Hi. Thank you for dropping by to look at my profile. To make it easier, I have separated this bio into different sections so that you will fully understand what I can bring to your life as a student.

My Biography.

I always wanted to be a film actor following a visit to the cinema in the 1970's to see the original Star Wars. This led to beginning my actor training at stage school in my teenage years and I then went to drama school in London. During this time my love of acting on stage grew and I have worked with many of the leading theatre companies in the UK and throughout Europe. As well as acting I began teaching at drama schools in London which took me to the internationally renowned drama school called the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London where I achieved an MA and an MFA in voice studies. The voice studies courses at Central are teaching courses which look at all ways of training actors with an especial focus on voice and speech. After graduation, I worked as a voice and text specialist in many theatre companies and schools including the Shakespeare Globe Theatre Company, the National Theatre and within film and television production. I also managed to fit in a PGCE in English and Drama along the way. In 2022 I was awarded the Honorary Fellowship of Victoria College for my work with the training of actors.

Speech and Drama/Actor training.

I am enormously experienced in this area and am currently Senior Examiner for one of the major Speech and Drama Examination Boards. I have the ability to work with all age groups from grades to teaching diplomas. I teach the examinations offered by LAMDA, LCM and VCM Exams. You do not need to be studying towards exams to work with me and many students come to me to build a particular area such as voice or speech. The work is fun at the same time as being Educational. I have been Head of Voice at Rose Bruford College and for 7 years Head of Voice at the Arden School of Theatre. I am currently studying towards a doctorate with focus upon acting, voice and text.

Drama GCSE/Drama and Theatre Studies AS/A Level.

Having been the Head of Performing Arts in a college and a drama teacher at secondary level I bring much experience to these subjects. I am confident that I would be able to help you in all areas of these syllabi. I can offer tuition in practical aspects of these qualifications, help with the exam papers and help with the texts being studied. 100% pass rate with students getting level 9's and places at university.

English Language GCSE/English Literature GCSE.

With 30 years experience, I have a whole range of techniques which I use to help students towards the grades they are aiming for. Do not panic if grade 4 was not attained in the exams. My lessons will teach you the magic that you need to get the marks you deserve. I can get you to like these subjects. I have 100% pass rate with many students getting level 9.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions which you would like me to answer. I'm always cheerful, professional and looking for student success. Their success is my success and I'm proud of this!

Regards.

Stuart.
