Assistant Principal Examiner of Chemistry, Former University of Oxford BMSAT admissions question writer, Qualified Teacher with 20 years experience.

Ellie is a brilliant tutor. Before I started, I thought I was terrible at science, but she’s completely changed that. She explains things clearly, makes it easy to understand, and has given me so much more confidence. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Ellie has been tutoring our daughter in GCSE science for some time now. Whilst we've had little experience with other tutors, she's been brilliant on all levels. At the start of each term, she's offered flexibility in terms of timing and lesson delivery (F2F or virtual). Our daughter initially started with virtual but now prefers face-to-face. Lessons start promptly and are well planned. She's routinely offered extension exercises to test and reinforce learning. What really stands out for us, though, is the genuine investment Ellie has made in our daughter's learning; she habitually feeds back after lessons, frequently sends encouraging messages before exams, and offers extra curriculum support. Ellie really sets the bar, and we credit her for nurturing an interest in science in our daughter. Thank you for your continued unwavering support; it means a lot. Family Williams

Ellie has tutored my son over the last year for his GCSE combined science exam. She has worked wonders with him, managing to engage him with her warm and calm but encouraging manner. She is incredibly well organised, sending through many helpful resources and material in advance of each lesson. Her knowledge of the exams and the techniques required to answer the questions has been invaluable in helping my son understand how to structure his answers to score top marks. I would recommend her very highly to all parents.

I studied with Ellie throughout the whole of Year 11, and she made a huge difference to my confidence in Chemistry. She is always patient, supportive, and explains things in a way that makes them much easier to understand. No matter how many questions I had, she was always happy to help. Thanks to her lessons, I felt much more prepared for my exams. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a friendly and reliable Chemistry tutor.

Excellent teacher - she has been teaching my children for over 7 years where all of them achieved exceptional grade 9s in the subjects Ellie taught them. She taught my son who is currently a junior doctor and her teacher was a great part of his journey towards medicine including with his IB revision. She has extensive knowledge on the subjects she teaches and has excellent ways of teaching. Couldn’t recommend anyone better as a tutor. All my children have always spoken very highly of Ellie.

Ellie has transformed my daughter’s experience of learning, her gentle yet encouraging manner has sparked an interest in science that simply wasn’t there before.
Ellie is always engaging and has a happy and easy going demeanour that settles any anxieties or reluctance to engage.
I would most certainly recommend Ellie to ANY family

I cannot express how incredible Ellie is as a Tutor. In year 10 I took my anxious daughter out of school and luckily found Ellie, having mainly in person but also online lessons for the 3 separate science GCSE’s. Ellie was so wonderful with her, kind, patient and incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, giving my daughter confidence in her own ability which she hadn’t received at school. My daughter went from hating sciences to loving them in a matter of weeks. Ellie went above and beyond for us arranging all science lesson planning, help and advice with exam boards and papers etc. My daughter passed all 3 GCSE sciences brilliantly which I am confident she would not have done, had it not of been for Ellie. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough.

I had the pleasure of being tutored by Ellie for the duration of my Year 13 Chemistry. This was imperative to me eventually scoring a Grade A in my A level chemistry (only narrowly missing an A* by 3 marks). She is an incredible tutor as shown by my grade especially considering I got a C in my Year 12 mock examination. Ellie was always super kind to me and if i ever needed help outside of my lessons with her, she would always send it. Ellie is an incredibly understanding person and will work out every question at your pace building your confidence. I 100% recommend Ellie as a tutor! Thank you Ellie for all your help !

I am delighted to provide a reference for Ellie , who tutored my daughter in A Level Chemistry. She is an experienced and highly knowledgeable tutor who consistently demonstrated a positive and encouraging approach. Ellie explained complex topics clearly and thoroughly, ensuring my daughter understood each concept before moving on. Lessons were always well-prepared and thoughtfully tailored to suit her individual learning style and needs. Thanks to her support, my daughter made significant progress and gained much more confidence in the subject. I would highly recommend Ellie to any student seeking expert and personalised chemistry tuition.

