Rhonda Ellis
Hi! I’m Rhonda Ellis. I have lived on the south side of Houston for most of my life. I graduated from Howard Payne University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education with a focus in mathematics for junior high, including Algebra 1. I hold a lifetime Texas teaching certificate, and I have been teaching for a total of 19 years. After teaching both elementary in Fort Bend ISD and junior high math in Dickinson ISD, I took some time off to stay home with my children. During this time, I began tutoring students of all ages in math, 3rd grade through college algebra, and I enjoyed helping them to build confidence and become successful in math. I also had the privilege of homeschooling my oldest 3 children for a year.
My husband and I still live south of Houston with our five children, who are currently 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years old. Most of our time this last year has been spent putting our house back together after Hurricane Harvey, but we are looking forward to completing that project and moving forward in other areas. We are beginning the process of planting a church this year.
I absolutely love math! I come from a family of educators who invested in me and taught me to love learning in so many creative ways every day. I believe this is why I enjoy math so much, and I have made it my goal over the last 19 years to help students love learning as well. I love the logic of math, and I love the feeling I get when I have solved a tough problem! My greatest joy in teaching is when I can see a student get to the place where they develop a sense of confidence in math. I am constantly looking for new ideas to help explain things in a way that makes sense, and I believe that my experience teaching a wide range of ages and levels gives me the ability to help all students become successful regardless of any previous struggles they may have had in math. It would be a privilege to share my love for math with your child this year!
