Information about Elena
My name is Elena, I am Italian but I have been living in the UK for almost 15 years.
I graduated in Organic Chemistry in Italy, then I did a PhD at the university of Leeds, working on alternative fuels. I cultivated my interest in the environment and low carbon technologies in the following postdoc positions. In 2013, while on maternity leave, feeling that my communication skills were strong enough, I moved into teaching. I qualified in June 2015 and started to work in a school in Royston straight after. However, I soon had to opt for a more flexible carrier, which could combine my passion for teaching with my personal (very busy!) life. In the past three years I helped several A level and GCSE students to regain confidence and successfully pass their exams, meeting and, in some cases exceeding,their targets.
I`m currently tutoring a student for her GCSE triple science and one in A level Chemistry and I went back to work in research at UCL, on a part time basis.
Chemistry is a fantastic subject, the key to understand the world around us. Helping the students to see that and to meet their goals... well, this is my goal!

Elena has been helping my son with his GCSE chemistry. She is very flexible and has arranged session content to suit him well. This has ensured he has now fully understood topics he was unsure of. Elena is very nice and friendly and also an expert in her subject, which helps to bring the subject to life. A very good tutor.
