In this weekly 30 minute class learners will work on a different published speech each week (or focus on one they want to prepare) and be taught and coached to develop different key public speaking skills and their confidence in them.

Class experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
This class is taught in English.
Learners will develop their Public Speaking skills by looking at their use of pace, pitch, pauses, passion, and punch. They will also be able to prepare and polish speeches for any future competitions, festivals, or performances.
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, some 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
Learners have the option to work on each speech between classes to memorise it and work further to deliver/perform it better for feedback in their next class or via an uploaded video to the classroom.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
