Elpi

I am a qualified Primary School Teacher, trained at UCL Institute of Education — ranked the world's #1 for Education and Teaching for the 13th consecutive year — and hold a first-class degree in Education and Social Science with a specialism in Mathematics, achieving an A grade at Master's level.

Teaching Experience

I have been working as a tutor for the past 13 years — teaching children as young as 5, helping KS2 pupils with their SATs and 11+ preparation, supporting GCSE and iGCSE students in both Maths and English (AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas exam boards), assisting adult learners to achieve their Functional Skills qualifications, and helping teaching assistants in both primary and secondary schools to strengthen their numeracy skills. I also had the privilege of delivering a Level 5 teacher training qualification in Maths at a college, advancing Maths teachers' classroom skills.

It is an absolute passion of mine to make Maths engaging, enjoyable and accessible. Never believe Maths isn't for you just because you feel you don't have those 'Maths brains' — let a good tutor show you its beauty and, trust me, in many cases its surprising simplicity.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is varied and adaptable, as I firmly believe everyone learns in their own unique way — and it is my job as a tutor to identify how you learn best and tailor every session to meet YOUR individual needs.

You will learn in a safe, non-judgmental and encouraging environment where every achievement is celebrated and every mistake is treated as a valuable learning opportunity.

I provide both 1:1 and group sessions (5–6 people, 12-week programmes) with a LOT of personalisation, mini video lessons, video marking and feedback, and termly 1:1 calls to discuss your progress. Group sessions are always a big success — I match people who are in exactly the same boat as you, creating a mini community of learning buddies who support each other and often build long-lasting friendships.

I look forward to helping you achieve your full potential! 😊

BevanFirst Tutors

We could not find any flaws with Elpi. Very trusting and engaging, our daughter looked forward to seeing her. Elpi has not only improved our daughter’s skill and knowledge, but more so her attitude towards Maths. Elpi has helped her accept Maths as a necessary evil, and to take on the challenge of conquering it. Could not ask for more than that. Thank you again Elpi.

Thank you for your kind words, Bevan! :)

Elpi is a fabulous tutor. Extremely kind, calm and approachable. My daughter felt very comfortable with Elpi and it has definitely increased her confidence, as Elpi was able to focus on aspects she struggled with. Elpi always gave an overview of what was covered in each session via email and set a few homework questions to check my daughter's understanding. Communication was always excellent and with quick responses too. I have no hesitation in recommending Elpi.

Elpi has been working with my son for a few months now. We have noticed a massive difference in my son's abilities, he can now read a lot better, is understanding basic concepts in English and his maths is improving. Elpi is full of enthusiasm and energy which in turn gives my son enthusiasm and energy to learn every time he has a lesson with her. My son has learning needs and Elpi has been brilliant at teaching him so he understands and learns. Very pleased parents!

Thank you Katy for your kind words :)

I am so happy with Elpi, my daughter gets on so well with Elpi and is really enjoying her lesson. My daughter has only been visiting Elpi for only about just over a month and has learnt so much. My daughter at present is sitting her mocks and everyday after her mocks she says she has that she has done well and her best which is a big change in outcome from her previous mock exams. I found Elpi's approach towards my daughter professional, caring and understanding. I would definitely recommend Elpi to my friends and family.
