      <image:title>Drama School</image:title>
      <image:caption>The competition for a place at drama school is colossally high. Thousands of students chase a very small number of places each year; the pressure can severely test both nerves and confidence. Given the added expense of the audition fee, applicants need to be as prepared as possible. With my affordable drama school coaching, I can help students navigate through this complex and lengthy process, so they arrive fully prepared and calm. My years teaching at specialist drama institution, ArtsEd Chiswick, make me an ideal choice to coach applicants to success. If you are looking for help in achieving a coveted place at a top London drama school, then I’m here to help. My 1-to-1 drama school audition preparation sessions cover a range of topics and help give you the tools to finesse audition speeches, build up confidence, and enter the audition room in peak form.

      <image:title>GCSE / A-Level</image:title>

I create a personalised programme of study to meet every individual's needs, so students can approach their exams with confidence. GCSE and A-Level Drama tuition provides inspiring guidance for students enthusiastic about this rewarding qualification. By building confidence, honing skills, and preparing for examinations, we work practically and theoretically, covering a range of scripts, original work, and exploring texts. I am especially familiar with the AQA GCSE and A-Level specifications. Please do not hesitate to get in touch today. 60 mins |  £65</image:caption>

      <image:title>LAMDA</image:title>
      <image:caption>LAMDA grades in Acting are a brilliant way of developing a child’s confidence as well as their acting skills. They are widely recognised as national qualifications and the latter grades can become particularly useful as the medal qualifications carry UCAS points. LAMDA tuition lessons are weekly and usually last for a term until the candidate is ready. I also offer a mock LAMDA examination coaching before the actual examination, with feedback given. I am registered with LAMDA’s Directory of Teachers. Build confidence and communication skills, develop a clear speaking voice, positive body language, and self-confidence with my 1-to-1 LAMDA coaching and tuition sessions. I prefer to travel to the pupil for these lessons. (SW London areas only). With my LAMDA tuition, I create a fun and nurturing environment to support the creative, intellectual, and social development of the individual student and their specific strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals. For further information about my 1-to-1 LAMDA tutoring fees and sessions in SW London, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 60 mins |  £60</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - Pupil Success</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am proud that a number of my former pupils have gone on to study at a range of vocational training institutions: RADA, Guildhall, Brit, London Contemporary and Laines. They are now successful professional actors, singers, dancers and stage managers in their own right. Some have gone on to perform lead roles on Broadway, in the West-End, at the RSC, at Regent's Park and in film and TV.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - Get the required exam grades with my help</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have been teaching drama for over 25 years at GCSE and A-Level with a proven track record of outstanding results. After seven years at the ArtsEd drama school in Chiswick, I spent a further 15 years at the highly ambitious and educationally driven Ibstock Place School in Roehampton. Until my recent retirement, I taught part-time for 4 years near Epsom, so my exam knowledge is current.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - My experience as an examiner helps me prepare students</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a GCSE examiner I gained a real insight into how modules are marked and how students should prepare. As a Subject Leader, I have been responsible for the internal assessment for GCSE and A-Level.  I am able to use my understanding of how work is assessed and how grade boundaries are applied to help students attain their best grade.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - Making the right impact at auditions</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have directed and produced countless musicals and plays, both small and large-scale; from the classical theatre of Euripides and Shakespeare, to contemporary masterpieces by Ayckbourn and Pinter.  I can help select and coach audition monologues</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - My real-world career in the professional theatre…</image:title>
      <image:caption>My teaching work is underpinned and informed by my professional career as an actor and stage manager. I graduated in 1986 with a BA (Hons) degree in Performing Arts.  Subsequent work included The Gingerbread Man, Annie, Iolanthe, The Yeomen of the Guard, The Gondoliers, Evita (Dir, Harold Prince) and The Rocky Horror Show. As a session singer, I worked in the recording studio and on BBC radio. I am also an ambassador for the John Thaw Foundation, a charity that sponsors disadvantaged and underprivileged young people through a variety of arts initiatives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Why Us? - Current DBS certification means safety is assured</image:title>

      <image:title>Drama Scholarship</image:title>
      <image:caption>Drama Scholarship awards vary from school to school, but those lucky enough to be the recipient of one can expect some very special treatment indeed. Usually, scholars are carefully mentored with a fast-tracked training, a programme of tailor-made events to enjoy, the status of ‘role-model’ and an expectation to offer hands-on support to staff during school productions and on other key occasions. Undoubtedly, a drama scholarship looks impressive on an educational CV. Few places are offered; success requires preparation and talent. I can help with comprehensive preparation for auditions.  Alongside help choosing and rehearsing audition speeches, I offer a mock audition - including an interview in front of a panel and feedback notes. I spent over 10 years leading my department’s scholarship auditions at Ibstock Place School and have been invited to be a scholarship panellist at Ewell Castle School for the past two years. My knowledge could make a real difference to a student’s chances of success. 60 mins |  £70</image:caption>
