You have a strong background in the performing arts, and have gravitated toward education because you believe in the power of drama to positively affect the lives of young people. You have experience teaching Speech and Drama to students in a variety of settings, especially working with students to develop performance items.
Your kind, positive approach to communicating with students and parents reflects your passion for teaching and learning. In your lessons, you find the perfect balance between learning experiences that are on the one hand energetic and silly, and on the other hand, professional and organised.
You are an example to your students and you are always well presented and punctual. Your work both in the classroom, and outside ensures that Speak Up Studio is viewed as a professional organisation by current and prospective parents.
You travel to your various classes through the week, and deliver Speak Up Studio content in an engaging and non-competitive manner. Your high quality work and commitment ensures long term student retention. Your work is valued and you are remunerated not only for the time you spend teaching, but also for time you spend preparing for lessons and following up after lessons.
