Ellie Puglia

“I believe all students can make meaningful progress with the right support and encouragement.”
I am an experienced elementary teacher who specializes in supporting students with diverse learning needs. My focus includes targeted interventions in reading and math, executive functioning coaching, and parent coaching. Trained in Orton-Gillingham, Visualizing and Verbalizing, and Bridges Math, I tailor each session to meet the unique profile of every learner. My approach keeps learning positive, engaging, and motivating so students can build confidence along the way.
Additionally, I help families understand their child’s learning profile, navigate the IEP process, and advocate effectively for appropriate services.
I hold a dual certification in elementary and special education from Towson University and was honored as Teacher of the Year at my school in 2024. I take a whole learner approach, recognizing that meaningful progress comes from supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally.
