I would highly recommend Elaine. She is a fantastic tutor who has helped my son with NAT 5 maths both in a group setting and one to one. She plans each lesson carefully and breaks down concepts in an easy to understand way. She was always ready to answer any question or topic my son needed help with. Elaine really helped build my son's confidence and he got on extremely well with her. She also provides useful feedback and notes at the end of each session.  Elaine, thank you for all the help and support over the years.

Elaine tutored my son for just over 5 months for his Nat 5 exam. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Elaine, he would not have passed the exam. Elaine has a natural teaching technique that puts the students at ease and installs confidence in them with Maths as a subject. Elaine tailored each session to what my son was unsure about and would smilplfy the questions in a way that he understood. Full notes of each session and homework were provided. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone for tutoring.

Elaine has been teaching my son maths for almost a year now and I can honestly say he has improved greatly. Never the most confident in maths, he just really didn’t click, despite going to several other tutors over previous years. But with Elaine’s patience he is achieving a steady understanding of all topics of Nat 5 maths. His confidence when doing maths has grown immensely and he’s more forthright when not understanding. Elaine is very good at forwarding the work carried out during the online sessions and keeping me informed of how my son is managing and things to work on before the next lesson. I would definitely recommend Elaine for maths tutoring.

Elaine has been invaluable and a huge support for our Son with his maths learning in preparation for his Nat5 exam. She took the time to explain areas he struggled with which has helped his confidence to no end. Provided feedback and notes after every lesson with homework set for the week ahead. Would highly recommend Elaine for tutoring.

Elaine has been an amazing tutor for my son who really struggled with all aspects of maths. She was so patient and understanding with him and also supported me in ways to help. I can’t recommend her enough. Elaine has a great understanding of how to support individuals and not just following the framework set out to pass exams in the way the education system sadly seems to do. Thank you so much. We need more teachers like you!

Online maths tutoring with Elaine has been really beneficial for my daughter. Her understanding of the maths topics they have covered has really improved, as has her confidence in using different strategies to help her solve problems. Conducting the lessons online has had several advantages. It has helped with my daughter's concentration and focus, and has also allowed me as a parent to have more involvement. Lessons are always interesting and interactive, with screen sharing allowing them to use a variety of resources. Online lessons also a help timewise - no travel required and easier to fit in with busy family life!

My daughter has really benefitted from her tutoring session with Elaine. They quickly built a rapport which turned learning maths into a fun and positive experience.

My daughter's confidence with maths has improved immeasurably.  It is great to see her feel more positive about solving problems and choosing strategies.  

I would recommend Elaine without hesitation.

Elaine is one of the best teachers I have worked with. She makes learning fun and gives the children some excellent strategies to use. She is also patient and is able to adapt her teaching to individual pupils.

I highly recommend Elaine. She is an experienced & skilled teacher who has been able to bring my son on leaps and bounds through maths tutoring. His school teacher reported that he is now more confident and willing to challenge himself. Elaine is so patient and continually comes up with different approaches (including some all important fun and humour) to make things click into place. She has helped my son love maths!

I strongly recommend Elaine as a tutor. She has built a trusting rapport with my daughter and created a learning environment away from the distractions of the classroom. She has equipped my daughter with various strategies to help read and answer both numeracy and literacy-based questions. Elaine provides tutoring sessions which are relevant, enjoyable and positive which has helped keep my daughter engaged throughout. This has led to a dramatic improvement in my daughter’s ability and confidence. The increased confidence has enabled my daughter to approach more challenging work in a positive manner resulting in even greater success.

Elaine ensures that parents are involved throughout the process and always takes time to provide a summary of what has been covered in the sessions. It is very much a collaborative process which allows areas of concern to be addressed as a priority.

All the learnings taken from these sessions have helped my daughter understand and develop further at school. I cannot thank Elaine enough for the difference she has made to my daughter’s learning experience. It has been a very positive experience for us all.
