Hi! My name is Elissa and I am a first year student of Primary Education living and studying in Scotland. I found my passion for teaching whilst living in Spain and decided that now is the best time to pursue a career I love. I am fascinated by languages so can't wait to tutor both English and Spanish and help you to improve! I would prefer to teach primary aged students to continue to gain experience in the field I plan to work in. As well as completing my Scottish Highers to a high standard, I am am also TEFL qualified and currently studying toward my MA in Primary Education. To improve my higher grade in English and better my chances of a place in university, I completed a university level English access course where I achieved an A (1st class merit).

I offer tutoring for the following: Maths - KS2 up to and including GCSE Further Maths - GCSE I also offer tutoring for adults looking to gain their Maths GCSE or Functional Skills qualification I'm currently working in the pharmaceutical industry having moved over from the financial sector. I've previously tutored a range of students (both in age and ability) and enjoy helping others obtain their goals.

About me: I’m currently in my 2nd at the University of Oxford studying Engineering (MEng) as Maths and Physics has always been my passion. I have nearly 3 years of experience in providing interactive one-on-one and group teaching to students of all ages (5-18) both online and in person. My lessons are focused on exam technique as well as subject content so my students can achieve their true potential. I also teach the tricks I used during my time doing GCSEs and A-Levels which from the feedback I've received from my students help them the most in achieving the grades they want to achieve. I try to teach in a way that would have benefitted me during my time studying for GCSEs and A-levels as i was not long ago in your position!
