Eleanor

I am an Actor and a graduate of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Before going to drama school I went to The University of Nottingham where I achieved a first class degree in English Language and Literature. I am self-motivated, enthusiastic and passionate about Drama and English. I went to school in Worcester where I achieved 4 A levels at A grade in English Literature, French, History and Music.

Tutoring Experience

I have recently moved back to Bristol with my husband and two children. I currently work freelance as a drama facilitator with West End in Schools delivering drama, history and PSHE workshops in primary schools. I have ten years experience of private tutoring in London and have received some lovely feedback. I have tutored children from the ages of 8 to 18 both individually and in pairs. I also worked as a Maths and English tutor with Explore Learning where I taught Maths and English to children aged 4 - 14 of various abilities. I received training in the National Curriculum as well as current tutoring methods.

Tutoring Approach

I am friendly and enthusiastic with a proven record of working well with children. I believe that every child can benefit from one-on-one tuition; whether they need extra help with a subject they are struggling with or they would relish the challenge of extension work. Private tuition can give them the extra time they need to let difficult ideas settle and to encourage them to ask questions and push themselves further. Above all I will try to make every session fun, relaxed and positive. This is not 'school' but a opportunity to bring their learning to life. One recent student said Eleanor is "Very knowledgeable with lots of experience in the world of acting and theatre. She really helped me to realise where I wanted to go with my career and has helped me to start writing screenplays after initially focusing on getting into drama school (I changed my mind and now want to write instead). She is very passionate and has helped me improve in leaps and bounds even in just the past few months. I would highly recommend working with her”.
