"We feel so lucky to have found Elenna.  She is an absolute gem, she has such a passion for her subject and is a patient, warm and really gifted teacher.  My daughter had enjoyed, and done well in Chemistry at GCSE level, but had lost her confidence at A-level.  It was hard to see how unhappy she was becoming and how negative about her own ability in the subject.  From her very first lesson with Elenna this all started to turn around and I was delighted to hear my daughter actually bubbling over with enthusiasm afterwards.

There has been an instant uplift in her test results, confidence and, most importantly of all, a weight has lifted as she is now enjoying the subject again.

Elenna has provided her with great follow up resources to lessons and set up a Google Classroom so she can easily access documents.  Elenna is completely flexible on covering whichever topic the student wants to work on and is so knowledgeable and well prepared that she is unfazed by any last-minute topic request. If you are looking for a Chemistry tutor you will not find better than Elenna. My daughter and I recommend her wholeheartedly!"

"I cannot recommend Elenna highly enough as a chemistry tutor. She tutored me for 10 weeks prior to my A level chemistry exams. Due to health problems, I had missed out on a significant portion of my GCSEs and therefore found chemistry quite difficult at A level. 

Elenna knew that my goal was to study medicine at university, and she helped close the gap I felt between my peers. She explained things to me in a way my chemistry teacher couldn’t and helped me work through past papers. Elenna was patient with me, and I saw improvement in my mock paper grades soon after her tutoring began. She really believed in me and made me feel more confident walking into my exam.

I went on to achieve a grade A in Chemistry A level and study medicine at university, something that would not have happened if it wasn’t for Elenna!"

"Elenna has provided structured sessions and tailored feedback to help my son regain his confidence with A level chemistry. Elenna is warm, patient and sets an expectation that progress is possible and will be achieved. My son believes in himself again. Definitely recommend Elenna as a tutor! "

"Elenna has definitely helped my daughter gain confidence in GCSE Chemistry and has worked with her in establishing difficult areas and improving them. After a few lessons she did very well in a recent Chemistry assessment (9). I have no hesitation in recommending Elenna and will still use her services in the run up to the exam. "

This student went on to achieve a 9 at GCSE and continued tuition into A-level Chemistry.

"I would like to thank you for helping M achieve a grade 9 in her GSCE's exam. You guided and supported her through that journey and gave her the belief in her abilities. 

She hated Chemistry before and now she loves it and wants to take it as her A level subject. 

I am so grateful for you for all of this. 

I know that Melanie would love to carry on with tuition in the new academic year".

This student improved from a 3 to a 9 over 15 months.

"I’m so grateful to have been able to have lessons with Elenna. Her in depth explanation of the topics I found difficult and assistance in doing challenging questions allowed chemistry to go from the subject I was least confident in to the most. Elenna teaches in a way that allows you to figure things out for yourself, making each practice question valuable. I felt very prepared going into my exams and ended up with an A, which I didn’t think would be possible before having lessons. Elenna is also very friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend her! "

"J is really a different person since working with you. He's so much more confident. His teachers say he's the most improved in the year".

"J did fantastic and got an A for Chemistry. We are so grateful for your incredible support, helping him rise up from Ds in year 12 to an A!   Thank you so much. He's very chuffed".

"Elenna is organised and punctual, whilst teaching with clarity, patience and empathy. Content is explained clearly and so that you can figure out the answer for yourself. The extensive practice questions provided helps test any knowledge gained, whilst the high quality PowerPoints can always be accessed through Google Classroom. Lesson times, availability and content are always flexible, whilst each session is documented with specific feedback and helpful hints to improve performance.

I had lost much of my confidence at the end of year 12, feeling I was beyond the help even private tutoring could offer. Elenna increased my understanding and thus enjoyment in A-level Chemistry, helping me to achieve a grade B (from a D in year 12). I would genuinely recommend tutoring to someone who is struggling or would like an extra boost in this subject. "

"Just received my results! I got an A in Chemistry and made my offer to study medicine at Exeter!

Thank you so much for your help it really made a huge difference to my results!"

"Great tutor, helped me get from a C to an A in just months! Very kind and patient would definitely recommend"

Grace

A-level Student- now studying Medicine

"I'm really excited to share that I achieved a very high A in chemistry, 250/300 which is 2 marks off an A*. Because of this I was able to get into Leeds for Medicine via clearing. I would like to thank you for all your help with Chemistry I would not have been able to do this without you."

GCSE Student

"Elenna was an incredible teacher during my GCSEs, tutoring me in Chemistry. Our lessons were fundamental in helping me to go from a Grade 6 at mocks to a Grade 9 at GCSE and as I am not a naturally gifted chemist I found this amazing. I can’t recommend Elenna enough for anyone taking GCSEs or A Levels in the sciences and I’m so glad that I found her!"

"I’ve just been to pick up my results and I got a B in Chemistry (from an E end of year 12). I also got a B in Biology & an A in Psychology & Newcastle uni have just confirmed my place to study marine biology. Thank you so much for all of your help over the past year, I couldn’t have done it without you".
