About Alena
My name is Alena, and I would be delighted to support you with English at any level, from early Phonics and Primary English through to Secondary, GCSE English Language, 11+ entrance exams, and SATs preparation. I hold a PGCE teaching qualification and have over six years of teaching and tutoring experience, helping students build confidence, improve their literacy skills, and achieve academic success. Throughout my career, I have worked with learners of different ages and abilities, supporting them to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
I am passionate about creating a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their progress. I believe that students perform best when they feel supported, capable, and aware of their strengths, and I take pride in helping them develop both confidence and independence in their learning. If you would like to discuss how I can help, please feel free to get in touch. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and explore how we can work together to support your success.

I have over 3000 hours of online and face-to-face teaching experience and currently work with primary, secondary, college and university students, including 11+ and SATs pupils.
My aim is to make learning engaging and accessible while helping students develop strong reading, writing, spelling, grammar, comprehension, and communication skills. Whether you need support with phonics, reading fluency, creative writing, grammar, comprehension, SATs preparation, 11+ exam preparation, or GCSE English Language, I am here to help.
Lessons are tailored to each student's individual needs, learning style, and goals. I focus on developing both subject knowledge and exam techniques, ensuring students make steady progress while building confidence in their abilities. Through regular encouragement, clear explanations, and structured learning, I help students strengthen core English skills and achieve their academic goals.

Alena provided outstanding 11+ tutoring for my daughter Rosie. During an intensive pre 11+ period she provided Rosie with the best preparation possible. A great communicator, she was able to make Rosie’s difficult topics more understandable and demystified elements of the exam. Rosie was successful at her 11+ and I believe Alena’s expert tutoring made a significant contribution. I would definitely use Alena again and whole heartedly recommend her to anyone.
Alena is a wonderful tutor! She helped me a lot, especially with preparing my Master’s dissertation. She taught me how to analyse and write essays, develop critical thinking, and improve my vocabulary and grammar - all through my own effort. I successfully passed and now apply these professional writing and thinking skills in my work. I’m very grateful and look back on that time with warmth and happiness. Highly recommend!
From the moment I started working with her, she provided clear, insightful guidance on how to critically analyse article and formulate well-structured nursing essays. She tailored the sessions to my own needs and understanding and I always achieved my learning outcomes. She is patient and very flexible in teaching style
Alena helped my daughter with her business A level course.
She was very flexible and accommodating with dates and times and used to prepare very well the lessons having a good plan to cover all the course content.
I would be very happy to recommend Alena to anybody who needed her support.
Great teacher, very patient and knowledgeable. Alena helped me to structure my assignment
Looking for a great tutor? Alena could be just who you need.
Alena is an experienced and friendly tutor who works with students across a range of subjects — from A-Level and GCSE Psychology to 11+ exam preparation. She’s helped students of all levels grow in confidence and achieve fantastic results.
If your child is preparing for Psychology exams, Alena has a real knack for breaking down complex topics into simple, understandable ideas. She supports students with essay writing, exam technique, and making sense.
When it comes to 11+, Alena is calm, patient, and really knows how to connect with younger learners. She creates lessons that are structured but never boring, always working at the student’s pace. Many parents have said their children became more confident and even started to enjoy the preparation thanks to her relaxed, encouraging style.
Why do families choose Alena?
• She’s approachable and easy to talk to
• Lessons are tailored to each student’s needs
• She knows how to get results without pressure
• Students feel supported, not judged
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your child’s progress and well-being, Alena is a great choice.I had the pleasure of working with Alena as my acdemic tutor for 3 years during my time at univeristy. As an international student with no prior experience in academic writing, I found her guidance invaluable. From the beginning, Alena provided structured and consistent support.She never did the work for me but instead she facilitated my learning by asking the right guestions and offered constructive feedback. Her support played a significant role in my academic success and I am proud to say I graduated with honors. I have also observed Alena teaching small group of children and she brought the best out of them through carefully adapted questioning. She has always been proffesional , positive and cheerful.
