About Me

I am a professional actor, facilitator, and producer, as well as the Co-Artistic Director of CultureClash Theatre. My journey into the world of acting was anything but conventional!

I first pursued a career in law, earning my degree from Glasgow University School of Law and working as an immigration and human rights lawyer. However, my passion for storytelling and performance led me to take a leap of faith, training at Guildford School of Acting, where I completed my MA in Acting in 2015.

Since then, I have built a career that spans theatre, film, and television, performing across the UK and Sweden. My theatre credits include: Kayla in Home In Time For Christmas (Oxford Playhouse), Pinocchio & Sylvia Green in Greenwich Theatre’s Summer Repertory Season, Sharon Slaughter in Hell, Yes I’m Tough Enough (Park Theatre), and Modern Moll Frith in Moll & The Future Kings (Sam Wanamaker Playhouse). I’ve also performed in Southwark Playhouse, Arcola Theatre, New Diorama Theatre, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In film and television, I have portrayed Ngozi in Call The Midwife, Victoria in Steal Suffering, Eliza in Darren Has A Breakdown, and featured in E4’s Spa Brand Spot.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to bold storytelling. Whether through performance or my work with CultureClash Theatre, I am passionate about creating work that challenges perspectives and resonates deeply with audiences.

I love working with people who are eager to explore the power of theatre—whether you're stepping onto the stage for the first time or already have extensive experience. For me, great acting isn’t about perfection; it’s about curiosity, courage, and a willingness to play. I’m looking for students who are open to stepping into someone else’s shoes, discovering new ways to express themselves, and embracing the thrill of storytelling.

My approach is supportive yet challenging, pushing you to unlock your full potential while ensuring you feel safe, encouraged, and creatively inspired. If you’re ready to take risks, trust the process, and dive deep into the craft, I can’t wait to work with you!

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.

➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.

➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)

➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.

THE TRAINER
➤ With training from Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher trainer has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in Europe and North America, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the watchwords.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES
✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Basel-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.

I help professionals communicate clearly and confidently in meetings and stakeholder conversations in English.

If you need to lead discussions, explain decisions, or handle pushback — this is for you.

Many professionals can speak English, but struggle to:

Lead meetings confidently
Explain ideas clearly and concisely
Handle difficult conversations
Respond effectively to questions or challenges

That’s what we focus on.

With over 15 years of leading international programmes, I understand how communication works in real business environments — especially under pressure.

Sessions are practical and focused on real scenarios:

Leading and structuring meetings
Explaining complex ideas clearly
Handling questions, objections, and pushback
Speaking with clarity and confidence

This is not general English.
It’s focused coaching to help you communicate effectively in real work situations.

👉 You’ll leave each session with clear improvements you can apply immediately.
