Information About Anna

Personal Description: I am a professional actor and writer. I was trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama and I have 15 years experience in the industry.
As an actor I have toured nationally, I have worked in regional rep theatre, most notably at the Royal Exchange in Manchester and in film I have worked with Mike Leigh. As a writer I have co-written a sitcom which has gained interest from Granada Television and my last play received considerable interest and recognition from the National Theatre and the Royal Court, both of whom are keen to read my new play which I am currently in the process of writing.
I am highly motivated and driven, I am an excellent communicator and I have a skill for motivating others.

Teaching Experience: I have extensive experience as a drama workshop facilitator/leader, both in Manchester and London, working with children whose ages have ranged from 5 - 18 years. This has been primarily group work, focusing on allowing each child to express their own voice and creativity. The work has revolved around devising techniques, improvisation, working with text, audition techniques and physical theatre.

Teaching Approach: If an experience is fun and engaging then it will stay with you. That is my main approach to teaching. While I am extremely professional, I have a very warm and friendly approach and I like to bring humour into the work. I find this creates a relaxed atmosphere which is the ideal condition for learning. I recognise each individual has their own strengths and weaknesses and I like to highlight their strengths and work together to build on the weaknesses. I like to instill confidence in the pupil and I see my role as teacher is not simply to instruct but to guide, therefore allowing the pupil's own creativity to flourish.

From Malin (5/5): Anna is a great tutor. She has taught me once a week for a couple of months now and the lessons have really helped my language and general attitude to speaking. Anna is very knowledgeable and tailors her teaching to what I would like to learn. Her teaching style is approachable, efficient and she will put any apprehensive student at ease.

From Carl (5/5): Was only the first lesson but am booked for the next one already. Anna is a great teacher; clear, calm and understanding. A good listener and acts on the problems in a fun and easy way. I can feel the progress already.
