About Ella
I have an Oxford Classics offer, am predicted 4 A*s at A level (Latin, Greek, French, Spanish), and received 11 grade 9s at GCSE. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and I especially love 1 to 1 tutoring, where I can get to know a student and better tailor my lessons. I’d be very happy to mark essays or translations in my own time prior to lessons.
I’m equally passionate about providing university admissions support and I have a strong understanding of what admissions tutors are looking for. I will be able to help candidates find supercurriculars that excite them and make them stand out.

I offer personalised tuition in beginner’s, GCSE and A-Level Latin and Ancient Greek, as well as university admissions preparation, including Oxbridge applications. As a language tutor, I focus on making challenging material feel manageable, adapting lessons to each student's needs and learning style. My students have consistently made strong progress and exceeded their predicted grades. As a university admissions coach, I provide help with finding supercurriculars, crafting personal statements, and interview practice for humanities courses (e.g. Classics, modern languages, English, History).

At the beginning of Year 11, I lacked confidence in both Latin Language and Literature and struggled with many aspects of the subject. Working with Ella completely changed that. Through her weekly support, I improved by several grades and developed a much stronger understanding of Latin.
Ella is exceptionally patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She explains even the most complex concepts in a clear and thorough manner. No question was ever too small, and she could answer everything with confidence and depth of knowledge, always ensuring that I fully understood a topic before moving on.
What sets Ella apart is her ability to adapt her teaching to each student and create a supportive environment where making mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn. She cares about her students’ progress and goes above and beyond to help them succeed.
One of the things that stood out most was her commitment to helping me during exam season. Our weekly sessions gave me structure, improved my confidence, and transformed Latin from one of my most uncertain subjects into a subject I genuinely enjoyed and felt capable in.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for a Latin tutor who is dedicated, approachable, and capable of helping students achieve significant improvement, Ella is an excellent choice.Ella completely transformed my GCSE revision. I was incredibly demotivated and was getting 5s and 6s. After Ella’s guidance and tutoring I began to feel confident and finally began to understand things that made no sense. I was borderline failing latin and did not understand a word my teacher was saying and found it deathly boring. Ella’s advice gave me a love of the subject I had once hated.
My daughter Ella is both an academic superstar and a kind, patient and generous person. She has excelled at school, in all subjects but particularly English and modern and ancient languages. She is an avid reader. She has also embraced many opportunities to share her knowledge and love of literature with younger students, teaching in her own school and at other local state schools in the area.
