About Eleanor
I’m an experienced teacher and creative writing tutor with a first class degree in Philosophy and Modern Languages from University College London, including one year of study at Université de Paris-Sorbonne.
I have five years of teaching experience with individuals, school groups, arts organisations and community groups. I’ve taught English Literature and creative writing with a wide range of organisations, including The Barbican Centre, The Poetry School and The Midnight Run.
I also have experienced mentoring Gifted & Talented youth on Warwick University's 'International Gateway for Gifted Youth' programme, of which I was formerly a member.
My specialities are English Literature, English Language and Philosophy. My students have ranged from 11 to 80 years of age, and I have substantial experience working with students for whom English is not their first language.
My lessons use creative, engaging techniques tailored to the needs and goals of each student, to help them unlock their true potential. I combine a passion for the subjects with a rigorous focus on exam strategy and study techniques. My goal is to improve grades, and give students both the tools and the drive for long term academic flourishing. I’m dedicated to fostering a safe, enjoyable learning environment, where we work to identify areas for improvement and map out strategies to maximise success. I believe an approach grounded in kindness, patience, and fun is key to helping students with areas of difficulty, reluctance or stress. Overall, I am focused on helping students believe in their own potential and giving them the support they need to meet it.
As a recipient of both an academic scholarship and an arts scholarship to my secondary school, I know how life-changing exam success can be. I’m committed to helping students secure those transformative opportunities.
I’m also a prize-winning writer, poet and author, with multiple national awards for creative writing. Those include a London Writers Award 2021, the Poetry London Prize 2020 and the Verve Poetry Festival Prize 2020. I’m represented by Harriet Moore of David Higham Literary Agency. This work has redoubled my passion for teaching literature, and I have honed my skills through my years of freelance teaching.
I offer high-quality, individually-tailored creative writing lessons. These can optionally be combined with qualification-focused teaching to engage students with English Literature and English Language, and help give them a practical understanding of the nuts and bolts of writing that they can then apply to their school work.

Eleanor tutored a small group I was part of for the creative writing portion of an English programme I took part in. She is an excellent teacher—insightful, patient, and supportive. She also provided excellent resources that I still reference from time to time, and her passion is infectious. I can't recommend her highly enough
Eleanor is a dedicated, empathetic, energetic and kind teacher with a breadth of experience sharing her love of language and philosophy across many delivery types, including mentoring and workshop programmes.
She is a prize-winning poet, journalist and essayist with a natural flair and passion for teaching. She would be an asset to any young person or adult looking to improve their skills in English, French, Philosophy, Poetry or Creative Writing.View more recommendations