Ellie is an amazing tutor! My son’s knowledge and confidence improved so much literally after the first couple of sessions. Ellie explains very difficult content in a way that her students can understand and remember. We are so grateful that we found her and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. Thanks for everything Ellie -YOU are amazing !

I can’t recommend Ellie enough. Her communication is clear, patient and encouraging. She knows how to meet you where you are and help to build your confidence. Anyone who works with her is in great hands.

My daughter really enjoyed her 1:1 sessions with Ellie. They were well structured and have helped her immensely with her revision for her gcse exams. We would highly recommend Ellie

Ellie helped my daughter Tilly to pass all three sciences. Tilly enjoyed the tuition and feels that without Ellie’s support she would not have gotten the grades achieved . I would heartily recommend to anybody

Ellis is such a calm and patient person who teaches in a very easy to understand way. Our son came on leaps and bounds with Ellie’s tutoring & achieved strong GCSE grades in Science (9 in Chemistry, 8 in Biology and 7 in Physics). He really enjoyed her sessions which is surely a sign of a great tutor!

Ellie has tutored my daughter for the last two years. My daughter went from being worried about studying A-level Chemistry to being confident and achieving great results; through Ellie’s caring nature, in depth knowledge, and hard work.
She is a fantastic tutor and I highly recommend her.

Ellie has been tutoring my children for the last 7 years. My children admired the way she taught, they really enjoyed her lessons and the results they achieved in the end would not have been possible without Ellie. I highly recommend Ellie for anyone who is struggling with Biology or Chemistry or needs help with exam technique. Thank you very much Ellie for all your support over the years, you are the best tutor I have ever worked with.

Ellie has been amazing at teaching chemistry, she has helped me understand concepts which I couldn't acquire from school. She is so good at explaining and teaching all the correct exam techniques which have been so helpful in the exam.

Ellie was an amazing tutor she really gave me confidence and helped me achieve the grade I wanted, which was a B. I couldn’t have done it without her help. She was happy to help with any questions even outside of the lesson and made me enjoy chemistry. Thanks Ellie x

Highly recommend!!! Ellie has genuinely been the best chemistry teacher I have had, she is also an examiner which is a great help as her knowledge is always up to date not only with content but also exam questions and mark schemes. She explains the chemistry in as much detail as you need as opposed to the majority of teachers who focus more on memorisation and wrote learning. So you have a good understanding (which is the best teaching style as exam questions can require a lot of application.) Ellie is also extremely kind and understanding, she has offered so much support from a mental health perspective. She truly goes above and beyond for her students :)

Ellie has been fantastic. She’s inspired Sam with confidence and clear understanding. Thanks for everything.

Ellie is both an experienced and knowledgeable tutor and a really lovely person. She has been helping my family this year with GCSE and A level exam preparation after all the school Covid disruption. Both children have found their 1:1 lessons with Ellie really beneficial - they have learnt so much and have really grown in confidence. We are very glad to have found you Ellie, thank you.

Ellie has given Maanvi the confidence in A Level chemistry, and has encouraged Maanvi to work hard and do well in this subject. Ellie had given maanvi additional help via her topic questions booklet ensuring that Maanvi is able to understand the topics thoroughly, and she has enjoyed the subject overall alot due to her extra lessons with Ellie. I am very grateful to Ellie for all her hard work and help for the last two years.

All that I can say is that Ellie is fantastic. When she was teaching myself and my brother A Level Chemistry, she always gave short, concise explanations of concepts in a way that we easily understood. Also, she gave us past paper questions after each topic so that we had plenty of practice at exam technique. She marked these and sent us feedback on what to improve on. This meant that when it came around to do our exams, we were fully prepared for them and confident that we could do well.

During lockdown, she was very flexible as she either had online lessons with us or set us exam papers that she marked and sent back to us with details on how to improve. Ellie’s tutoring gave us routine Chemistry revision that alleviated pressure and allowed us to balance our time on other A Level subjects.

We are very grateful to have had such an amazing tutor who was always cheerful and upbeat. Thank you!

