My name is Ellie Josephson and I am the founding chapter member of Kid By Kid at the San Diego Jewish Academy. I am a ninth grader at SDJA where I have been enrolled since Kindergarden. I love Math and I love helping others. I plan to one day go to medical school and become a doctor (not sure my specialty yet)! Kid by Kid has allowed me to help others and give back to my community. I love my weekly sessions and look forward to continuing tutoring through high school and beyond!

My favorite subjects at school are English and History as I prefer to have some creative flexibility. I have mostly tutored math and English with Kid By Kid and I always try to work with the students and adjust to their learning needs. I find the process of getting to know a new student to be fun and interesting. I've moved around a lot so I'm familiar with the struggles of starting at a new school and learning a new language (English is my third). I want to help others who may be struggling at school. I have been tutoring with KBK for around a month and have found the experience to be very rewarding. I like connecting with others and I enjoy the teaching process. I often find that as I'm teaching I'll understand something better myself, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.
