Highly experienced English Teacher: GCSE, A level, IBDP, BA, MA etc and a unique, highly sought-after tutor

Perfect! Jelena is a gem in every sense of the word. We engaged her services in October last year to tutor our son in A-level English Literature, a formidable task, as he needed to cover a two-year curriculum in less than nine months. Under her expert guidance, he has flourished academically and achieved a strong A grade, only a few marks shy of an A*. This is a true testament to Jelena’s remarkable ability to draw out the very best in her students.
She is not merely an excellent tutor, but also a mentor, offering support and encouragement well beyond the academic. Working with her has been an absolute pleasure, and I would unreservedly recommend her to any family.

Perfect! Jelena has been tutoring me since September, and my grades have improved from a C to an A* now in July! Her detailed feedback helps immensely with developing writing skills, and this has improved my writing style in general, resulting my grades in my other two essay based subjects also increasing.

Perfect! Excellent teaching methodology

Perfect! Jelena has been tutoring me in English for only a term and a half and there has already been noticeable progress in my English attainment. Both my English teacher and my mum have commented on the improvement in my English skills. This has also been reflected in my English grade in my end of year exam. My English grade in literature increased from 13/25 to 19/25 in only a couple months and my overall grade went from a C, last year, to an A, this year when I started working with her. My creative writing has also improved quite a bit.

After trying multiple English tutors, she was by far my favourite. She somehow makes my least favourite subject fun.

Furthermore, she has massively helped my ability to write essays. It used to take me hours to write an essay, in English or other subjects, whereas since Jelena started tutoring me, I have halved the time I spend writing. Not only has this process become quicker, however, but what and how I write has hugely improved in terms of vocab, sentence structure and punctuation.

Perfect! I started lessons with Jelena in grade 11 and since then I moved up a grade in both papers to a 6. Her feedbacks helped me on my writing skills and I was improving in each session. Thanks to your lessons I can see a significant improvement in my essays. I would recommend her without a doubt! Guillem

Perfect! I first got in contact with Jelena through one of the students in my IB HL English Lang & Lit course who was showing a lot of improvement under her tutelage. Despite going to a supposedly excellent IB school in London, I was struggling to break out of grade 5 boundary in both Paper 1 and Paper 2. In just a short span of 2-3 weeks of lessons with Jelena, thanks to her hard work on filling the gaps in my knowledge and understanding, I moved up a grade in both papers to a 6 in my end-of-year exams. My overall understanding of the subject and exam requirements has become considerably greater since I’ve started working with Jelena. In addition, as a student with dyslexia I find it very difficult to catch my spelling and grammatical mistakes on paper. Jelena carefully gives me feedback on every piece of work, teaching me to write better one session at a time. She has helped me hone my writing skills to such an extent, I got an A in my English EE and am now confidently on course for a grade 7 in my final exams. That is an incredible achievement considering I did not speak a word of English 6 years ago. I will continue to work with Jelena in preparation for my final exams and in University. Truly the best tutor in the world. Could not be luckier. Would 100% recommend!

Perfect! During my experience in the IB Hl Lang & Lit course Jelena was my biggest supporter. The results from our sessions came quick as I moved from a 5 to a 6 in just two weeks of class. She is an amazing tutor who has always been incredibly helpful. In my experience her amazing attention to detail and INCREDIBLE writing skills have improved my own work significantly. Along with helping me be a better student, I felt she has always been on my side and putting her absolute all into being the best tutor she can. WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!!

Perfect! Outstanding Tutor
Jelena taught my son from year 11 as he needed help with his English for his A Levels. My son was probably on either grade D or E. With the help of Jelena my son improved so much that he got A* in English Literature. Not only that, but as he became so good with his reading, essay writing and narrations, it helped him in his Sociology and History as well. He ended up with A*, A* and A in all 3 subjects.

Jelena is also a very pleasant and understanding person to deal with and I will highly recommend her services to anyone who needs it.

Thank you once again Jelena.

Outcome : From Grade D or E to A* in English Literature - A Levels

Perfect! Simply the Best
Without a doubt my daughter's A* in English would never have been achieved without Jelena's support, skill, and genuine care for my daughter and her English Exams. Unbelievable result and highly whole heartedly recommended. A unique and very special tutor.
Subject : English
Outcome : A*

Perfect! Straightforward, enthusiastic and simply amazing tutor!
I've been having lessons with Jelena for nearly two months now, and I'm honestly amazed by her professional attitude to teaching. Stduying English Lit as a foreigner has been a real challange due to the lack of support from my teachers. Once I had enough of the lack of specific feedback, I reached out to Jelena. I would argue she taught me more in 2 months than my English teachers in 2 years. She helped me to get an A on my coursework, which was predicted to be a B. She is truly the best teacher I've ever come across.
Subject : English Literature
Outcome : Significant improvement in confidence and quality of essay writing.

Perfect! Jelena
Jelena built up a rapport with my daughter very quickly. She knew how to get the best out of her and build up her confidence through positive praise and having a very good knowledge of the English literature curriculum. My daughter has now begun some additional English Language classes too - she lacks confidence and motivation here but Jelena convinced her !
Jelena has a wide back ground of experience in this subject and we are happy with the positive approach she takes when tutoring one to one

Perfect! Indispensable Creative Writing Tutor
I’d spent a number of years blundering around my first chapter, wondering whether I could even write or not? I interviewed 3 tutors and settled on Jelena, based on her immediate pen to paper engagement and enthusiastic support.

Jelena’s faith, encouragement, personality, and attention-to-detail instructions have turned me into a writer! I will be eternally grateful for her mentorship, and I eagerly look forward to our weekly sessions. I would recommend her to anyone wishing to become an author.

I might want to live another 10 years!?
