Teaching Philosophy
"Mathematics is the art of precise thinking. At Cambridge, I learned that true mathematical ability comes not from memorising methods, but from understanding why they work and knowing when to adapt them. I help students build that flexibility — the confidence to approach an unfamiliar problem and reason their way to a solution rather than recall a template."
Teaching Style
Rigorous and proof-led. I emphasise clear mathematical writing, careful reasoning, and the connections between topics, so students develop the fluency and confidence that the most demanding exams and Oxbridge interviews reward.

What students say
"Eleanor's preparation for STEP was exceptional. She taught me to write proofs with clarity and to approach unfamiliar problems systematically. I secured my Cambridge offer."
"My Further Maths grade jumped from a B to an A* in two terms. Eleanor's patient, rigorous style made even the hardest pure maths topics feel genuinely understandable."
