All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I am a professional actor with a range of experience in stage performance, having toured the UK, Europe and the USA. I run drama workshops for schools and universities and also coach individuals.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach all forms of acting and drama. My own performance experience leads me to specialise in Shakespeare and classical texts but am equally comfortable with modern drama. I am happy to work towards drama school auditions, help with theatre studies / drama exams for school, or work on acting technique with keen amateur actors.
I am also able to tutor students of GCSE and A-Level English.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a BA in Professional Acting from LAMDA.
I also have a BA in English and Philosophy from Leeds University (first class).
- How much do you charge?
For auditions and vocational drama lessons I currently charge £25 p/h as an introductory rate! This is likely to go up to £30 next year. For GCSE tutoring I charge £30, and for A-Level £35 p/h. Prices for group workshops on request.
I also have some charges for travel:
under 3 miles - £ free.
Over 3 miles but within London zone 4 - £5.
Outside zone 4 - £ travel costs by public transport.
- Where do you teach?
I can teach at my home but I prefer to come to you - especially for drama school auditions. Auditions can be nerve-wracking and as you are likely to be more comfortable at home we can usually work faster to get the best out of you!
I am based in Battersea so anywhere in South London is ideal. Also happy to travel anywhere in London or just outside - Surrey, Kent, Berkshire etc - but will charge for travel in this case, see above.
- When are you available?
Currently I am available daytimes and evenings, weekdays and weekends! Please contact me for specific availability as I may have other ad hoc commitments and jobs.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
Any age and ability, but my experience is currently best suited to 16-21.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
GCSE, A-Level, drama school / music college auditions. Also professional performance, vocational skills.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
If required I can tutor by Skype, but to be honest this is a poor substitute for in-person teaching.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Acting is incredibly subjective and every performer is different. I will let you know what you do well naturally, and then find areas in which you can improve, going at whatever pace you are comfortable with. If you are auditioning for drama school I can help to choose suitable audition speeches and give you advice on what to expect from the audition process. Then we will begin to work on your speeches, making them interesting and unique to you. We will make sure that if you are applying to drama school you show versatility, or if it is a one-off audition we work to your strengths. I am happy to do a one-off session of an hour or two on a speech, or work with you periodically through an audition season for drama school.
For English tuition, I can help with essay structure, analysing and critiquing classical as well as modern texts, or help you to understand literary concepts or aspects of English language that might be difficult for you at the moment. Basically, whatever you feel you need help with - I'm very flexible!
