My European Classical Acting Masters degree has equipped me with some of the tools that I use to coach people.

MA -English Language and Literature,
​Oxford University, Pembroke College
​
This degree has helped me to fine-tune my writing skills. The degree has also helped my coaching / directing since it involves related skills such as interpreting scripts, teaching Shakespeare, understanding verse, etc.
​
At Oxford I studied English literature throughout all the ages -starting with Anglo-Saxon and ending with modern English. Consequently, I am familiar with the English language throughout the ages which is helpful when translating, and analysing, older scripts and helping actors understand classical monologues, etc.
MA -Television Journalism, City University, London
​

Widely regarded as the best Television Journalism course in the UK, this course has helped me in a variety of ways.

The course taught me filming and editing techniques -this has improved my ability to film actors and edit their showreels.

The course has also helped me to provide better coaching for Presenters / Reporters / News Anchors, etc since I have training and experience in these roles.

were examined in Media law, wrote weekly shooting scripts,
Filmed, presented and edited weekly news packages,
created weekly studio local news shows.

learnt about most aspects of journalism (online journalism, ethical issues, etc)
and far more.

I work with both men and women

-however the fact I am female is relevant to many ladies e.g. some Muslim ladies who prefer a female coach.