My daughter needed an A level chemistry tutor. We had other tutors but I would firstly say my daughter was very particular about the type of tutor she wanted . She wanted someone very knowledgeable and someone to help tackle exam questions. My daughter is quite shy and due to her teacher at school had lost confidence. When my daughter had her first lesson with Ellie, she knew she was the right type of tutor.
Ellie instantly put my child at ease. Ellie is extremely knowledgeable and knows and knows exactly how to adapt to the style of teaching she required. My child gained confidence and improved greatly. I couldn’t recommend Ellie enough. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone. She is absolutely brilliant.

Ellie is such an amazing tutor and has helped my daughter so much with her A-Level Chemistry. She has a reassuring and supportive approach that immediately puts you at ease and makes each session both educational and enjoyable. She is extremely organized, with well planned sessions, ensuring she sends through any useful material or questions in advance of the session. Her understanding of the curriculum and marking scheme, coupled with her brilliant ability to explain topics in detail and with patience, gave my daughter so much more confidence in going into her A-Levels and I’m sure her results will reflect this. Ellie is by far the best tutor we have ever used and we’re so grateful for all her help. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Ellie is a wonderful Chemistry tutor and has always gone above and beyond to help me. I appreciate how she is able to make Chemistry simple and easy to understand. Ellie is a very positive and lovely person, well organised and is always prepared to help me in whatever way I need so I definitely recommend Ellie as a Chemistry tutor.

Ellie has been a very caring and helpful chemistry tutor, without her i wouldn’t have the grades I have achieved now, and thanks to her help I have improved massively. Ellie has constantly been patient and understanding with me, even when i have found myself overwhelmed with exams or even don’t understand something, she has always been very supportive and encouraging to carry on. Ellie has made learning chemistry so much easier to learn and i looked forward to our lessons every week. thank you Ellie! Love Ryia xxxx

Ellie has been working with my daughter in GCSE Biology and Chemistry. She is such a great teacher and was able to engage with my daughter in such a way that she felt supported and believed in her own ability. Ellie has great in depth knowledge in the syllabus and armed with focussed exam questions and answers for her students. I would highly recommend Ellie, she is an amazing tutor and a really lovely person.

Ellie is an excellent chemistry and biology tutor - she helped two of our children achieve great GCSE grades. She is patient and uses her oustanding knowledge about content and exam technique to explain the most challenging aspects of the sciences in a clear and memorable way. We 100% recommend Ellie as she will bring the best out of any student regardless of their initial grasp of the sciences.

I think Ellie is really helpful in all aspects of biology and chemistry. This is because I always understand a topic after Ellie has taught it to me. Also she gives lots of helpful exam practice so I can apply all the knowledge I have been taught so my tests always went well. I always knew the information inside out because Ellie tests me and makes sure I know a certain topic before moving on.

Ellie has taught my son for the last four years, through GCSE and A levels and prior to this she tutored my elder son too. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality Chemistry tuition. Ellie is outstanding- her knowledge of the syllabus, teaching styles tailored to individual needs and understanding of the requirements for examination answers as an examiner but more importantly the encouragement and recognition of your child’s strength have the greatest impact in building their self belief, especially in the challenges of the last year!

Ellie is fully equipped in her lessons such as allowing her students to attempt past paper questions after going through a topic. This gives her students a great opportunity to achieve well in their exams. I would highly recommend.

We asked Ellie as she’d already come highly recommend by friends. She has been instrumental in deepening my son’s grasp of chemistry A level and undoubtedly made all the difference in his gaining an A grade. Excellent communication with us about his progress and the areas he needed to focus on. Such a lovely lady too, a gem!

Ellie is a great tutor! She really went into detail about what the specification covers and thoroughly explained areas I was less confident in. Ellie’s also very organised and did plenty of past papers with me. She made revision more enjoyable and helped me improve in my ability to answer exam style questions!

My twins Sean and Seb have just taken their GCSE chemistry. They were tutored by Ellie who reinforced the difficult concepts now covered by the new GCSE syllabus. Throughout Ellie has been patient, approachable and friendly and is excellent at explaining, she also went through a lot of exam papers which boosted their confidence.
Both want to take A level chemistry and have asked if Ellie can can continue as their tutor which I feel is the best recommendation someone can get.

