Whether you are starting out or are experienced and need help with your acting I will draw on Meisner and Stanislavski methos techniques to help you acheive your goals with your performance. I cover ALL aspects of working towards a career in Acting including: * Researching and preparing for drama shool auditions * Directing monologues * Researching and applying for an agent * Directing auditions * Preparing for a role / Interpreting text * Approaching Casting Directors * Self-tape training (most castings are initially done by this) * What to expect from the industry * Acting for stage * Acting for film (essential and very different from stage acting) * Understanding IMDB/Spotlight/Equity/Mandy etc I work with any ages/abilities. These lessons also have an option of working towards shooting a showreel scene if requested (£negotiable). Showreels are essential in progressing in the industry. You can see mine for an example on my Spotlight page. I am a full Equity member.

TESTIMONIALS: "As a DoP on the project I witnessed a professional attitude at all times with a deep respect towards his team and a clarity of style purpose and collaboration with my skills. He is very creative and displays a caring talent towards story telling. In my judgement of 40 years experience in the film biz Daniel is and will make a great writer director." - Ben Cole, DP ("Made In Dagenham") "Daniel and I were fortunate to know each other previously, having worked together on a full feature left-field European film (Alice Through the Looking). Coming together on Gandad there was, therefore, a mutual understanding of style and artistic integrity. Significant discussions and pre-production work also ensured clarity for me, as Gandad, what key objectives were. Daniel’s excellent and clear scripting ensured further clarity. This combination of pre-production skills was therefore instrumental on-set in determining accurate and timely scheduling. Further clarity with DOP added to a smooth and entirely professional approach to achieving timely objectives." - John Locke, Actor (The Darkest Hour).

My teaching experience is based on my friends. I have not been practising it outside my inner circle, but there is always a place to grow. I have an IB diploma certificate that can prove my efficiency level in the English language and a certificate from a Ukrainian school supporting my high level of knowledge in my native language.

Hi! My names Lisa and I am an English and Drama/Theatre Studies Tutor. My qualifications are up to a Masters Level with 14 years of experience in live Touring, West End and Regional Theatre and Events,
I have been tutoring English to British and Foreign students for over 8 years, working with all age ranges in ESL, exam preparation for 11+, 8+ and in depth text analysis. I tailor the lesson to suit the needs of the student using the AQA, OCR, WJEC and Scottish curriculum for GCSE, A levels, National 5's and Scottish Higher's as well as helping degree students with their essays, personal statement, college applications and dissertations. I take a friendly approach, asking students to engage in critical analysis and conversation to build essay structures, giving my students ownership and enjoyment in their learning. I also have first hand experience of working on Drama texts and Backstage elements, with extensive experience on working on major productions nationally and internationally.
I can teach English and Drama/Theatre Studies from early years to Masters level,
I have an enthusiasm and passion for teaching and a goal to build confidence in my students of any age.
I am fully DBS checked. I also do one off lessons, editing and work with students, who are only needing a few lessons for an assignment.

I trained for 3 years as an actor at Birmingham School of Speech & Drama ( now Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) and have worked in theatre, film and commercials. As an actor I've found out that the learning process that starts at drama school is something that never ends. There is something wonderful about that fact. Each new role opens up another little world of discovery!
Coaching drama school applicants is a particularly appealing thing. Having been one myself I'm so aware of how much there is to learn and how exciting it all is!
My approach is student-centred rather than method centred. There are many approaches to acting and there is definitely not one method that fits every actor.
Another thought is that I believe in teaching with positive reinforcement rather than criticism.
After the first lesson please pay the full amount in advance of any lesson you would like to arrange. If you had to cancel the lesson, if you were to do so four hours or more before the start I would refund the fee, but if were less than four hours beforehand I would not.
At the moment I solely teach online via Skype or Zoom.
If the internet connection prevented us from linking up for a lesson I would schedule another without further charge at a different and mutually agreed time.
