Acting is all about embodying a different character. Be that someone you relate to or a person that is the antithesis of yourself, being able to portray that difference is the core of performance. I believe in the importance of utilising the strengths a person has as an individual to further propel their acting. In this class, I will give you persoanlised feedback and performance direction for whatever role you're playing. This can be used for self tape help, monologue/duologue work, theory, etc. The end result will be a stronger performance that you are able to feel more fluid in performing.

Acting and performance skills can help you in many walks of life. It's about building confidence and getting comfortable within your own voice and body, as well as understanding text and character. Using my background in English Literature and New Writing, and my Masters in Drama Directing from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School; I will tailor classes to each students particular needs and goals. Working closely with students on textual clarity, vocal technique, characterisation and confidence is my speciality. You might need some 1-2-1 assistance with a monologue or understanding a playtext better, you might want some help with audition prep or advice on self-tapes, or you might just want to build your confidence and strength in public speaking. Acting Lessons with me will help! I draw from a range of theatre practitioners such as Barbara Houseman, Katie Mitchell, Stanislavski and Misner, and enjoy employing vocal techniques to help gain clarity with text.

In this class, you'll learn how to: -Structure stories and paragraphs with appropriate beats and pacing. -Build complex, fully realized characters. -Write engaging, realistic dialogue in novel or screenwriting format. -Hook readers to the page using pacing techniques and red herrings.

As a self-taught editor, I always wished for some guidance when it came to figuring out how to go about making an edit, finding sponsors, following trends and networking. What kind of content are we making? What is the client brand? How do we ensure the viewer stays entertained throughout the video? What are the sponsors wishes and how do we meet them? After 3 years of trial and error, I managed to figure out many effective and easy ways to deliver the best content. When trying to grow your portfolio, and develop as a film/videographer it's important to have an ever growing network of fellow editors! Send me a message if you are looking to work on anything editing, videography, socials or content related!

I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad. I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths. Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs. I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student. I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!
