If you have a passion for acting and want to go to drama school to hone your skills, then you first need to know what drama schools are looking for in prospective students. As someone who has gone to LAMDA, one of the top drama schools in the country, I have had a lot of experience in auditioning for drama school, and can draw upon my own successes (and failures!) to help you give the best audition possible. From selecting plays tailored to make you shine, to monologue and script work, as well as self-tape technique - I will cover it all.

Every language is logic and as babies, the mechanism is to repeat sentences to understand them and memorize them .

Ananda helped my son and older daughter to prepare their IGCSE Edexcel and AQA GCSE Spanish exam in little time with professionalism and enthusiasm. They got the best grade, 9, A* in their final exams and we are really glad! They are studying at top schools and were really motivated to learn Spanish.
Ananda charges affordable rates and the results are amazing!

If you are looking for a Spanish tutor, we highly recommend Ananda. Under her guidance, my daughter got an A* in Spanish AQA A-Level. She has an unwavering commitment to her students. She went above and beyond, providing additional resources, practice materials, and personalised feedback outside of their scheduled sessions. My daughter enjoyed her lessons with Ananda and we are delighted to have found a superb tutor.

Testimonial 5
After my first year at Durham university receiving a 2:1 I wanted to improve my Spanish for second year and found Ananda.I cannot recommend her services enough! She personalised the lessons to my specific needs, particularly focusing on oral practice which I found the most challenging (scoring 66% in my first year). She not only improved my level of Spanish, but also increased my confidence with the language. Thanks to all her help and expertise I got a 1st in Spanish, scoring 74% in the oral exam and 75% in the written paper!

Ananda has tutored my son Myles for the past 2 years ahead of his IGCSE EDexcel exam in June 2023. Spanish was by far his weakest subject as school and he was struggling with motivation. He has a diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Ananda has consistently encouraged Myles, working alongside him at his pace and has given him a very thorough understanding of the language which he is now able to use with confidence. Her support has been invaluable, she has consistently been available for all the lessons and very flexible with any impromptu rescheduling. She has offered additional lessons in preparation ahead of specific exams such as the aural or listening papers. Today Myles has received a high Grade 8 in his exam, missing out on a 9 by only 1 mark. This seemed absolutely inconceivable at this point last year. Huge big thank you to Ananda - I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Name: Rachel, London

Ananda helped me to prepare for an interview for a job in Buenos Aires, after I had not spoken Spanish for about three years. She was helpful, thorough and really careful to tailor the session to my individual needs and to the job. We prepared for all kinds of questions they might ask and all areas I might need to be capable of discussing. I felt confident going into the interview and I got the job! She is a fantastic Spanish tutor and definitely could not have done it without her. Thanks!!

REFERENCE LETTER 1
Dear sir/madam,
Ananda has taught two of my daughters and is an outstanding teacher. She helped my eldest daughter achieve an A* in her Edexcel GCSE Spanish and hopefully will do the same with my middle daughter.
She has a lovely approach - very friendly, is easy to relate to and is thorough in her teaching. My middle daughter has already sat her IGCSE Spanish oral exam and said she felt very prepared by Ananda.
I have asked Ananda to tutor me to A level and also my youngest daughter in a year.
Without doubt I would recommend Ananda to any one wanting to get good results and having fun in the process.

Kind regards,
Sarah

REFERENCE LETTER 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
Ananda has been tutoring my 15 year old in AQUA GCSE Spanish and got the highest grade A* (9). My daughter is very proud and all the family really glad and grateful to Ananda. She is professional, flexible, creative and very pleasant. My daughter was looking forward to her lessons every week. Ananda has taken the time to find out my daughter’s interests and helped Annie to learn real Spanish language.. She has also taken time to talk to me as the parent to find out my goals for my daughter. I would recommend Ananda as a Spanish tutor to everyone!

Kind regards
Maria

REFERENCE LETTER 3
Dear sir/madam,
Ananda taught my daughter Spanish for her A-levels. My daughter started her A-levels with grade D and finished it with grade A*. I think this says it all about Ananda's ability as a teacher to support her students and push them to achieve their potential.
Ananda is a very dedicated Spanish teacher to her students, explaining things in great depth and in a simple way which is easy to understand. She provides very useful resources and creates exercises which will help you improve your fluency. As well as being a great teacher, she will also endlessly support you through your journey, being a constant positive guide. Ananda is a great Spanish teacher. She is very dedicated and works so hard for her students. She helped my daughter to improve her Spanish enormously to the extent that her school teacher was referencing her as an exemplar student. Ananda also helped to boost my daughter’s confidence and self-belief. I highly recommend Ananda and we will definitely miss her.

Best wishes,
May

REFERENCE LETTER 4
To whom it may concern,
Ananda is a fantastic Spanish teacher. She meticulously prepares all the lessons, is very communicative, and the students have fun and joy in the lessons. Our students passed the Edexcel, AQA A-level with the best grades, A*, (8-9). Thanks again for your dedication.
I'm delighted that you will continue teaching in the future.

Best wishes,
Patrick,

REFERENCE LETTER 5
To whom it may concern,
We have worked with Ananda on a couple of occasions for 2 years and found her service to be very efficient. She understands the exam board requirements and works with our students to help them achieve the best results at both IGCSE and A Level. We all thank her very much for her help as she was ready and willing to step in at the last minute to assist with our final exam preparation.

Best wishes

I specialize in coaching adult learners in spoken and written English.

I hold a level 3 Adult Teaching Certificate and as a graduate of the full-time acting course at LAMDA, the use of English and the ability to communicate and understand has always been at the heart of my professional career as an actor for 25 years but also my business career for over 20 years.

I have always been passionate about the need of most individuals to optimize their
employability by their use of language in written and spoken communications. Once they have acquired.fluency of these key areas, they will develop the self-confidence that will get them past their first interview for a job and behavioural flexibility to secure and retain the job if they want it.

For many years, I have taught Voice to professional adults including politicians, marketing and sales executives and designers. This was derived from what I learned at LAMDA where I was taught by some of the best voice teachers in the world.

My class was designed to learn how to be more effective in spoken and written communication in English. How to engage, how to listen, how to understand, how to be dynamic etc... Each class is one hour. Many have told me that what they learned from this class has helped them to develop and grow their self-confidence
especially when applying for jobs.

I have enormous experience in communicating with people at all levels and from different
backgrounds. I strongly believe that communication is the key to employability.

I also have considerable experience of organizing and formatting processes which are
aligned to assessing and training requirements. For over twenty-five years, I have
assessed Parliamentary Candidates for a major political party and for the past twelve
years, I have been organizing and Facilitating them both face-to-face and since the
pandemic online as VADs or Virtual Assessment Days.

The biggest barrier facing any adult learner who is also in employment is trying to balance the conflicting demands of employment with the competing demands of a formal course which has its own timetable. Whether the employment is full-time or part-time, there are always just so many hours in the day. So rest assured, I can be completely flexible to suit your timetable.
