To whom it may concern:

Eljai joined the Learning Support team at Twickenham Academy (now Twickenham School) in October 2016.
During my time there (4 terms), Eljai has made a sizeable difference to students with additional needs both in lessons and one to one.
Her passion for English and Drama is tangible and students who have found the curriculum difficult to access have developed an enthusiasm for the subject due to Ejlai’s energy, knowledge of the subject and tenacity.
Eljai combines her love of Drama and English effectively. She prepares well for her teaching sessions and provides useful feedback to students on a regular basis.

I have no hesitation in recommending Eljai as a tutor – please do contact me should you require further information.

To whom it may concern:

I am happy to recommend Eljai for literacy tuition. She is highly experienced in the 11-16 age group and coaches students who have additional needs in literacy with great success.
Eljai is very creative and inspires her students to enjoy both the meaning and the sound of English through prose, poetry and drama. She has a very good understanding of her students’ needs and has an excellent relationship with them.
Recently I have been impressed by Eljai’s ability to engage her students with the language of Shakespeare and this makes her as effective with GCSE students as with those just starting secondary education.
Eljai prepares her material well and has developed some excellent methods of assessment.
Please contact me by email should you require further information.
