Tutoring Experience:
I have been teaching Singing for over 25 years, both in colleges, conservatoire and in private practice.
Over the years, my students have included complete beginners to excellent professional singers. My students have sung in West End shows, in cabaret, recording studio and on cruiseships. Others have joined the choir or ensemble of their choice.
Tutoring Approach:
My lessons divide into two halves.
The first half is devoted to technique: vital breathing exercises, singing exercises (vocalises), creating the link between voice and body.
In the second half of the lesson, we put technique into practice by singing and performing the songs of your choice.

JaneFrom Catherine (5/5): Jane, is an outstanding expert professional. Also making the sessions bespoke to my needs.
Reply from: Jane: Thank you, Catherine. It is a pleasure to teach you.
From Vera (/5): Jane is an excellent teacher. Highly professional. Thank you!
Reply from: Jane: Thank you Vera. I will continue to help you reach your chosen goal.
From Matt (/5): I am proficient in English and possess a mixed accent influenced by both American and Persian (my native tongue). Seeking to acquire a British accent through elocution lessons, I turned to Jane, an exceptional teacher. She designs a rigorous program for her clients, providing relevant materials prior to each lesson. These materials encompass consonant and vowel exercises, poetry and literature reading, as well as vocabulary enhancement. Thanks to Jane's guidance, my confidence and delivery in the English language have significantly improved.
Reply from: Jane: Thank you for your feedback, Matt.
You have come such a long way in your lessons. The US accent is often very difficult to overcome, as although it is English, many of the sounds made are completely different in a physiological sense. You have been working 'replacing' many sounds. Well done!

From Alessandra (/5): Jane is a competent, thorough and communicative tutor. Her lessons, on advanced pronunciation and intonation, are very interesting and the material she provides is pertinent and stimulating. Jane is very quick in answering my questions and always ready to explain in detail any linguistic feature I might query about. I am really enjoying her lessons and highly recommend her as a tutor.
Reply from: Jane: Thank you Alessandra. It has been very interesting for me to work with you.
From Marina (/5): My 14-year old son had 4 half hour elocution lessons with Jane, which were conducted over Skype. She connected with him very well and he found the lessons enjoyable. She was very professional and although she has only had 2 hours in which to work with him, I note some real progress in terms of his awareness and an improvement in the clarity of his speech. We will return for further lessons once he has had his orthodontic braces removed. Highly recommend!
