About Elena
I am a qualified dyslexia specialist with over 25 years of experience working with children on a daily basis. For more than 10 years I have worked with pupils with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ASD, ADHD and general issues with English, Maths and Comprehension. Additionally, I have a degree in Fine Art with a Postgraduate in Primary Education. A Master's Degree in Specialist Dyslexia Training, SPLD- Specific Learning Difficulties OCR Level 5. I continue my professional development with certificates in ASD, SLT (Speech and Language Therapy) and ADHD. In my lessons I offer one-to-one support online and in person at my home. In addition, I am able to travel into schools when arranged and to a pupil's home. I keep in touch with teachers to ensure tutoring is intentional. I usually tailor my lessons to the needs of my pupils and offer informal assessments in order to help with a child's needs.

I offer lively and engaging lessons for my pupils online using various programmes for online lessons such as Wordshark for spelling patterns, Topmarks, and more. The lessons are multisensory when in person and are broken down into small segments to keep the pupil involved at every moment. Examples are Phonological Awareness-the use of sounds in language to aid spelling and reading, Phonics (for some pupils only). Regular spelling patterns and various games to aid memory, for example mnemonics and a continuous record of spellings created in a fun booklet form. In addition, in each lesson I try to include grammar and comprehension techniques according to the pupil's needs. In some cases, pupils need a focus on spoken Language and vocabulary, work in writing, and the need to extend their sentences. In these cases, we may spend a longer time on sentence work, and the ability to add figurative language and to develop writing stories.

Elena taught my dyslexic son for 4 years, from years 3 - 6. She was kind and gentle and made learning fun. My son always enjoyed his lessons which is a big deal as additional lessons after a full day's school is a hard ask of a child. He made good progress under her tuition, and I'd often find when we were doing homework together a word that he could spell because he was remembering a trick that she'd taught him.
I highly recommend Elena as a tutor. She worked with my daughter during her primary school years and made a big difference in her progress and confidence, especially in English.
Elena is patient, encouraging, and explains things clearly. My daughter always enjoyed her lessons and felt supported.
We’re very grateful for Elena’s help and would gladly recommend her to other families.Elena provides a relaxed and fun teaching environment for children with reading and writing difficulties, and encourages learning through a range of interactive and fun activities tailored to specific needs and abilities of each child. Using these methods, Elena has been able to help many children make great progress with their reading and writing abilities.
Elena has been a wonderful tutor for our child! She brings patience, understanding, and adapts to my child’s individual needs. Her support has made a real difference, not just in our child’s learning but in their confidence too.
I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a dedicated and engaging dyslexia tutor
