Ajmal · ★★★★★ · about Ellena
The short version - absolutely top class. If you are looking for a biology tutor for your child, you can stop your search now. The longer version - Ellena is the very best. We approached Ellena at a time of uncertainty about our son's Biology grade. There were gaps in his knowledge and greater concerns with his exam technique. We opted for Ellena given her extensive expertise in the subject and role as an examiner. Best decision we made. Her extensive knowledge and practical experience of the subject helped him immeasurably. Lessons were well planned (concentrating on both the syllabus and identified areas of weakness) and practically delivered in a way that he could understand and apply. Needless to say her expert knowledge of the content and syllabus made this possible. As a parent, her communication and updates with us were first class - extremely responsive, accommodating and nothing was ever too much trouble. There was always extra support and most importantly additional resources provided to our son which he found extremely beneficial. Ellena was kind enough to offer to continue to mark mock exam papers, without charge, even after his sessions finished just before his exams. That was tremendously generous of her and showed the extra mile she is prepared to go for you. Above all and most importantly, Ellena's inter-personal skills are first class and helped get the best out of our son. She is warm, kind and caring and those qualities are essential at a time when children are stressed by exams and all the pressures of applying for university and predicted grades. You need a safe haven of being taught without fear, to ask any questions and of wanting to go back every week. Our son didn't get that with his biology teacher at school but did with Ellena. He got an A and that was down to Ellena and we will always be grateful.
