About Elisa

I have been working as a tutor since 2012, and graduated in 2017 with a First in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford. My experience extends across different levels and subjects, from teaching English as a foreign language to 11+ exams, and university level preparation. Throughout the years, I have worked with students on a wide range of curriculums to hone their skills and expand not only their knowledge, but also their interest and love for the subject. Having won a bursary to attend Wellington College in 2011, I studied the IB, and was one of the very few students in the world to achieve a maximum of 45 points. Some of the distinctions I was awarded for my academic performances include the Gavin Ewart Poetry Prize, the Verrall English Prize, the Music Essay Prize, and the Lady Emma Talbot Special Prize. I went on to earn a place at Oxford University where I read BA Honours in English Language and Literature. Following my Distinction in Prelims, I was awarded the Casberd Scholarship for outstanding results.

About the lesson

I have always loved working with children and young people, and it’s always incredibly rewarding seeing them progress and achieve the results they were hoping for. I loved my subject at university, and had an amazing experience doing the IB, so I feel a kind of responsibility to return the opportunity I had in encountering wonderful, inspiring teachers who helped me achieve the best results I could have possibly imagined by nurturing not only my academic potential, but also my passion for their subject. What distinguishes me as a tutor is an ability to understand the child's specific needs, both personal and academic, and tailor my teaching methods to fulfil each child's academic potential and individual goals. Having been raised by a mother who also worked as an educational psychologist, my personal experiences have convinced me that often the best results are not only a question of investing a certain amount of work in preparation, but also, as importantly, of building confidence and a good rapport between student and teacher. My teaching style balances a thorough knowledge of results-driven exam techniques and an intellectual curiosity which flows beyond the immediate perimeter of the syllabus - in short, I aspire to make work feel like fun whilst fulfilling all the requirements of the curriculum.
