Ella is absolutely fantastic. Her lessons are carefully planned to develop a range of acting techniques, and focus on the needs of the individual child. Ella is so encouraging and really gets the best results! She is always mindful of any self tapes/auditions/exams coming up and works to ensure the student is fully prepared and ready! Ella is a highlight to our week.

Ella kept the class interactive and engaging throughout, helping bring out the best in my daughter (age 7) with various techniques to memorise the scripts, feeling the expressions and depth for her LAMDA Acting exam securing her a Distinction. Every week was fun, something new and loads of fun whilst gaining the confidence to fly! Highly recommend Ella as LAMDA Tutor as she works together with families and catering their needs and comes up with best solution for your child 😀

Luna has absolutely loved every coaching session with Ella. She has a wonderful way of making learning feel like play, while clearly being an expert at what she does. Ella is incredibly patient and intuitive with younger children, especially those who find it hard to sit still, and she keeps them engaged through imaginative, playful acting exercises that truly work. Since working with Ella, Luna’s confidence and ability have grown enormously. Her coaching has been instrumental in helping Luna book jobs and secure representation with one of the top child actor agents. We’re incredibly grateful for Ella’s encouragement, guidance, and infectious enthusiasm — we honestly couldn’t have done this journey without her.
