To ensure effective tutoring, the teacher suggests meeting 2x per week. Book additional recurring meetings after the initial purchase.

Learners will develop their Public Speaking skills and confidence in them by looking at their use of pace, pitch, pauses, passion, questions, longer and shorter, and punch. If they have a specific Public Speaking concern this can be addressed week after week too.

I am a fully qualified teacher (BAPA, PGCE) with 16+ years of experience teaching Drama (and Performing Arts, English, Music, and PSHCE (Personal Social Health Education) in bricks and mortar schools, where I currently still teach part-time, including running small group and 1:1 confidence-building workshops. I also have many years of experience leading community workshop schemes (like create a play in a week) and local drama groups for ages 4 to 16. 

As a professional actress, I've performed to children from ages 2-14 in theatres, arts centres, social clubs, historical properties,  nurseries, and schools. Playing roles such as the Gingerbread man and a tortoise, to a wartime headmistress and Queen Elizabeth the first! With lots of Q & A and interactive workshops along the way.

I then branched into presenting (live, events, radio, TV, and for holiday companies across Europe) including some Voiceover work. I currently create and present drama and presenter tuition videos and have a regular podcast.

I have produced and directed many productions (musicals and plays) as well, including some I have written myself.

I am very experienced in coaching learners to produce their best performance, and I love seeing them develop in front of my eyes. Many of my ex-students have gone on to study at prestigious London stage schools in acting and directing, even though we are over 200 miles away, and they only take a small number from out of the catchment area each year. Previous learners have achieved several A+ grades in a speech and drama festival, top grades in a session of 20, and a Bronze overall against native speakers, second round of a national competition. I have also coached learners on all different levels, like one who didn't wish to speak when I started working with him (aged 10) but he ended up playing the lead role in his final year production (aged 15).

Homework Offered
For homework learners may need to finish off a speech between class 1 and 2 each week, memorise it and work further on how to deliver/perform it better.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Mrs. T will give lots of on-the-spot in-class feedback and will often follow up with after-class feedback in the classroom.
Grades Offered

I highly recommend learners purchase their own copy of the book we are using so they can carry on rehearsing after class and find more to work on... but I can also provide copies of speeches if needs be:
