Personal Message
I am a professional actress based in Buckinghamshire and I have experience in both acting and musical theatre.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
Acting is my main subject but I have also taught 'acting through song' for musical theatre, sight-reading and theatre history/practitioners. I can also guide on song rep for drama school and auditions with a huge library of sheet music and tracks. I currently coach children and young adults for LAMDA exams and drama school entry. As a former grammar school student myself, I am happy to coach children for the 11+ exam.
Tell me about your qualifications.
MA Musical Theatre with Merit - Guildford School of Acting (validated by University of Surrey)
BA (Hons) Acting 2:1 Bretton Hall (validated by the University of Leeds)

98% Grade 5 Music Theory, Distinction at Grade 8 Gold LAMDA Medal, 97% LCMM Musical Theatre Grade 7
What kind of experience do you have?
I have been teaching for 'Stagecoach' Amersham for 2 years as well as Gerrards Cross based, 'Vocal Performance Academy'. I also work as an after school drama club teacher for 'Flip Theatre Arts' in Watford. I have been coaching privately and through Stagecoach throughout this time with 100% success rate at LAMDA exams and many results with distinction. With 'Vocal Performance Academy', I have coached students taking Musical Theatre exams as well as auditions for school and amateur productions. I have also coached children that have gone onto attending Italia Conti, Millenium Dance, Performers College and various University drama courses.
How much do you charge?
£20 an hour for all lessons apart from 11+ which is £15 an hour. I can offer 30min or 45min sessions depending on level and I can do joint sessions where the fee is split for those taking combination and duo LAMDA exams. I teach from home but I am happy to travel to you for 40p per mile.

Where and with whom did you train?
I am a former student of Chesham High before going onto Bretton Hall and the Guildford School of Acting
Tell me about some of your current students.
LAMDA results just in for a range of grades 1-7 100% pass rate and all either High Merit or Distinction.
One of my LAMDA students has just gone to University to study Law, a subject she found that looks for people with an interest in drama over any other subject and so it helped her get into the course.
One student is currently at Performers College and another is about to go to Italia Conti.
Do you have a personal message for students?
I am happy to help with everything from the fear of being passed the book to read aloud from in class to coaching an important speech or drama piece. I can also advise on musical theatre audition songs with a huge library of musical songs.
