Ella has been great for our girl Evie. She was her teacher for part of this year and I could not wish for a more supportive teacher for my girl. We will definitely be getting in touch for tutoring sessions now she has stepped away from classroom teaching. Definitely recommend, good luck to you x

Although I have not worked with Ella as a tutor, I have worked with her in a nursery. The children loved her when she used to do circle time as our preschool teacher! Children and parents love her and I think she's brilliant x You'd be lucky to have her for your little ones x Susie xx

I was lucky enough to attend university with Ella where we carried out our teacher training together. Ella’s natural flair and passion for making a young difference to young people’s lives was always very inspiring during lectures and whilst on our placements. Ella is extremely organised and her creative talents always resulted in her having the best resources for her lessons! Ella also has a fabulous sense of humour and a big heart which will be sure to leave your little one feeling at ease and excited for their sessions. I couldn’t think of anyone better to recommend! 🫶🏻

I had the privilege to work closely with Ella in our two placement schools when we were training to be teachers. She is a kind, caring and conscientious individual who puts the needs of children in her class first. She has a wonderful sense of humour and was able to form many positive relationships with the children she taught. Ella is organised and always well resourced, making sure her lessons are engaging and interactive. I believe Ella will make a fabulous tutor!

# data[].attributes.body
I can vouch that Ella is definitely the person you should use for your child’s tutoring. Knowing her as a classroom teacher, her passion for supporting the children’s learning as well as their confidence and emotional development when children may not find learning the easiest. My children love her! I think it’s amazing that she is stepping away from teaching to pursue tutoring full time. I 100% recommend. Good luck Ella!

I was lucky enough to work with Ella at her previous school. She was a highly valued member of the team with an exceptional track record in driving attainment. All of the children loved having her as a teacher due to her positivity and kindness. She will make an excellent tutor!

This year is our second year with Ella. We used her tutoring group last year for our eldest daughter, who will start grammar school in a couple of months after flying through her entrance exams. This year Ella has been supporting our son. He is quite different to his sister in some ways, and Ella has adapted her approach accordingly. It is no exaggeration to say that Ella's input was the game changer for my son in terms of accessing the support he needed for his neurodivergence. He has come on leaps and bounds since receiving his diagnosis. His grammar school entrance exams are coming up in September, and regardless of how they go, we know he has an infinitely better grasp of maths and English because of his sessions with Ella. We are hopeful he will pass the exams and get into his preferred school, but either way we know he is starting year 6 far more prepared and able than he would otherwise have been. Our third child will start sessions with Ella in September and we already know it will go well, because we have had such positive experiences with her Study Spot already. Ella provides weekly feedback on each session, tells us where we can be focusing for home studying, and invites a two-way dialogue about what we feel would be helpful to cover and where we see our children thriving or struggling.

We are a large and busy family. Having a great tutor to book in with, as each of our children prepares for secondary, and aims for grammar school, is a relief and a comfort. We highly recommend Ella to anyone who is looking for an 11+ tutor. We aren't even halfway through our clan yet, but we know where we are booking everyone as their turns come around 😊. Helen

I worked with Ella for 3 years at a previous school and you will not find a more dedicated, gifted educator to tutor your children. She was able to get the absolute best out of her classes of 30 (sparking a love of learning, too) each year. Imagine the impact she can have on your child on a 1:1 or small group situation. I would 100% recommend. Your child will learn and flourish with a smile on their face!

# data[].attributes.body
I worked with Ella in a Year 6 class as a Teaching Assistant. During the time spent working together, I observed Ella to be a mindful, caring and competent teacher. She valued not only her colleagues and peers, but also each pupil, their parents, carers and family.

She is a devoted and talented person, who many times brings her own personal things, time and ideas into the school setting, with view to maximise students’ experiences. She also makes sure that every student feels seen and listened to, included in group dynamics, challenged in a way that is appropriate for them, and celebrated for their own strengths and values.

Ella is an organised, proactive and innovative professional that finds engaging ways to tutor her pupils, explaining content in a comprehensive and accessible manner, clarifying questions and difficult topics with ease.

At the school we worked, not only did our class pupils adore her as their teacher, while still maintaining a respectful relationship and answering to instructions when needed, but also did other children in the school, who often would come to her and smile as soon as they would see her.

