As an actor myself, I know how scary auditions/Drama School auditions can be. With each school requesting different skills and monologues, it can be hard knowing what works well for you as a performer and what will show you off the most. As someone who has been through the process and was successfully offered places at East 15, Lamda and Alra, I would now love to be able to support others through the journey During my lessons, we will focus on your Classical and Contemporary monologues while exploring the best audition techniques for in person or self tapes. I can answer questions, help you find the right scripts for you and support you through the process.

Parts of speech are the fundamental building blocks of language that help us understand how words function in a sentence. There are eight main parts of speech: 1. Noun: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. For example, "cat," "London," and "happiness" are all nouns. 2. Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition. Examples include "he," "she," "it," and "they." 3. Verb: A verb is a word that expresses an action, state, or occurrence. It tells what the subject of the sentence does or is. Examples of verbs are "run," "eat," and "think." 4. Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It gives more information about the noun or pronoun. For instance, "blue," "tall," and "delicious" are adjectives. 5. Adverb: An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. Examples are "quickly," "very," and "often." 6. Preposition: A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in the sentence. It indicates location, time, direction, or other spatial relationships. Common prepositions include "in," "on," "under," and "after." 7. Conjunction: A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. Some common conjunctions are "and," "but," "or," and "because." 8. Interjection: An interjection is a word or phrase used to express strong feelings or emotions. It stands alone and is not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence. Examples include "wow," "ouch," and "bravo." Understanding the different parts of speech is essential for constructing grammatically correct and coherent sentences. By identifying the role of each word, we can communicate more effectively and clearly.

Creative writing can sound daunting, but we all have stories within us - whether novels, short fiction or simply pieces we write for ourselves. Whether you're an experienced writer or just beginning, we can work together to develop and improve your writing skills, covering everything from character and plot to dialogue, pace and structure. As an author of four novels (two published by Head of Zeus and two by Quercus) I have extensive experience of working with an agent, and editorial publishers, can offer valuable insights into the world of publishing. Writing is like a muscle; the more you use it, the better you become, and through a variety of writing exercises and different techniques, we can focus on helping you produce your best writing. I am also an experienced proofreader and editor and can help you improve existing works and ready them for submission.

Would you like to improve your Spanish, become more confident when speaking, or need some extra help with Spanish at school? I'm a native Spanish speaker from Spain, currently living and working in Brussels, with previous experience teaching both Spanish and English in Spain. I offer personalised Spanish classes for children, teenagers and adults, adapting each lesson to the student's age, level and objectives. For adults and older students, classes can focus on conversation and practical Spanish. We can work on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar through topics such as everyday life, travel, Spanish culture, current affairs or work. For children and teenagers, I can also provide Spanish school support, helping with homework, vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking and preparation for tests or exams. Lessons can follow what the student is currently learning at school, with additional explanations and practice whenever needed. I like to create a friendly and relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, speaking and making mistakes. I believe learning a language is much easier when lessons are engaging and adapted to the individual rather than following the same approach for everyone. Whether you want to improve your Spanish for school, work, travel or everyday conversation, the classes will be adapted to your needs. Classes can be held in person in Brussels or online.

I am a native Turkish speaker and bilingual language educator with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English Language Teaching, a Cambridge CELTA qualification, and more than seven years of language teaching experience.
