About Ellie
Prior to teaching, I worked for many years with children and adults with special needs. As a result I have developed a patient, fun and flexible approach to teaching/tutoring! I have worked both as a class teacher and as a 1:1 and am comfortable adapting my teaching for a range of learning styles.
Whilst most of my experience is in a primary setting, I studied English Literature up to degree level and would comfortably tutor up to this level for that particular subject. Similarly, I studied English Language at A-level and researched further into these theories whilst undertaking my PGCE. It also plays a large role in the teaching of phonics/English in primary school and I would therefore, again, feel confident teaching this subject up to A-level standard.
I took and passed the 11-plus (many years ago) and have also had a lot of experience preparing year 2s for their SATs so these are also subjects that I feel confident teaching. Particularly verbal and non-verbal reasoning tests.

I like to contextualise learning in order for students to engage with and recall it easier.
I also believe in the importance of asking questions frequently so students can apply previously learnt information to new scenarios, thus strengthening their understanding of a topic. For example, using real world scenarios for things like times tables.
I also encourage students to ask me questions throughout and like to talk ‘with’ students rather than ‘at’ them as I find this improves both engagement and understanding (speaking from both personal and professional experience!)

Ellie is a reliable and trustworthy person with years of experience teaching children in and out of schools. I have known her personally for many years and have seen first hand that she is a fantastic teacher with a passion for her students. She is warm, compassionate and excellent at breaking topics down into understandable and engaging sections. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Ellie is my daughter and has achieved QTS with a PGCE from Goldsmiths University. She has worked for many years with children who have a range of needs, so can be creative in designing materials to match different personalities and learning styles. She is fun and bubbly with a great sense of humour, which makes children feel comfortable and valued.
Ellie has been a fantastic tutor to my niece in primary school, developing her English Literature skills. I have known Ellie personally for years and she has upmost patience, skills and professionalism to help my niece reach her full potential. Highly recommended.