I can confidently say that Ella is a great professional and amazing person, both inside and outside the classroom, with many qualities, including a contagious enthusiasm for teaching and learning, creative thinking for educational activities, and a strong focus on the wellbeing of the children that she teaches.

I would definitely recommend Ella as a teacher and tutor, and I am sure that she will leave any student, parent or colleague with the same feeling.

Absolutely delighted with the tutor we've chosen for my daughter's 11+ exam preparation! She has connected wonderfully with her tutor, who has proven to be not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for effective and engaging tutoring for their child. Truly a great match for us!

Ella tutored my daughter when she was working as a teacher in Croydon. My daughter's confidence grew sooo much over just a few months...which meant more to me than the grades she was getting anyway! It showed how much she really cared. I am going to be recommending her to everyone :) Jess mum

Oh my goodness!! Ella supported my son like no other professional ever has. Last year my son was refusing to come to school and when he did go he eventually had to be picked up due to his unmanageable behaviour. Ella came along and he absolutely adored her. She put the time in to really get to know him (his love of Arsenal) and everything changed. He was doing spellings in his own time without being asked!! He went to school with a smile on his face and progressed so much with his work. Please if you are in the market for tutoring, then take the leap with Ella. You won’t regret it, she’s brilliant and deserves all of this!❤️

I was an LSA in Ella’s first Year 5 class. From the moment I met Ella I realised she was a truly wonderful individual, who had a lot of knowledge and passion for teaching. She got to know all the children within the classroom which allowed her to create fun learning resources, build relationships and be able to communicate with each individual. It was such a honour to work under Ella as it allowed me to learn a lot from her teaching style as well as how she delivered the learning to the class and create a passion of learning amongst the children. I was an LSA working with two children who required adapted resources for each lesson. Ella created these daily, where the two children were able to learn alongside their peers with personalised resources. Ella was such an inspiration I ended up completing my PGCE and am now a teacher. Observing the passion, care and enthusiasm Ella has not only inspired children but adults too.

Hello, I am a student in Year 5. Ella has been helping me for the past 5 months with Maths and English so I can get into the secondary school I want. Ella is the best tutor you will ever find!! She helps me learn but in a fun way! My favourite is the quizzes she makes for me. I am sad that I won't see Ella anymore but I feel lucky to have met her. I can finally say I can tell the time! Woohooo! Thank you!!!!!!

After a school year that felt like a rollercoaster with numerous teacher changes, we were on the hunt for a tutor to help our son gear potentially prepare for the 11+ exam and boost his learning. Our initial contact with a tutoring centre left us uneasy due to their strict, study-only approach. Then, Ella appeared on my Instagram feed and felt she would be an ideal match for our son. After a home visit where our son clicked with her instantly, we knew we'd struck gold. Over the past six+ months, we've watched our son's confidence and independence with schoolwork soar. He eagerly anticipates his weekly sessions with Ella and always comes back buzzing about the fun he had, especially enjoying the small group setting. Ella has a knack for making learning feel like an adventure, and our son even enjoys doing his homework! We feel incredibly lucky to have found her.

Ella’s class made big difference in my daughter education. Ella’s support has been invaluable. She is a brilliant teacher who truly understands the needs of her students and identifies where they need assistance. Her dedication and expertise have made a significant difference in my daughter learning journey.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed having Ella as my tutor the past few months. She was really encouraging and helpful and made everything - even really hard, boring practice papers - fun and enjoyable. I feel really confident about my exam now. She was always helping me improve and it was lovely being tutored for my exam by her. (Emily, aged 10).

# data[].attributes.body
My son started 1:1 lessons during half terms and school holidays earlier this year. Ella’s lessons are so fun and engaging which is part of what makes her so special. My son has always said he doesn’t like learning and finds it difficult. After just one session with Ella he couldn’t wait to go back. I am asked daily how long it is until his next session. We will continue 1:1 sessions until he is in year 3 where he will start weekly sessions and he cannot wait. I am so unbelievably grateful that we have found Ella and I cannot thank her enough for her support so far.

# data[].attributes.body
We signed up with Ella after a really lovely home visit in which is was clear our daughter had found someone she could connect with. We have found the sessions brilliantly engaging and the improvements in our daughter's work, confidence and practice paper outcomes have been clear and compelling. Ella sends an email after every session updating us on what has been worked on, how the session has gone and where we can continue to work and consolidate the learning. We have already signed our son up and although he requires a very different approach, he is also really enjoying the sessions. We would highly recommend Ella!

