Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(141)
Learners will spend 2 weeks working intensively on their public speaking to build their skills and confidence and prepare a poem, piece of prose, published speech, or class presentation to a higher presenting level.

Class experience

Students will prepare a piece ready for presenting in a competition, assessment, class presentation, or personal development setting, developing their use of verbal and non-verbal techniques and building their public speaking confidence.
I am a fully qualified teacher (BAPA, PGCE) with 18 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.

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. I have 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), and I recently attended his final year drama degree performance.
Homework Offered
After the first class learners will be asked to learn their piece from memory. Learners that learn their piece well will find it easier to add in non-verbal techniques and reach a higher level of presentation.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Mrs. T will give constant constructive feedback and can give grade predictions if learners have been given specific assessment guidelines.
Grades Offered
Unless learners have something specific they want to work on (which should be sent to Mrs. T prior to our first class please), they can choose from several pieces in the public forum in their chosen format, which will be shared via screen share during our class, and after class in PDF printable format.
