SPANISH CLASES from a writer native spanish speaker
I truly think learning Spanish has to be enjoyable and challenging (positively) and my aim is to create a fun and positive learning environment in which you can really thrive, feel confident and tranquilo. I like to approach my students to grammar structures and cultural comprehension of the language by a variety of methods and sources such as images, videos, interviews, audios, etc. and adjust exercises of reading, listening and conversation to topics related to their particular interests and personal motivations.

Theatre and Live Performance Mentorship: Contemporary, Alternative and Classical.
What is a live performance mentor? A live performance mentor supports theatremakers and live performance artists in the realisation of their vision, assessing all aspects of your performance and guiding you to make original and intelligent decisions in your work. Why are live performance mentors useful? Having deeply researched a vast range of performance styles, techniques and training types, a live performance mentor is aware of current and historical trends and methodologies within the industry and can inspire your creativity and maintain accuracy and artistic integrity in your performances.

A/AS-Level Drama Support: Theatre History and Understanding Performance
Alongside my tutoring work, I am a professional playwright and theatre critic. I have studied theatre at the University of York, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and I am a member of the Soho Theatre Writers Group. My plays have been staged at the Edinburgh Fringe, York Theatre Royal and across Fringe venues in London. With my A/AS-Level Drama support classes, we will examine and explore the history behind a number of the key texts on the specifications for OCR, Pearson and EDUQAS: Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo Saved by Edward Bond In classes, we will look at the context in which these plays were written, the cultural impact they had and how to use this in essays to demonstrate your broader knowledge of the set texts. Aside from the plays themselves, it is important to understand the wider world of theatre. We will look at the plays of Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet and Theatre of the Absurd for Dario Fo. The history of Theatre censorship and the Royal Court Theatre is crucial to understanding Edward Bond's Saved. This class will give you the opportunity to explore these complex texts with a practising playwright, and the expanded knowledge of these plays will give you that edge when it comes to the exam.

Acting Technique, Theory, and Audition Preparation
There are many considerations for how one performs - from comprehensive theory and how it manifests to the physical connection between the body and mind. In our lessons we will take an individualised approach; some actors struggle with confidence, others with emotional connections, most with sincere relaxation. For the more cerebral actors, understanding the theory behind the motive helps internalise its necessity. Simplicity is a great form, but only when assumed knowingly. As for myself, I have 11 years' experience in the field - 7 professionally - spanning theatre, commercials, musical theatre, and dance. I've performed in numerous theatres across the UK (as well as Cyprus) and have been featured in a number of international commercials.

Presentations, graphs and infographics for corporate
This class is for people to learn how to use the most in-demand software and techniques in the corporate world and create effective presentations, graphs, charts, tables, and infographics while keeping design consistency and following brand guidelines. I have great tips and examples of clever and fun ways to tell facts and figures.