# data[].attributes.body
Kind, friendly and welcoming - Ella is an amazing tutor and my son is progressing so much since starting with her.

I highly recommend Ella to everyone that asks me about tutoring lessons.

My son enjoys his weekly lessons and what Ella has planned for him.

Ella is well organised and her lesson plans are fantastic.

Really enjoy reading the well written and informative reports we receive weekly to see how my son is doing.

Best decision we made to have Ella tutoring our son.

Thank you Ella!

My son is so excited for his lesson every week. Ella keeps him super engaged with her fantastic lesson planning and themes.

I have seen such a progression with his learning in the time he has been with Ella.

As a parent I love to see my son happy and enjoying his learning. I appreciate every week when I receive the detailed feedback from his lesson which helps me stay up to date with how he is doing.

Ella is a lovely person and is always so welcoming.

Thank you Ella for all you do!

Ella is a truly fantastic tutor — warm, engaging, and incredibly passionate about what she does. My child always comes away from her sessions feeling inspired and full of confidence. Whether it's during term time or the holiday workshops, Ella has a real gift for making learning fun and meaningful. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Ella, for all that you do!

Ella has been an outstanding tutor and I feel so lucky we have found her. Her dedication and personalised approach have made a significant difference in my daughter's confidence and learning journey. She is brilliant at explaining tricky concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. My daughter loves her maths lessons now, something I thought would never happen. Ella puts so much effort into every class making sure that it's fun and engaging. We’re incredibly grateful for the positive impact she’s had. My daughter absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every week. I highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and passionate tutor.

# data[].attributes.body
The moment we met Ella we had a really good feeling about her and we weren’t wrong. Our son absolutely loves going to her sessions and comes back thirsty to learn more! Learning is literally super fun and engaging with Ella and we love her enthusiasm and energy. She clearly loves what she does and the difference she makes to the children. She goes above and beyond and makes feedback personalised which is great. Highly recommend this amazing lady!

# data[].attributes.body
We contacted Ella through her instagram. Our son has been attending a group session weekly for around 6 months and he honestly loves the opportunity to learn in a small group and with material he can truly relate to. Each child has a the chance to pick their own theme for the week and this makes it so appealing to him.

He understands the learning clearly and this definitely gives him a head start on his current school curriculum. Ella’s availability within the lessons for questions and out of lessons for advice is key and we’re delighted we took the step into calling her. We would very much recommend Ella to everyone who is thinking about some extra tuition for their child. Our Son looks forwards to each session and comes out of the sessions full of enthusiasm when I pick him up.

# data[].attributes.body
The way Ella teaches is exactly what we were looking for - her sessions are engaging and interactive and are helping our daughter to explore maths and build her confidence in the subject.

It’s fantastic to receive the weekly updates and de-briefs so we we know what’s being covered in each session and how Ella tailors the sessions to each of the children’s needs to focus on specific areas of development as required.

Our daughter looks forward to attending each week and always comes hone with a smile on her face telling us everything she has been doing. This is what learning should be about.

# data[].attributes.body
Ella has been tutoring my daughter for Year 5 and we've both had a super experience. Ella is exceptionally communicative after each session, giving me a clear idea of progress, next steps etc. But more importantly my daughter has thrived from the carefully planned sessions, building in competency but much more importantly she has grown in confidence. She has previously shied away from new subjects at school or new concepts in maths, but now she shows an amazing resilience and excitement in approaching these. I can't recommend these small sessions highly enough to really cement learning in year 5, but also to be shown year 6 and beyond skills so my daughter is super prepared for what comes next. Thank you Ella

We’re so grateful to have found Ella! Since my son started working with her, his confidence and love for learning have grown tremendously.

Ella has a wonderful way of making children feel at ease—she’s kind, patient, and always full of encouragement. Every lesson is fun, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, which keeps him motivated and excited to learn.

Ella is also incredibly organised and professional. She provides clear, detailed feedback after each session, which I really appreciate as a parent. It’s so helpful to understand what they’ve been working on and how he’s progressing.

I’m genuinely impressed by how much he’s improved, both academically and in his overall attitude towards learning. I’m so pleased we found Ella and can’t wait for my daughter to join her in September too!

