About Elena M.

I'm a CELTA-qualified English teacher with eleven years of experience helping adults reach the scores and the confidence they need — for university, for work, or for a new life abroad. More than 600 of my students have taken IELTS, and most reached their target band on the first try.

My lessons are calm, structured and very practical. We start from where you are today, find the two or three things that hold your score back, and work on them with real exam tasks and honest, specific feedback. You will always know what we are doing and why.

Outside exam preparation I run friendly conversation clubs and business-English sessions for professionals who want to sound natural in meetings, presentations and e-mails. I grew up between Madrid and London, so I know first-hand what learning a language as an adult feels like.

Great conversation club. Sometimes the group was a bit big, but Elena made sure everyone spoke.

I needed a 7 in speaking for my nursing registration and got 7.5. Elena told me exactly what to fix — no vague advice.
