Ellie Cohen

Your Science Tutor in Bromsgrove

I’m Ellie Cohen, the founder of Bright Fern Education. I didn’t start my career in a classroom. At the start of my career I trained as a chemical engineer, because I wanted to do something meaningful and practical in the world. I ended up spending over half a decade working as a chocolate engineer (Yes, that is a real job!). While I loved the problem solving, I kept finding myself drawn to the moments when I could help someone understand something new.

Becoming a mum made me think even more deeply about the kind of support young people need to thrive. It nudged me toward the realisation that the biggest difference I could make was working directly with learners. I took the leap and joined my local SCITT programme to train as a teacher.

Being a neurodivergent educator shapes the way I teach. I know how powerful it is when learning finally clicks because it’s explained in a way that fits how your brain works. That feeling of being understood is something I want every student to experience.

Bright Fern grew from that idea. It’s a space where learners can show up exactly as they are, feel supported, and grow in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them.
