Mr. Stelling. Mr. Stelling is an Oxford-educated minister, a fact that is very impressive to members of the local community like Mr. Tulliver and Mr. Riley. He has great ambitions to write books and become a man of influence, but seems to have little motivation to actually write. He takes in pupils to fund his expensive lifestyle, although he is not a very gifted teacher. He is unable to find a way to engage Tom in his studies, for example, since he decides that Tom is “slow.” He teaches Latin and geometry to Tom and Philip, and only the latter excels in the classroom.
