As a 2.1 graduate in BA religious studies and philosophy, I have attained a plethora of knowledge for a variety of religions and philosophical theories.

I particularly specialise in tutoring religious studies and philosophy at GCSE level. My goal is to tailor my classes to the needs of the student and ensure they have gained the necessary skills ready for their exams. This includes helping students with any assignments and going through practice papers.

Each lesson will end with a summary of what has been learnt and the progress of the student will be monitored throughout. I put my students first and I want them to enjoy their learning.

Portrait Sketching is a skill which you need when who don’t have any idea on what to gift people on their birthday’s. Just kidding.
In this age of digital media, if you still want to learn physical sketching and painting, you have my heart. The worth of a hand drawn sketch or painting is still more.
This class would have basics to advanced techniques of sketching and painting and would require basic pencils, paint and your own brain in the beginning, then we can move to other tools required.
Don’t worry if you haven’t painted or sketched before, the worst that could happen is lot of pages being torn but some might turn out to be abstract which we can sell and then split the money, hahaha! that’s it, rest would be fun.

You will learn how to:
Develop a comprehensive understanding of the historical events and developments that have shaped our world.
Analyze historical information and data using various methods and techniques.
Draw connections between historical events and the present day.
Develop critical thinking skills through the analysis and interpretation of historical data.
Write compelling essays and papers on historical topics.

Tutoring in primary level English and maths from a qualified primary teacher.

I provide bespoke sessions that best meet the needs of the student. I can assess and identify areas that need practice and provide materials for sessions. Additionally, I provide support with homework.

Having taught in Year 6, I have experience with SATs preparation.

Happy to either provide tutoring in person or via webcam.

I am a tutor and lecturer at some of London's top drama schools including Mountview and Italia Conti. I work with you 1-1 to prepare you for foundation, BA, and MA drama school auditions. Together, we source and discuss audition material, work on audition technique and delivery, and prepare you for the interview and workshop portions of the auditions.

are currently auditioning or thinking of auditioning for Drama school/college? - then this is for you! I’m a Musical Theatre graduate of Mountview, a top drama school in the UK, and I’m very familiar with the audition process. We will talk through your audition material and I can provide singing aid, and acting tips.

At KS3 level, students will undergo crucial foundational learning that forms the basis for their understanding of more advanced mathematical concepts. I employ interactive and engaging teaching methods to ensure that students grasp fundamental mathematical principles with confidence and clarity.

For KS4 students, I focus on preparing them for their GCSE examinations with targeted instruction and rigorous practice. I'm well-versed in the requirements of various exam boards and adept at guiding students through the syllabus effectively, whether it be AQA, Edexcel, OCR, or any other board.

I'm a current University student studying physics. I achieved triple A* for my Maths, Physics and Further Maths A level and I have 2 years of tutoring experience. As I'm young I know about the recent changes to the curriculum and I did my A levels recently so I remember all the tips and tricks!

-Acting coaching, audition prep, drama school audition, and self-tapes.-

My method comes from my own professional experience working in London theatres. I believe heavily in preparation. Doing the work! Then letting go and being free on stage opening yourself to act spontaneously.

I direct and teach with the National Youth Theatre of GB and other theatre companies across London.

In my three years of coaching my students have gained places at RADA, LAMDA, Drama Studio London, East 15 and NYT. I can help with the interview stage and with selecting material.

Once we have that we will slowly dissect the piece and the world of the play to truly understand the character's wants/needs/obstacles/actions.

Also, I will....
- Give you confidence in your speech and in yourself for your upcoming auditions.

- Help you find your most natural performance.

- Explore and find exciting and different ways to perform the text. Settling on what works best for you.

- Also having FUN, because that's what acting is about right?!

P.s I work with actors who have dyslexia. I too am dyslexic. I can adjust my teaching to what suits you and how you learn. Just let me know! As well as any other learning difficulty's :)

Looking to get into drama school? Prepare for an audition? Or just want to improve your acting skills? I offer tailored acting classes to suit your needs. I previously trained as an actor myself and now I work as acting coach and a director with both children and adults. I have worked in drama schools and with students hoping to gain entry so I understand the process and what's required from an audition. I am also a specialist in screen acting training being the head of acting for the Young Film Academy, working with children aged 10-17, so if this is your desired focus then get in touch.

My approach is a mix of traditional Stanislavski as well as physio-physical actor training, I aim to work within the needs of the student and understand their personal methodology and style. I have a special interest in working with neurodiverse actors and finding unique ways of approaching training for a variety of needs.

My lessons are primarily for adults. You can be needing a coach for an audition or a full production, maybe you want to find that spark again by trying a different method, or you might want to try acting out, great! I can adjust to whatever you need. My lessons are at least an hour or more. I have a vocal/light physical warm-up that I like to do at the beginning of subsequent lessons. I remember one of my first teachers saying "An actor should be a blank canvas." And this made sense at first. So I went up on our small stage to do a monologue and it was terrible. My teacher said, "Kamil, you didn't really do anything." "Well, yeah? I am a blank canvas" As a neurodiverse person, I am overanalytical, literal, incredibly anxious and have difficulty speaking with full confidence.

However, my Master's level education from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has given me a toolkit where I can work towards placing my self-doubt and uncertainty behind 'The Work.' The Work is the hours you've spent in the text, the pencil markings in the script, the crinkled pages from taking it in and out of your backpack. It's the objective truth that you can rely on when your self-awareness doesn't want you to be the character, when you can feel an audience member looking at you, when the person behind the camera laughs at something you didn't inherently think was funny. It's your character's lifesaver.

For those that may require more structure when they receive text, I can help you deconstruct that overwhelming building into its key components. Whether it's from a play you've been newly cast in, a voiceover script you can't wrap your head around, or just a simple self-tape, we can work to break down text that lets BE that blank canvas on the day, but you know what paints you've used, what strokes you can utilise, you know the feel of the paintbrush from all the canvases you've practised on. Also, it's a good way to memorise lines. And that's just a nice bonus.

Looking to sharpen your skills, nail your auditions, or prepare for drama school? Join me for expert-led acting training designed to give you the confidence, technique, and clarity you need to succeed.
