Do you have a personal message for students?
Since Drama mirrors life and the human condition it is readily accessible by young people , however this may not translate in an exam! I would like anyone who is interested in the subject to furfill their potential and obtain the acedemic grade they are capable of. I base my tutoring on three main principals. 1. INDIVIDUALISED PROVISION I would like to improve your weakness, weather this is essay structure, written expression or understanding a character role function. 2. ENERGY AND PACE I am an energised and motivating however I believe that through explanation of key principals is key to a student furthering thier potential. 3. TUTORS ARE FACILITATORS I believe that a good teacher can be really helpful , however I encourage my students to take ownership of thier work and form their own opinions; to have the courage to express their ideas articulately!
