The team includes other tutors, across a range of subjects and school years.
No magic formulas -just a transparent method, tailored to you.
We listen to the student and the family. We understand context, challenges and goals.
We set format, frequency and subjects -always adjustable over time.
Regular sessions, transparent feedback and adjustments to each pace.
Support for the Portuguese school system, from middle school to university.

At São Sebastião da Pedreira or Tomás Ribeiro.
Same quality, with the flexibility of being at home.
Studying in a new country, in a second language, is a lot. We give international-school students calm, one-to-one tutoring in English -in person in Lisbon or online, wherever your family is.
Tutoring aligned with the IB (MYP & Diploma) and A-Levels.
Speaking English well isn't always enough. We help students build the formal, academic written English that essays and exams demand - clearly and without pressure.
Two welcoming spaces in central Lisbon, or online from anywhere -same personal, holistic approach either way.
We don't only tutor a subject. Like all ELÃ students, international students get integrated support -academic, personal and emotional -with a psychologist on the team.
Regular progress updates in English, so you always know exactly how your child is doing.

Real reviews from students and parents, on Google and Fixando.
“I joined ELÃ last September to prepare for the national Maths exam, without imagining the impact this year would have on me. More than learning Maths, I learned to deal with frustration, to believe in myself more, and to understand that progress comes through hard work and persistence. Gonçalo played a key role in that process -he never made me feel my difficulties were an obstacle, but rather a starting point. Thank you for the patience, the high standards, the trust, and for never letting me give up on myself. I take away far more than exam preparation.”
Translated from Portuguese -original belowVera L.“Entrei na ELÃ em setembro do ano passado para me preparar para o exame nacional de Matemática, sem imaginar o impacto que este ano teria em mim. Mais do que aprender Matemática, aprendi a lidar com a frustração, a acreditar mais em mim e a perceber que a evolução acontece com muito trabalho e persistência. O Gonçalo teve um papel fundamental nesse processo, nunca me fez sentir que as minhas dificuldades fossem um obstáculo, mas sim um ponto de partida. Obrigada pela paciência, pela exigência, pela confiança e por nunca deixar que eu desistisse de mim. Levo muito mais do que preparação para um exame.”
“Our 16-year-old son, in 10th grade, was supported by ELÃ throughout the whole 2025/2026 school year, and the outcome couldn't be more positive. From the very first moment we felt we were dealing with a human-scale organisation, serious and attentive to each student individually, not just another tutoring centre.
The team of teachers is highly competent and professional, and you can tell there's real care for students' progress and wellbeing, not only academic results. Over the year we saw our son gain more confidence, motivation and study methods.
I want to give special thanks to Prof. Gonçalo, who followed our son closely and did an exceptional job, always available and attentive to his needs.
I strongly recommend this study centre to any family looking for serious, close and high-quality support.”
Translated from Portuguese -original belowMiguel R.“O nosso filho de 16 anos, aluno de 10.º ano, foi acompanhado pela ELÃ durante todo o ano letivo 2025/2026 e o balanço não podia ser mais positivo. Desde o primeiro momento sentimos que estávamos perante uma organização de dimensão humana, séria e atenta a cada aluno individualmente, e não apenas mais um centro de explicações. A equipa de professores é super competente e profissional, e nota-se um verdadeiro cuidado com a evolução e o bem-estar dos alunos, e não só com os resultados académicos. Ao longo do ano vimos o nosso filho ganhar mais confiança, motivação e métodos de trabalho. Quero deixar um agradecimento especial ao Prof. Gonçalo, que acompanhou o nosso filho de perto e fez um trabalho excecional, sempre disponível e atento às suas necessidades. Recomendo vivamente este centro de estudos a qualquer família que procure um acompanhamento sério, próximo e de grande qualidade.”
“I had tutoring at ELÃ Study Centre for a few months to prepare for exams, and I recommend it. The tutors were always super available to clear up all my doubts, with real interest and motivation to teach. Good support for anyone who wants good grades in national exams or in their chosen subjects.”
