Elisa

An experienced English teacher and Cambridge graduate with a specialism for GCSE/A Level work and Oxbridge entry. I have over 16 years of experience teaching in and outside the classroom and have over 1000 hours of online tutoring experience. I prepare students for GCSE and A Level exams, entrance tests and competitive university applications (including Oxbridge ELAT practice and interview technique), and I design engaging, skills focused lessons that build confidence, critical thinking and creative expression. As the author of three critically-acclaimed novels, I bring a strong creative-writing perspective to lessons—helping pupils develop structure, voice and analytical precision. I offer tailored one-to-one tuition, clear progress targets and flexible online area. To discuss goals and availability, please get in touch.

Availability: I am available weekday evenings (excluding Monday) and on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have taught across all key stages in both state and independent schools and privately: at The Tiffin Girls’ School (2009–2014) I delivered curriculum lessons across KS3–KS5, created schemes of work, led literacy initiatives and mentored Years 7–8; at Cheltenham Ladies’ College (2019–2020) I taught Years 7–11 and supported Year 12–13 students with Oxbridge preparation (ELAT practice and interview technique); since 2020 I have tutored Years 7–12 online for a Shanghai agency, providing targeted GCSE/A Level exam prep, entrance test practice and personalised feedback, while my experience as a published novelist enriches my creative writing teaching.
