About the store

Experience

I am a qualified drama teacher. I've taught in high schools; primary schools; privately (drama classes for 4 - 18 year old students) and at University level.

Teaching style

I believe that drama is a great tool across many subjects and I like to incorporate drama into multiple subjects curriculum. More than just fun, drama is a tool to develop self confidence, awareness, creative thinking, language, artistry, teamwork and expression. Multiple studies have shown that students involved in the arts generally perform better across all academic studies and I have that in mind when designing curriculum.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Received academic honors throughout my university studies. Winner of various awards including for direction (youth play) and for my involvement in adult theatre productions.
