across these roles, she has been recognized for her thoughtful communication with families and her ability to create learning environments where children feel both safe and motivated.

Eliana’s tutoring practice reflects her expertise in structured literacy and conceptual math instruction. She is trained in multi-sensory, research-based approaches aligned with the Science of Reading, including Orton-Gillingham and Fundations. In literacy, she supports students with phonics, decoding, fluency, spelling, comprehension, and written expression, tailoring lessons to each child’s learning profile. She also incorporates principles of the Hochman Method (The Writing Revolution) to strengthen sentence structure, paragraph development, and written clarity. In mathematics, Eliana draws on the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach, most prominently seen in Singapore Math, to guide students from hands-on exploration to visual modeling and finally to abstract reasoning. This developmental framework helps children not only master math procedures but also understand the underlying concepts and apply problem-solving strategies with confidence.

Eliana also incorporates her training in Responsive Classroom and Culturally Responsive Teaching to create learning environments that are inclusive, encouraging, and student-centered. She continues to pursue professional development in both literacy and math instruction to remain aligned with the most effective, research-based practices, ensuring that her students benefit from approaches that are both current and impactful.

She earned her Master of Arts in Education for Grades 1–6 from Relay Graduate School of Education in New York and graduated magna cum laude from American University in Washington, D.C. Her academic achievements reflect the discipline and intellectual curiosity that now shape her teaching and tutoring practice.

As both a classroom teacher and private tutor, Eliana is deeply committed to helping her students discover their own potential. Whether she is guiding a beginning reader through phonics, supporting a young writer in expanding sentences with vivid detail, or coaching a child through a challenging math concept, she brings patience, creativity, and expertise to each lesson. For Eliana, the most rewarding moments come when a child realizes they are capable of more than they believed. She takes pride in helping students not only master academic skills but also develop resilience, curiosity, and joy in learning.