Ella has been my son’s tutor for a year now all through year 5. She has been amazing and I can’t recommend enough. She is kind and engaging and has built up his confidence massively. He has made great progress towards his sats in English and Maths. Ella provides a detailed update after each session and offers personalised support when needed relating to any issues at school. We can’t wait to work with her again next year.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you sincerely for your patience, effort, and dedication with my 3 kids. I truly appreciate the time, care, and energy you put into supporting them—not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. Your ability to guide, encourage, and understand them makes such a difference, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and motivated to grow. We’re very grateful to have you as their teacher. ❤️

After meeting and having trial session with a few different tutors, we, along with our daughter chose to book Ella's small group sessions.

I can honestly say, it was the best decision we made. Her sessions are engaging, fun and rewarding, whilst being packed with curriculum based content.

Our daughter loves her time with Ella and retains so much of what she is taught. She looks forward to attending each week and is glad that as a Year 3 student, she is gently encouraged to learn Year 4 & 5 content.

Ella provides us with detailed weekly feedback, that is incredibly useful and is available to speak to us about any topics we feel our daughter might need extra support with.

We are so glad we found Ella & are excited to stay with her as she gently preps our daughter for her 11+. Even our daughter in Year 2 is excited to start with Ella next year! Now that says a lot :)

Thank you so much Ella!

My son was reluctant to go to a tutor and got bored of previous ones, but he willingly runs into The Study Spot by Ella! Ella makes sure each session is engaging and understands each pupil so well, tailoring the support they need. Relating topics to their interests, along with her encouragement, we’ve seen huge leaps in my son’s progress at school and in his work ethic when it comes to homework. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
We have had Ella for 6 months or so and within the first month there were no more eye rolls from my daughter when I asked her to read. Now she insists on reading every night before bed. Her confidence in maths was most noticeable 4 months in. My daughter really enjoys the weekly sessions and always looks forward to them. Highly recommend!

Ella has been an absolute blessing for us. Since Emily started her group lessons last year, the progress in her maths has been amazing – she’s not only improved so much in her understanding, but she now approaches her work with a confidence we hadn’t seen before.

What we love most is how Ella makes every single lesson so interactive and unique. She always takes the time to tailor her 1:1 sessions exactly to Emily’s needs (we’ve had 1:1 sessions with Ella weekly in the summer) and the way she brings in different themes makes learning so much fun that Emily actually looks forward to her lessons!

The difference Ella has made goes far beyond the classroom – she has truly given Emily the gift of believing in herself.

She honestly feels like the real-life Miss Honey, and we’re so, so grateful to have found her.

Really looking forward to continue this journey for Emily’s small groups sessions from September.

My daughter has just finished her 11+ tutoring with Ella and she LOVED it. Ella has a wonderful way of capturing their attention and have them eager to learn and achieve. Her group sessions are always wonderfully thought through and the email summary after each session is particularly helpful - as well as homework from Ella’s session, Ella would also set her additional Atom homework on areas our daughter found tricky which was really helpful. Even our toddler would look forward to going to see Ella weekly when we collected our eldest! She is a fantastic tutor that really helps build their confidence and realise they can do hard things and stretch themselves with her support.

Would recommend her in a heartbeat and hope she’s still local when our little one is old enough for a tutor!

Ella is a truly dedicated tutor, when our son started his 11+ journey we knew he was clever but he was lacking certain skills. Ella identified them quickly and tailored her teaching to strengthen those skills whilst making it engaging and fun. We were amazed at the progress he made throughout this journey and we can say this is all due to Ella and her way of teaching. We are all very grateful to you Ella and our heartfelt thank you to you. We would recommend 100%.  James & Bahee

We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have found such an outstanding tutor in Ella for our son over the past few years. When he first started, he was struggling to keep up at school and lacked confidence in his abilities. Thanks to Ella's support, he has made remarkable progress and is now performing above expected levels.

Ella's communication with us as parents has been excellent throughout. We receive detailed, thoughtful updates each week, giving us clear insight into what he’s working on, how he’s progressing, and where he needs further support.

Most importantly, our son genuinely enjoys his sessions. Ella brings creativity and energy to each lesson, making learning fun and engaging rather than a chore. That enthusiasm has been infectious and has played a big part in his improvement.

We couldn’t recommend Ella more highly. Thanks Ella (Lucas' mum)
