(28 reviews)

Elena

Graduated with a Banking and Finance MSc, and Mathematics BSc. I am patient, dedicated and extremely committed in helping you understand areas you may find difficult with Mathematics.

I attended a Grammar School, achieving A-Levels in Maths, Economics and Further Maths and also 12 A*'s and A's at GCSE.

Please feel free to contact me!

Teaching Experience

10 years of tutoring experience with students from ages 4-19. I have taught students from a range of public to private schools, such as Henrietta Barnett, The Latymer School, St Helens, JFS School, and Queen Elizabeth Boys.

Currently tutoring for GCSE and A-Levels. Experienced with AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards for both GCSE, Further Maths GCSE & A-Levels Maths and Further Maths.

Tutoring Approach

I assist students with becoming more confident in the areas where they lack confidence, through excessive practice of topic questions and past exam papers, addressing weaknesses and increasing confidence and ability.

I tailor my approach to each student based on their experience and level of knowledge of each topic.

Homework will be set at the end of each lesson to aid with their continuous learning. Most importantly, I am very patient in ensuring the student understands all the material they are required to learn.

Online tutoring: I provide the option of online tutoring once you are registered with me (You can split your lessons between face-to-face & online lessons depending on your preference). There is no requirement for a video connection from the student.

We are so lucky to meet Elena as my daughter's math tutor since March, 2022 from First Tutors. With Elena's help, my daughter was nervous at the beginning and gradually gained confidence in solving math problems. I am deeply impressed by Elena's professional and responsibility. Thank you Elena for your excellent help.

Elena is a very methodical tutor. She is fast-paced but thorough and follows an extensive teaching method. She is very prompt with setting weekly homework, marking and sending extensive feedback.

We look forward to receiving continued support and guidance for our DD.

Elena is a lovely tutor. She is teaching my daughter GCSE and will continue through A Level. She is always prepared and on time for tutorials, and my daughter is extremely happy with her teaching methods. I can already see a big difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Elena

khaledaFirst Tutors

Elena is by far the best tutor we have come across. She is a thoroughly accomplished tutor who has significantly improved my daughters confidence and abilities in Maths. She is a true professional who accomodates to the needs of my daughter. She provides honest and realistic feedback and expects hard work from her lessons which are reinforced by homework she provides. I would 100% recommend her as she is amazing and most of all is highly knowledgeable in her subjects.

Thank you, best of luck for your exams

TanikaFirst Tutors

Elena has been tutoring my daughter for a short period of time but has already developed my daughters Maths ability, she has grown in confidence and is able to tackle questions she wasn’t able to prior to being tutored by Elena. Elena is great to work with I would highly recommend her. I hope my daughter achieves her desired GCSE result!

DebbieFirst Tutors

Elena is very good. Logistics and days that she was available was the issue... shame she wasn't prepared to travel to a location closer to the student but I understand that she has other student lessons back to back that would make travelling difficult.

AminaFirst Tutors

Elena has been a great tutor. My daughters confidence in her maths abilities was rock bottom. She is now envisaging doing maths A levels. Elena has helped her getting ready for GCSEs maths in a fairly short time. My daughter has loved working with her and is looking forward to pass her last exam. Thank you again

VanessaFirst Tutors

From the very first lesson my daughter had with Elena, she beamed with an unseen before confidence and couldn't wait to go back! She even wanted to up her tuition days from 1 to 2! Elena has a calming demeanour which is great for my daughter who has SATs coming up and has never really understood maths. My daughter is eager to do her homework and talks all the way home about what she has learnt and how lovely Elena is! She is open to supporting parents and students alike and will focus on topics and areas she sees weaknesses in. Only week 4 but, the feedback reflects her abilities as a tutor. Highly recommended.

Elena's a great tutor! She's incredibly organised and ensures we make the most out of our session. She thoroughly explains mathematical concepts, slowing down the pace when required, and provides us with exam questions beyond the textbook. I would definitely recommend her.
