About Me
My career thus far has been varied and interesting. I am unusual in that I have a BSc degree, but qualified as an English teacher. I worked solely as an English teacher for the first years of my teaching career and then spent over a decade working in secondary education (as an Assistant Headteacher in the last four years). After that, I set up my own private tutoring business, teaching Psychology, Sociology and Criminology alongside English.
I love a pub quiz, enjoy the theatre and travelling. I love a challenge and that's perhaps why I enjoy teaching different subjects. As an avid reader, I spend a lot of hours reading around subjects and ensuring that my knowledge is current.
Tutor Experience
I am particularly experienced at supporting children with additional needs, such as dyslexia. I work hard to ensure that lessons are engaging and that each child makes the maximum progress possible in that time. After 18 years of teaching, I have excellent subject knowledge and professional experience delivering the specifications for AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas.
I give learners appropriate support to enable them to achieve their academic and vocational targets. I am able to provide 1-1 online sessions in a virtual classroom or, alternatively I am happy to prepare a plan for you to answer set work, providing you with key information, as well as reviewing and appraising any work due for submission. I am always available between tutoring sessions to answer questions or clarify some points from the lesson. I also set homework tasks and exam papers questions to give you complete support and ensure quick development. Entire mock exams are available upon request.
I am available for a quick chat if you have any questions and would like to know how I can help. Please note, I operate a waiting list at certain points in the year so booking ahead is essential.

-Key Stage Three English

Testimonials
My daughter started with Lena at the start of her Year Twelve A-Levels. Lena has been incredibly helpful to Betsy, improving her exam performance but more importantly building her confidence and giving her the tools to believe in herself. Would thoroughly recommend Lena to any student.

Lena was recommended by a friend of my daughter, I would highly recommend, my daughter has absolutely loved her revision sessions, her confidence in English Lit and Lang has improved and grown so much.
Thank you so much.
- Sarah G.
My daughter started with English Tuition September of her going into Year 11 due to her struggling with both LIT and LANG and having information processing dyslexia. We were overwhelmed by her Mock Results, her confidence has grown and she even enjoys Romeo & Juliet.,Gracie has enjoyed every single session she has attended. Lena has explained things in a way that has allowed her to understand,grasp and enjoy the curriculum. Oh and she’s a lovely lady and my daughter loves her. Highly recommend. *******
- Helen N.
Lena was recommended to us by another tutor and we are very grateful she was. Both my son and daughter has used Lena for the run up to mocks and GCSE and she has been amazing. She has really encouraged them and given them the confidence they needed to go into their exams and it has also impacted how they have answered question in other subjects. They both relate really well to her and both enjoy their sessions with her. Highly recommended and will be continuing with Lena next year for my daughter’s GCSE year.
