I’m Elena! I graduated summa cum laude from NC State University with a B.S. in Physics and a minor in mathematics. I have years of tutoring experience working with students from middle school to college, in virtual and in-person settings. I am patient and methodical with a focus on individual students’ needs and learning styles.
I have experience tutoring math through the college level, AP and college physics, other science subjects, and ACT and SAT preparation. I am happy to help students with study skills, test preparation, homework assignments, and introduction of new material.
I have also worked with students, including those with ADHD, to establish organizational skills which improve focus and self-sufficiency. I have learned many organizational and study skills through my own rigorous experiences as a student and through the recommendation of others. It is very important to me that students establish strong foundational skills so that they can build the confidence and ability to take on future problems. Each student’s situation and skill set are different, so I like to get feedback to personalize tutoring as much as possible. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a first lesson!

Excellent tutor

Elena is amazing. My daughter has had several tutors on this platform in the last 2 years and Elena is the best by far in how well she explains the concepts. My daughter's grades and confidence in the material have greatly improved. Highly recommended!

Great tutor

Elena has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter's high school AP physics class. She takes the material which has been tough for my daughter to understand and breaks it down in ways which help her get it.

Great College Physics tutor!

After getting a crushing low exam grade on my first test Elena took the time with me to work on homework and exam preparation. Saw my grade go from a low C to a high B and I'm confident if I had one more exam in that class I would have easily gotten an A with her help! She not only went over the physics but the actual algebra and trigonometry behind it all so I could understand the problems using what I already know. Will definitely use again when I take Physics 2!

Wonderful tutor

I highly recommend Elena as a tutor. She worked with my son during his semester of college physics (calculus-based). Elena successfully helped my son feel in command of the material. Her effective tutoring not only helped him excel but also boosted his confidence in the subject. In a course where a (curved) 51% scored an A, my son scored 95%. He was so good that he himself was designated the tutor for other students needing help. This was exactly my goal for my son's tutoring sessions with Elena—to master the material with confidence. Elena was reliable and consistent, never missing a scheduled weekly session. There are so many students who turn away from a STEM degree because of their discomfort with courses like physics. My son's career path is his own to decide, but if he turns away from STEM, I wanted it to be based on his interests, not because of difficulty with the material. Elena helped accomplish that. Mission accomplished, Elena!

Quick turnaround

Elena made a same-day appt to review the current unit my son is working on physics. It greatly clarified so many problems! He did veru well on the unit test//thank you! We are very, very grateful for Elena!

MY LIFE SAVER

Elena is the absolute best, she narrows down scenarios and breaks it apart perfectly for me to understand every topic when applying them into equations

Great tutor

Great teacher! My daughter really liked her, explaining all math problems very well. She also helped with science. We would like to see her again.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

We had our initial lesson last week. My daughter remarked how kind and patient Elena was taking time to get to understand the root of what is causing her difficulties. Looking forward to continuing to work with her.
