Elisha Grillo

Tahmina C.

Teacher

Elisha has been very helpful in assisting me with my search for a position during a pandemic. Within this difficult period, Elisha has made it a priority to find a position for me within the education sector whilst thinking about the preferences that I requested. She always thinks about what is best for the individual and what is suited best for them alongside being very professional. Any questions I’ve had she has always been more than happy to help and guide me in the right direction. She has offered me plenty of opportunities to develop my career further, allowing me to gain experience in different year groups through supply work as well as helping me find an NQT position starting in the new year. Elisha also shows she cares about the individuals she's helping by making time for communication via call or email to check how they are getting on. She’s always happy to help and I cannot praise and thank her enough for her kind words, encouragement, and the opportunities she has provided.

Teaching Assistant

Elisha has been an absolute blessing helping me through my transition to living and working in London. Her support, reliability, encouragement and kindness were not unnoticed; she always performed above and beyond to ensure her teachers received exceptional work and were valued to the highest degree. Her empathy and understanding helped through rewarding and challenging days, and she always offered her helping hand when needed. She organized many social events for Engage Education UK which created a very inclusive and accepting environment where teachers were able to network and meet others with similar stories. If you have the chance to work with Elisha, you will be working with someone who cares for her teachers to give them a rewarding experience working in London schools. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Elisha as an agent of Engage Education and I will miss her next year.
