I'm Ellen, your tutor.
I’m a first-class Psychology graduate and I’m currently completing my primary teacher training. Before moving into teaching, I spent time working in a SEND school and five years as a youth worker with Southend City Council, supporting children and young people with a wide range of needs, personalities and levels of confidence. Those experiences have shaped the way I work now. I’m calm, patient and relationship-focused, and I take time to understand the child in front of me rather than expecting every child to learn in the same way. I’m also child first-aid trained and place safeguarding, trust and professionalism at the heart of every session.
Teaching has always been a big part of my life. My mum, nan, aunts and cousins all work in education, so I’ve grown up around people who care deeply about helping children learn and thrive. I’m also a busy mum to Henry, 4, and Arthur, 2, so I understand first-hand what family life is really like, including tired children, short attention spans, competing routines and the need to make learning feel manageable rather than pressured. My aim is not simply to help children get through more work. I want them to become more confident, independent learners who feel proud of what they can achieve.
