About ELS Tutoring
We strongly believe children will achieve their best when they feel safe, happy and confident. Learning new skills through a context they enjoy, whether that’s sports, animals, history, fiction or technology.
We use this personalised approach to provide an unique learning package for pupils of all ages.
How it all started ?
My name is Emma and I am here to make your life a whole lot easier. My business has evolved from my two main passions in life – education and being and mum!
With over twenty successful years working in schools as a teacher and headteacher, spending half of that time, spinning plates with being a full time mum; my aim is to help families with the daily stresses of supporting children with their education.
The impact of the pandemic and ‘home schooling’ allowed parents to have a real insight into their child’s learning. Many, including myself, found teaching their own child an impossible challenge!
I strongly believe children will achieve their best when they feel safe, happy and confident, learning new skills through a context they enjoy; whether that’s sports, animals, history, fiction or technology. For the duration of the lockdowns, I used this personalised approach to provide online learning for children of all ages. Many of these, I still work with today.
For various reasons, the school setting does not suit every child and I now have the absolute privilege of working with a small group of children who remain home educated. Through first quality teaching and learning, they continue to progress and achieve so much through a creative personalised curriculum.
Fast forward two years and now I am the proud founder of ELS Tutoring and Educational Services Ltd.

Highly recommend Emma. My daughter stated having some small group sessions recently and I am amazed at the progress she has made. She has achieved more with Emma in six weeks than in her entire home schooling since lockdown. most importantly my daughter enjoys the sessions and looks forward to them. Emma makes learning fun and I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.
