Miss Elaine tutored our son Maxwell.

When she started with him, Max didn't enjoy reading and struggled to focus on his schoolwork. Through immense patience, commitment, and positive belief in our child he was accepted into one of the most prestigious schools in Australia when we moved here in 2020.

Miss Elaine is highly skilled and competent as a tutor. However, it is her character that distinguishes her from others. She is a genuinely decent person and a great role model for the kids. She developed a strong bond with both of our boys and left a lasting impression that remains today.

You are lucky if you are able to secure her services.

Sincerely,

Amos & Paula Szeps

No endless worksheets, just real teaching. Our son has excelled with Miss Elaine's Tuition services!

Darren

​

We found that most tuition providers try to pack as many children into a class with little contact with parents regarding progress.

Miss Elaine's group classes are small and each child is treated as an individual and supported to reach their full potential.

Thank you, Miss Elaine.

My son began 11+ English and Maths tuition with Miss Elaine in the Summer Term of 2021 when he was in Year 4. He is now in Year 5 and has flourished in his ability over the last couple of terms and I'm delighted with the progress he has made thanks to Miss Elaine's clear, organised, consistent, and patient approach to teaching. I would highly recommend Miss Elaine's Tuition Services whether you are looking for general tuition to build your child's confidence or 11+ tuition."

I cannot put into words how much my son enjoys his lessons and has flourished due to Miss Elaine. I just wish I had found her sooner! She is worth waiting for.

During lockdown as we didn't want our girls to miss out on school. Just over a year on, we have continued with Miss Elaine as we saw the value she bought to our girls learning, development and confidence.

Miss Elaine is, professional, punctual, calm, measured and is able to teach our girls, using fun games and techniques that keep them engaged - our girls look forward to their lessons.

Highly recommended.

My son gained acceptance to all grammar schools. We cannot thank Miss Elaine enough!

S. Patel

 

Miss Elaine changed our son from an unconfident, hesitant learner to now attending the local grammar school. Her teaching style is kind, caring, thorough, and precise. Miss Elaine was recommended by 3 different people and she is truly the 'child whisperer. We cannot thank her enough. We will never forget her as we were very lucky to find her.

'Miss Elaine has been tutoring my son for the past three years. As a result, he achieved greater depth in Math and he has massively improved in English. Elaine with her persistent, kind, and caring teaching style has helped my son to meaningfully engage with 'his homework. I highly recommend Elaine's tuition services'.

 Miss Elaine's lessons are fun and engaging. I think this is what stands her apart. I am relieved and amazed at how well they are doing at school. She puts so much effort into her lessons. Both my children look forward to them every week and miss them during the half-term breaks :)

Michelle

 

Miss Elaine has a wonderful way with the children. She is very calm, patient, and really attentive. Her lessons are carefully planned and engaging. Her support with the children's education has been invaluable in helping them to achieve their full potential and to recover from missed learning due to the pandemic. She was recommended to us through a friend and I would most certainly recommend her to others.

Nermine 

 

 

We are so lucky to have found Miss Elaine, it was our third time lucky having tried 2 tutors before. We can see a massive difference in our children. They are much happier, more confident and settled at school. I think it helps that Miss Elaine ensures that any misconceptions are quickly sorted out and that tuition is taught in the same way as in the classroom. We are also so very grateful that there hasn't been any lost learning during the last two years due to the pandemic. 

Highly recommended. 

Cathy

 

I cannot recommend Miss Elaine enough! My son has grown in confidence and this has had an amazing effect on his mental health. He now enjoys going to school because he now understands what he has been taught. He is now receiving awards from school. I will always be grateful to Miss Elaine.

Thank you, Miss Elaine! The increase in knowledge seen in both my children is immense across both English and maths. Looking forward to another year with you. 

Sharmila

 

Miss Elaine is amazing! So kind, thoughtful, and patient. We know that we have been extremely lucky. My son has never really engaged with school homework but now looks forward to Miss Elaine's homework- which is optional :) He is doing so very well.
