Experience

- What kind of experience do you have?

I started teaching at the age of nineteen, when I did a CELTA qualification before going to UCL to study English Language and Literature. I then taught all levels and class sizes from one-to-one to twelve at a variety of colleges in central London including St Giles, Oxford house and Prince's college. I taught during university holidays, evenings and weekends.
Soon after starting to teach, I began to take one-to-one classes by personal recommendation. Over the last eight or so years, I have taught one to one for people from a variety of industries, in a wide variety of subjects, based in EFL. I have taught Advanced and Proficiency exams, IELTS and accent reduction. I have also taught some GCSE English Literature and Language.
During my time at the Guildhall school, I was lucky enough to study with some of the best voice teachers in the country, including past and present heads of voice at the National theatre. It was here that I really honed my skills in speech and accent teaching, and I have been applying these skills over the last couple of years while teaching at Linguarama, a language training centre in the city. Here I have taught everything from pure English grammar, to elements of cultural awareness and presentation skills. I have taught clients from KPMG, PwC, HSBC, BCG and many other large international companies.
I have also used the knowledge gained during my time at drama school to help a number of people obtain places at drama schools, including one at RADA, as well as going back to my old secondary school on several occasions to teach devising and improvisation.
