Tutoring and mentorship in Los Angeles and beyond.
The world isn’t standardized.
Teaching someone how to learn is a far more important task than simply how to get by on a standardized test.
At Hockenhull Tutoring, we help K-12 students become all-round learners by building self-reliance, developing tools, and looking outside schoolwork for ways to grow.
Ollo Clark, Founder
I attended Eton College, Oxford University, and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), so I’m lucky enough to know the value of a good education and, more importantly, the teacher-student relationship at the root of it.
I’ve been a tutor for ten years, and in that time I’ve worked with a huge range of clients, including non-native English speakers, royal and political families, scholarship seekers, and homeschooled kids. No matter the student, I always tailor my approach around their needs, and enjoy never taking the same approach twice.
I focus on building confidence, drive, problem-solving, and research literacy. A tutor is a fantastic tool, but can become a crutch, so I always set out to make sure you don’t need me for too long.
Testimonials
"Ollo has all the qualities you are looking for in a great tutor - personable, professional, caring, and experienced. Our son enjoyed his lessons with Ollo and we are extremely grateful for all his help. He is brilliant at giving students confidence and the necessary skills to approach [his exams] with vigour. We have seen dramatic improvement in our son’s writing and exam results!”

"Ollo was a fantastic tutor, and Pied Piper to our three boys and two other children with whom we formed a COVID pod. Ollo is an incredibly insightful tutor, able to teach and support emotionally, and work with diverse personalities and grade levels. His own excitement for exploring content with our kids was contagious. A wonderfully smart and fun scholar to have had in our family.”
— Parent, Los Angeles
"My Name is D—, I’m 11 years old. Last year I was tutored by Ollo in preparation for my 11+ and school entrance exams. Ollo’s methods of tutoring were extremely helpful. He gave me confidence in myself and helped me prepare for my exams. Without his support I feel I would have been at a huge disadvantage. Ollo explains things in an enthusiastic, fun way, making it easier to understand. I particularly enjoyed the fun learning activities which he incorporated into our tutoring sessions. I realise now how much of what I learnt I have retained and am making use of in secondary school. Ollo is a fantastic, caring tutor, I really enjoyed our sessions and am pleased to say I have achieved beyond my expectations.”
