Award-winning actor, director and teacher with over a decade of industry experience teaches acting and public speaking for all levels. LAMDA exams, audition prep or just for the joy of it!

Elinor has been absolutely fantastic, a consummate professional. Our daughter loved working with her, her skill, ability and appreciation of the subject matter improved vastly and, as parents, we found Elinor to be kind, reliable and hard working. The effort she put into lessons went well beyond the time spent with my daughter. I would highly recommend.

I have known Elinor for many years as both an actor and more recently as a LAMDA teacher for my son.

We initially began lessons to help build his general confidence, and the impact has been truly transformational - not only in boosting his self-assurance but also in developing his acting skills. I never imagined he would want to take exams, but thanks to Elinor’s approach, he’s now genuinely excited about them!

Elinor is a brilliant teacher: encouraging, adaptable, and exceptionally skilled at drawing out the best in people. She has a natural ability to connect, inspire, and nurture talent, and I’m so grateful for the positive influence she’s had on my son.

I have known Elinor for many years as we are both Midland actors so would often see each other on jobs.

Elinor is one of the most talented performers I know and I was thrilled when she agreed to coach me for the Norman Beaton Fellowship audition 2025 (naturally- she was the deserving winner in 2020)

She was so insightful with knowledge about the text/previous performances in our chat prior to me reading, then when I read and she gave 'offers' of new twists, layers and variants I could change we were both really happy with the results and shift in dynamic of the pieces.

Needless to say I wouldn't have reached the finals of NBF 2025 without her coaching sessions and I’d fully recommend her for any form of acting coaching. She is an incredible director as well as performer and her skill set and perspectives are phenomenal. All in all she's an absolute force .

Thank you Elinor, i'm super grateful and will be back for more coaching soon.

As an academic scientist I have often struggled to communicate my thoughts and ideas verbally. After just a few sessions with Elinor I found myself noticeably improving in my delivery and clarity, giving me more confidence in lecturing to a range of audiences. She is a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor clearly conveying to me basic acting techniques that have been invaluable in enhancing my communication skills to the next level.
