Eleanor then returned to her Drama research, and completed her MEd (Drama) with Distinction in 2023.
Eleanor now runs the co-curricular LAMDA Speech and Drama provision in some of the UK’s most prestigious schools in Surrey and Hampshire, achieving a 100% Distinction and Merit pass rate with all examination candidates.
“I have an immense passion for teaching, and feel privileged to have such an enriching career. Through my teaching, I strive to make the studio a fully inclusive, inspirational environment in which students can develop and have their talents nurtured. Continued professional development is critical in the evolving world of performing arts education. I recognise and embrace the importance of reflecting upon current teaching strategies and adapting to the needs of students, and I am a great advocate of Drama in a child development capacity.”
