Educator. Mentor. Advocate for Student Growth.

Xavier Ellsworth is an experienced educator dedicated to helping students develop the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to thrive. Raised in Washington, DC, his commitment to service began through volunteer work as an EMT and a year of service with City Year, where he supported students in Southeast Washington.

These experiences shaped his belief in the transformative power of meaningful relationships and purposeful instruction. Xavier went on to earn an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Dean College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Creative Writing concentration from Manhattanville University. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership.

Since 2020, Xavier has served as a classroom teacher at Icahn Charter School 6, a National Blue Ribbon School in the Bronx. Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, he will join the faculty of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School in Washington, DC, as a fourth-grade teacher.

A Personalized Approach

Every student has the potential to achieve. Xavier’s approach to tutoring is grounded in thoughtful instruction, high expectations, and genuine connection.

Through Xavier Ellsworth Tutoring Services, he provides individualized instruction in mathematics, reading, writing, and study skills, with lessons designed around each student’s strengths, goals, and areas for growth.

The goal extends beyond academic improvement. Students are encouraged to become confident, capable, and increasingly independent learners.

A commitment to Meaningful Growth

Beyond the classroom, Xavier leads enrichment programs, coaches athletics, and serves as Camp Director at Home Run Baseball Camp in Washington, DC. His work across education, mentorship, and youth development continues to shape his approach to teaching.

At the heart of his work is a simple belief: where effort is made, achievement follows.

Through purposeful instruction, meaningful encouragement, and consistent support, Xavier helps students approach learning with greater confidence, develop their strengths, and achieve with intention.
