Private Drama & Acting Tuition for Auditions and Additional Training

51 C$ /h

Whether you need help with your audition pieces for drama school, or you require an outside eye to prepare you for your Drama A Level, I can direct you to present the best version of yourself as a performer and the text you have at hand.

I will take a comprehensive approach to your performance. We will focus on the context of the text and its history. We'll research and explore your character whilst discovering your strengths as a performer. We'll discuss the choices you'll be making for your performance through Stanislavski, Laban Efforts and voice/accent work, or whatever we find works best for you. I will ensure that you'll go for your audition, confident in the knowledge that you've embodied the character and the text.

I'm an actor, director and theatre academic with an MA Acting from The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA). I've taught a range of subjects, including Stanislavski, Brecht and Animal Studies, as well as Applied Theatre History.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field. However, if you simply wish to explore your talent in fiction writing, I can provide insight into the industry and university level education of this subject.

Nothing can boost your grade quite like a well-written essay. It's a brilliant exercise in critical thought, analysis, and comprehension that can help you interpret the world and its media long after graduation. In my classes, I focus on how to most efficiently express yourself, using the following technique:

- Spending the majority of the process on the OUTLINE - knowing what you're going to say is the hard part, so let's knock that out first, the rest is easy!
- Use of vocabulary - advance your speech in order to convey exactly what you want to say.
- How to think critically - I will review with you what you should be looking for when you read, for maximum enjoyment as well as analysis.

I look forward to seeing you in the Zoom Room!

Approach to Teaching
– I favor a structured approach. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catering to the student's specific needs.
– Academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar-style format. I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary. I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing gaps, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.

Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45 minutes to an hour in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters to a student's requirements.

Academic Credentials
– I am a candidate for a Ph.D. in Music at the University of Cambridge.
– I hold an MPhil in Music from the University of Cambridge, where I specialized in Historical Musicology and Musical Aesthetics.
– I have a first-class music degree (74.4%) from the University of Manchester, where I won three Hargreaves Prizes for Academic Achievement.
– I have worked as an Assistant Music Teacher, which involved teaching Music A-Level students.

Professional Credentials
– I have worked as a private violin teacher for 7 years (since I was 17). I have taught a variety of students, from beginners starting their instrumental training to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
– I have extensive experience as an orchestral musician and chamber music performer. I led the University of Cambridge Experimental Music Ensemble (CUEME) when I was studying for my master's degree at the University of Cambridge. I also led the University of Manchester Chamber Orchestra in the second year of my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester and premiered a good deal of new music with The Eskandari String Quartet.
– I have performed at the West Road Concert Hall (University of Cambridge), the Lee Tseng Hall (Wolfson College Cambridge), the Buxton International Festival, the Manchester International Festival, and Bridgewater Hall.
– I achieved a distinction (92%) in my ATCL Diploma in violin performance, and a First (78%) in the final violin recital of my undergraduate degree.

Expected Ability of Students
– Academic level: Beginner through to GCSE, A-Level, and Undergraduate Music and History of Philosophy

I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

Unlock the past with engaging History lessons tailored to your needs. Whether you’re studying GCSEs, A-levels, or preparing for university-level history courses, I can help you understand key events, historical analysis, and essay techniques that will set you up for success.

With my background in Economic History at the London School of Economics (LSE), I have the expertise to guide you through complex historical topics, from ancient civilisations to modern-day events.

In these lessons, we will focus on:
• Building your understanding of historical periods, themes, and events.
• Developing critical thinking skills to analyze sources and debates.
• Improving your essay-writing and exam techniques, so you can write clear, structured, and compelling answers.
• Providing in-depth support for specific topics such as World History, European History, Social History, Economic History, and more

Whether you need help with exam prep or deeper insights into history’s pivotal moments, I will work with you to ensure you master the content and excel in your exams!

This isn’t about perfect essays or stiff story structures. Unlock Your Voice is a one-on-one creative writing space built to help people write like they actually feel something. Each session is personal, messy, and different, because every writer is.

We do a mix of everything: character sketches, short scripts, journal letters, even college essays, and whatever else helps you get the words out. Some days it’s about writing freely without overthinking. Other days it’s about pulling apart what you’ve written and finding the heartbeat inside it. There’s no pressure, no grades, just a lot of creative honesty and a few good laughs along the way.

This class is about more than writing well. It’s about finding your rhythm, trusting your thoughts, and learning how to express what you actually mean. By the end, you’ll have a small collection of original work that sounds like you and definitely not like ChatGPT.

Even ChatGPT does not write as well, or as uniquely, as a well-trained human. And if you are a journalist or a novelist, the use of AI tools is also not allowed. In this class, you can learn the art of truly great writing from someone who has been a professional content creator for thirty years. You will learn about how to structure the perfect piece of writing, from a news story or feature (print or broadcasting scripts), any form of marketing material and even a 100,000 novel.
I can also unlock your hidden talent, as not everything can be taught—instead, it needs nurturing. Using techniques I have been given and those I have developed myself, you too can be the writer you always thought you could.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This isn’t about perfect essays or stiff story structures. Unlock Your Voice is a one-on-one creative writing space built to help people write like they actually feel something. Each session is personal, messy, and different, because every writer is.

We do a mix of everything: character sketches, short scripts, journal letters, even college essays, and whatever else helps you get the words out. Some days it’s about writing freely without overthinking. Other days it’s about pulling apart what you’ve written and finding the heartbeat inside it. There’s no pressure, no grades, just a lot of creative honesty and a few good laughs along the way.

This class is about more than writing well. It’s about finding your rhythm, trusting your thoughts, and learning how to express what you actually mean. By the end, you’ll have a small collection of original work that sounds like you and definitely not like ChatGPT.

Even ChatGPT does not write as well, or as uniquely, as a well-trained human. And if you are a journalist or a novelist, the use of AI tools is also not allowed. In this class, you can learn the art of truly great writing from someone who has been a professional content creator for thirty years. You will learn about how to structure the perfect piece of writing, from a news story or feature (print or broadcasting scripts), any form of marketing material and even a 100,000 novel.
I can also unlock your hidden talent, as not everything can be taught—instead, it needs nurturing. Using techniques I have been given and those I have developed myself, you too can be the writer you always thought you could.
