Education Background: Studied at Scarborough College Independent School before graduating with a BA (Honours) in Music and French from Birmingham University. Continued studies at Val De Marne University in Paris and earned a Master's degree in Voice from the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, achieving Distinction. I am in ongoing part-time study in Transactional Analysis.

Teaching Experience: With a rich background in academia and professional practice, I bring over 15 years of tutoring experience and 7+ years as a Lecturer in Higher Education. My journey includes serving as a subject specialist in one of the UK's top drama schools. I've also flourished professionally as an actor and voice, speech, and text coach - I know how to bring creativity and flair to any lesson and enjoy developing tutees' communication skills, confidence, and ability to have presence throughout their learning journey with me.

Teaching Specialisations: As an experienced tutor, I specialise in English language, literature, drama, Shakespeare, poetry, interview skills, confidence in communication, debate, storytelling and vocabulary and verbal reasoning.

Teaching Style: Approachable and engaging, I prioritise creating a dynamic learning environment where students thrive. Through lively discussions, interactive activities, and bucket loads of kindness and challenge, my lessons are fun, warm and productive.

Student Engagement: I pride myself on connecting with students on a personal level, tapping into their interests and curiosity to maximise their engagement with the work. By encouraging discussion, debate, and nurturing verbal and written fluency, I empower students to excel academically and beyond. With a friendly and humorous approach, I ensure our lessons are both enjoyable and enriching, with a focus on continuous improvement and achievement.
