What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I love the challenge of figuring out how each individual learns best and tailoring my teaching and explanations to suit them. Seeing a student's eyes light up when they finally understand something they've been really struggling with and the boost in confidence that comes with it is the most rewarding thing.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I am very friendly and approachable and great at building a strong rapport with my students, so they always feel comfortable asking questions and really trying, even if it involves making mistakes along the way. I am passionate about psychology and am myself a creative thinker, which means I love finding different ways to teach things so that learning stays fun and different learning styles are met. Additionally, I am very responsible, clear, and confident in leading and communicating expectations, and am also great at thinking on my feet and adapting to different situations.Most important things I can do for a student π
I think the most important thing as a tutor is to support the student as a whole, not just focusing in on grades, but more broadly on what that child needs to be able to learn and grow to their best potential. For instance, helping students increase their self-confidence is extremely valuable. I also think inspiring students to want to learn, and cultivating core learning habits to prepare them for future independent learning, is extremely important.Subjects Tutored π

About Ella
Experienced Classroom Educator with a Psychology Background
Ella is a qualified psychology graduate who has spent several years working directly in primary classrooms, supporting children across a wide range of abilities. As a learning support assistant, she helped plan and adapt lessons, often stepping in to deliver full-class teaching across subjects when needed. Her psychology studies, including research into the experiences of students with neurodevelopmental differences, give her a strong understanding of how children learn and what can get in the way, which she brings into every tutoring session.
Targeted Support for Maths, English and SEND Learners
This tutor has extensive experience running 1:1 and small-group interventions in both maths and English, particularly for students who need a confidence boost or more individual attention. She has led differentiated maths groups, tracked progress carefully, and used creative activities such as story time, role play and arts and crafts to build language skills and comprehension. Ella is especially skilled at supporting children with additional learning needs, tailoring explanations, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and building routines that reduce anxiety.
Warm, Creative Approach that Builds Confidence
Ellaβs work in schools, outreach programmes and holiday camps has strengthened her ability to connect quickly with young people and make learning feel enjoyable rather than intimidating. She has designed and led arts and crafts classes, helped stage musicals, and frequently presented in front of groups, so she is comfortable engaging even shy students. This tutor focuses on building rapport first, then using clear structure and positive encouragement to help students take risks, ask questions, and gradually become more independent in their learning.
