Experience: I am a professionally trained actor and fully qualified teacher. I trained on the Three Year Acting Course at the world-renowned drama school, LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). I went on to act professionally in both theatre and television before deciding to put all my talent and passion into teaching Drama. I gained a PGCE with Distinction from Manchester Metropolitan University, before going on to teach in Secondary Schools both in Manchester and internationally, in Mexico, where my lessons were consistently graded as Outstanding.
I am a very experienced LAMDA and Speech and Drama teacher, with my students gaining excellent results: 100% Distinctions and Merits. I have also been an examiner for A-level Drama and Theatre Studies and a moderator for GCSE Drama. I tutor students in the written elements and prepare them for the written exams.
I have successfully taught monologues and audition preparation for over 8 years, helping my students gain places at drama schools including: Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Guildford School of Acting, The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), Mountview Academy and Italia Conti Academy of Theatre.
I believe that nurturing talent and developing creativity, confidence, communication skills, independence, empathy and self-discipline in young people through Drama allows them to enjoy, develop and refine their skills and to thrive. I have been consistently praised for supporting, challenging and always bringing out the very best in all my students.
