I have taught all keystages from 11-18 and have also taught LAMDA Speech and Drama (ages 7-18). I have regularly tutored GCSE and A level pupils on a one-to-one basis, successfully overcoming the "fears of the written paper". Out of school I have directed many productions and regularly run workshops for youth groups.
I have also successfully helped students prepare for university interviews, audition preparation for drama school and preparation for A level monologues and duologues for practical examinations.

- Tell me about your qualifications.
I studied Drama at the University of Reading and after graduating in 1991 I worked at the BBC Radio Drama Rep co, before starting teaching in 1995. I am passionate about the subject and actually started the Drama Dept at my second school in 1998 where I built up the dept from 4 pupils in a terrapin hut to persuading the school governors to build a Performing Arts Centre in 2005! There are now over 60 pupils studying drama at GCSE and A level. It is one of the most popular and successful departments in the school. As a former student who is now studying drama at the Central School of Speech and Drama quoted "Her rigorous and demanding standards raised my own expectations of myself. She was unfailingly supportive, caring, motivational, informative, interesting and above all inspirational. Her teaching transformed my love of drama into a passion".
Indeed the drama dept was at the forefront of the school being awarded "Artsmark" Silver in 2009. I have won 40 trophies for directing festival drama, including being one of six schools in the UK to be selected to perform a devised play for Tomorrow's World at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in 2003.. Our AS level drama group won the semi-final of the All England Drama Festival at Leigh on Sea in 2009 and was subsequently selected to perform at the British All Winners' Final in Woking in July 2009, where we were awarded the Buxton trophy for the "Most Promising Performance by a youth group.". In 2013 our AS group won The Youth Award at the British All Winners final in Teignmouth.

Jane has been a big part and major help to my acting career as one of my first teachers. She’s always encouraged me to keep trying and improving and that my talent was worth sharing. She is an amazing teacher and anyone who knows of her talents is a very lucky person.
I worked with Jane in a secondary school’s Drama Dept for 5 years and she is an excellent teacher and practitioner. Well organised, creative and passionate about her subject, Jane upholds very good relationships with her students and frequently helps them to gain excellent marks in public examinations and moderations. I would highly recommend Jane as a trustworthy tutor.
Jane is an absolute fantastic teacher who really encourages you to explore your skills and push yourself. She is calm, patient, and most importantly kind.
She is an excellent tutor with years of experience, skill, and knowledge which she readily shares, allowing students to get top marks in exams!
I couldn’t have done my A-level theatre studies without her.I am a teacher who has known Jane for 30 years and have seen myself what a huge impact her passion for drama can have on students. She has fantastic experience of both teaching drama and acting, which has made a huge impact on the personal success of many students. Our eldest son loved practical drama but found the GCSE writing component difficult until Jane was able to break down the tasks and really engage him in the work. In a short time Jane turned a somewhat reluctant writer into an A grade student, which had a very positive impact on other subject areas, particularly English. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Jane as a tutor who can make a big difference.
I was taught by Jane at school and know she is lovely, knowledgable, and clearly very passionate about Drama. Under her guidance, I was able to advance with a group through country-wide drama competitions. I learnt a lot of valuable lessons from Jane and would recommend her as a tutor to anyone!
Jane taught me for A Level drama at school and she was one of my favourite teachers! She is so understanding and thorough when explaining things. She teaches in such a calm but rememberable way that it is so easy to learn things and actually remember and understand them. I really struggled with my theory when it came to drama and I managed to achieve an A in A level- all thanks to Jane!
Jane has years of experience teaching students LAMDA and Trinity exams, as well as coaching students for drama school auditions. Jane is such a lovely person, who is encouraging and goes that extra mile to help.
Jane was my Drama teacher for 3 years and was absolutely incredible, extremely knowledgable and a really outstanding teacher. She helped me gain entrance to a programme on a theatre program and without a doubt I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.
Passionate about getting the very best results. Supportive, warm, fun with years of experience and proven results.
Mrs Harris taught me for three years and I gained confidence with performing and in my essay writing skills. In my GCSE I was able to achieve a higher grade than I thought I could. I had not written drama essays before Mrs Harris' lessons but now I am very confident. It also helped my English essays which I was struggling with. Mrs Harris' passion for drama inspired me to carry it on for A Level.
If it wasn't for mrs harris' help and guidance particularly through the writing part of my drama GCSE, there is absolutely no way that I would have gained the grade that I did. She broke it down into chunks that made it alot easier to understand what the question was asking, and what the examiner wanted to see in the answer when marking it. It was really astounding to see how the grades of my practice essays went up over the period that we were preparing for the exam.
Jane Harris is perfect.She is completely lovely and makes one feel confident and relaxed during lessons. She has an excellent knowledge and understanding of drama and related topics. She is completely supportive and enthusiastic as a teacher. When it comes to coursework she will encourage, battle and support you through it, in a very methodical way ensuring she gets the best possible work out of you. It's been a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to everyone who is studying drama!
Every drama lesson was extremely enjoyable; whether it was practical or written. Mrs Harris' teaching allowed me to understand the plays I was studying in great depth and she taught me to use this knowledge to write the best essays that I possibly could. In my opinion she is a fantastic teacher and without her help I would not have achieved the A grade that I did for my A level Theatre Studies
Jane has the ability to get the best out of you. My written skills have improved, and my confidence has too. When marking work, Jane's feedback is very detailed and she offers some great ideas to expand on. I can always approach her with any queries or problems and she goes the extra mile to give as much help as possible. Jane's friendly and enthusiastic attitude is very motivating. I am so pleased that I am on my way to improving my grade and, hopefully getting into university.

Jane taught me Drama from GCSE to A-Level. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She is vivacious and passionate about alll aspects of Drama. I achieved A grades throughout, due to insightful teaching methods. She has a belief that everyone can succeed in Drama and makes it her mission to find this skill in all the students she works with..I could never have obtained an A at A level theatre studies if it wasn't for Mrs Harris. She put in so much time and effort to help me. She is truly dedicated to all her students and will go the extra mile.She inspired us all to excel and the high grades the group obtained are a reflection of her enthusiasm. She prompted me to draw from my own ideas and she helped me communicate these in a written essay. I thoroughly recommend her to any student who is struggling with the written aspect of their course.
Jane Harris was my Drama teacher throughout my senior school years at the Marist Senior School. Jane is passionate about drama, and she dedicates herself to the success of her students, combining both her academic and practical knowledge of the subject. Her teaching is excellent and she is a wonderful person to get to know. The benefits of her tutorials will reach far beyond the realms of the dramatic arts. Jane will be a fantastic tutor for anyone studying drama.
Mrs. Harris is a truly inspirational teacher, who is passionate about the practical elements of theatre and extremely dedicated to every one of her students. Although at first, I did not realise my passion for Drama, Mrs. Harris inspired me to study it for A Level, and it is a choice I do not regret and as a result I am now going to study Drama at University. She teaches both the practical and theoretical aspects of Drama in such a precise and scintillating manner, that it is impossible not to be inspired.
Jane Harris is a truly amazing and dedicated drama teacher. Her knowledge of practitioners and the theory of drama is vast and inspiring. Through years of practical experience she has become a fountain of wisdom on the subject of theatre. Studying with her enables anyone to learn and develop as a patron on theatre. They will gain knowledge of drama as a whole and her expertise will benefit anyone.
