About Me

I am a professional actor, facilitator, and producer, as well as the Co-Artistic Director of CultureClash Theatre. My journey into the world of acting was anything but conventional!

I first pursued a career in law, earning my degree from Glasgow University School of Law and working as an immigration and human rights lawyer. However, my passion for storytelling and performance led me to take a leap of faith, training at Guildford School of Acting, where I completed my MA in Acting in 2015.

Since then, I have built a career that spans theatre, film, and television, performing across the UK and Sweden. My theatre credits include: Kayla in Home In Time For Christmas (Oxford Playhouse), Pinocchio & Sylvia Green in Greenwich Theatre’s Summer Repertory Season, Sharon Slaughter in Hell, Yes I’m Tough Enough (Park Theatre), and Modern Moll Frith in Moll & The Future Kings (Sam Wanamaker Playhouse). I’ve also performed in Southwark Playhouse, Arcola Theatre, New Diorama Theatre, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In film and television, I have portrayed Ngozi in Call The Midwife, Victoria in Steal Suffering, Eliza in Darren Has A Breakdown, and featured in E4’s Spa Brand Spot.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to bold storytelling. Whether through performance or my work with CultureClash Theatre, I am passionate about creating work that challenges perspectives and resonates deeply with audiences.

I love working with people who are eager to explore the power of theatre—whether you're stepping onto the stage for the first time or already have extensive experience. For me, great acting isn’t about perfection; it’s about curiosity, courage, and a willingness to play. I’m looking for students who are open to stepping into someone else’s shoes, discovering new ways to express themselves, and embracing the thrill of storytelling.

My approach is supportive yet challenging, pushing you to unlock your full potential while ensuring you feel safe, encouraged, and creatively inspired. If you’re ready to take risks, trust the process, and dive deep into the craft, I can’t wait to work with you!

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.

The Italian course includes an initial introductory meeting to assess the student's level, which will determine the most appropriate learning approach.
It will be possible to choose what to work on based on the objectives agreed upon during the first meeting, considering the possibility of developing written, oral and written production skills, but above all listening skills.
To ensure solid and structured progress, the reinforcement of practical skills is alternated with the study of grammar. The volume and intensity of the grammar modules are adjusted according to the learner's needs, thus ensuring an optimal balance between linguistic theory and practical application.