Absolutely fantastic tutor. Ellie is enthusiastic and explains concepts in a way that my son was able to understand. He went from a D in his first chemistry assessment test for A levels before starting with Ellie,to an A in his next test! His confidence in his abilities grew enormously with her help. Thank you Ellie.

Ellie has been my gcse and alevel tutor for chemistry and I cannot recommend her more highly. She is patient and explains all elements really clearly and gives you the confidence to believe you can achieve a grade much higher than you originally thought!

Ellie has really helped me to understand topics I wasn’t not confident in. She is patient and able to explain through notes with illustrations in detail to ensure I built on my knowledge. I would recommend Ellie to any students 5*

Given the step up in difficulty of the new linear Aqa A Level chemistry course, I couldn't have been happier with the tutoring and support Ellie gave my son.
She is extremely knowledgeable and very organised ensuring all topics are covered, setting sufficient homework and practise papers to reinforce the theories to be learnt. More importantly she is a hugely encouraging and friendly person who made my son feel confident in his own abilities. She goes the extra mile and provides excellent feedback after marking homework or practise papers so my son could see where he went wrong.
Messages of support before each exam highlight Ellie's caring side and her desire for her students to do well. Having 2 family bereavements during my sons exams demonstrated the depth of Ellie's teaching allowing him to still achieve his A grade under very upsetting and difficult circumstances. We were so proud he was able to secure his place at university for medicine. So impressed was I with Ellie I recommended her to 3 other parents. I know those students achieved an A grade and 2 A* grades respectively. Ellie is an amazing tutor who really does deliver results. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Ellie is a born scientist and teacher who explains everything so clearly.

She is also very nurturing and encouraging. She gave me the confidence to succeed.

I am so very grateful for all the help and support that Ellie has given me throughout my Chemistry A-Level. She has helped me to improve more than I ever thought I could! Ellie is very kind and patient, and is able to answer just about every science question known to man. Definitely, absolutley would recommend!

I found Ellie to be a first class tutor for my daughter.
I saw how her confidence grew as Ellie nurtured her through the areas of Chemistry that she hadn't quite grasped in class.
As Ellie developed her Chemistry skills, she began to believe in herself and this made a big difference to the preparation for exams.Ellie had a deep understanding of the person and this is what I believe made the difference. Ellie has an approach that shows she cares about her students, not just their grade potential, but their well being. She even messaged us the day before the exam with good luck wishes, and also followed up after the results came out.
Ellie has an accurate understanding of the exam board requirements and this is a real advantage.
Ellie helped my daughter beyond the call of duty, assessing past paper practices, which was very much appreciated as she has a demanding timetable. I don't believe that there is anyone else out there as good as Ellie.

Ellie is an excellent teacher - organised and thorough with a lovely personality. She was very familiar with the course requirements of the examination board and provided challenging questions which extended my thinking enabling me to obtain top marks in my A Level.

I've known Ellie for over twenty years. I've watched her growing into the beautiful, intelligent human being she is today.
She's a very conscientious, driven young lady, who I would highly recommend as a tutor. She has a passion for science and students would benefit well from her knowledge in this subject matter.

Ellie has a fab track record of high achieving students, is an experienced and engaging teacher with a wealth of knowledge around her subject but also extends to exam technique! Very patient and kind. Strongly recommend for both students who are struggling to those who are hoping to smash their results! She’s wonderful.

Ellie is an inspiring and patient teacher. She works hard to ensure pupils meet their full potential. I would highly recommend her to any pupil needing help with content, exam technique or just needing a confidence boost!

Ellie is so approachable and has a lovely welcoming manner. She always goes the extra mile to ensure that my daughter has a solid understanding of the subject and her passion for science always leaves my daughter feeling inspired.

Ellie is an amazing Chemistry tutor. Helped my son to improve from a D at AS level to A* in the final A level. He is now reading Medicine at Newcastle. In my sons words “she’s a sick tutor”. Highly recommended. Ravi
