Teaching style & philosophy:

As an actor, playwright and theatre maker, my teaching philosophy comes from a place of creativity and joy. I always try to allow the student to reach a flow-state in their learning and in their work, where through fun and intrigue, they're able to reach their full potential. As someone who was in school, and home educated privately, I know what types of lessons I found engaging and which ones I did not. This has given me the experience to create atmospheres where students can thrive. The best way to learn, in my opinion, is through finding the part of the subject that gives you that spark. This is exactly what I try to do with my students, in whatever subject I teach.

Additional information:

As well as tutoring, I am a professional writer, published playwright, actor and theatre maker. I also regularly attend drama schools and major institutions to give improv and acting classes. These include: Lamda, Italia Conti, UEA, Alexandra Palace, English Theatre of Hamburg, the Blackbox Studio of Slovenia and Southbank University. I currently live in Hackney, London, but also have a base in Hertfordshire, St Albans.
