Personally Interviewed

Tutoring Experience

My passion for Chemistry began during my PGCE in Secondary Science at the Institute of Education, London, where I specialised in Chemistry. I went on to teach at James Allen's Girls' School, guiding students towards A-Level success and Oxbridge entry as Head of Oxbridge and Sixth Form Tutor. Since then, my focus has been on private tutoring, helping A-Level Chemistry students excel through tailored support and exam preparation.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to A-Level Chemistry is centred on simplifying challenging topics like organic mechanisms or thermodynamics into manageable, understandable steps. I focus on building a solid foundation of core principles, using past papers and practical examples to enhance problem-solving skills. By fostering a positive learning environment, I help students feel confident and prepared to tackle their exams with success.

Testimonials

"Ellie is tutoring my daughter, who at the moment is 15 years old and is preparing for her GCSEs. Ellie is being absolutely amazing, and friendly with my daughter, Ellie gives really good explanations which help my daughter understand her. She is enjoying her lesson and I highly recommend her"

Maria, parent of GCSE student

"Ellie tutored my son a few years ago in Chemistry and her warm and focused approach paid dividends. Not only did my son not complain when Ellie was due to arrive, but he positively looked forward to it. Additionally, he gained high grades in his exams, and I believe he went up a grade, if not two grades, based on the tutoring that Ellie did. I could never speak highly enough of Ellie and what she did for my son!"
