Acting Tutors : 1-1 Acting Lessons

I’m a passionate, bubbly, and energetic educator with over five years of experience inspiring young minds in both primary and secondary settings. Originally primary-trained, I transitioned into secondary teaching where I currently specialise in Religious Education. My broad classroom and tutoring experience has equipped me with the adaptability to support learners of all abilities across a wide range of subjects and key stages. I bring warmth, enthusiasm, and a deep commitment to student progress, whether I’m preparing pupils for SATs, GCSEs, or A-Level exams, or boosting their confidence in everyday learning. Known for my engaging teaching style and student-centred approach, I create safe and stimulating environments where learners feel heard, challenged, and celebrated. My holistic teaching philosophy nurtures both academic growth and personal development, empowering students to reach their full potential.

Hi! My name is Doaa Sallam, I’m a 4th-year Medical Student at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.
I’m originally from Egypt, however I was born and raised in Kuwait. I attended a British International School where I completed my IGCSE, AS and A Levels.
I’ve always admired how there is an endless amount of knowledge, and although we have a plethora of information we are only hitting the tip of the iceberg there is so much more to discover and that excites me to learn more each day. I’ve always loved all the subjects we would do in school, more specifically the sciences and math, how they stimulate our brains in ways that are so interesting, and how so many different aspects and professions are all correlated one way or another! Like how we can use geography, mathematics to calculate statistics, medicine and biology to understand how certain areas of the world are more susceptible to a greater amount of people suffering from allergies etc.
Going through school and now 4 years into university, I’ve realised that there is no one way to study – it is purely adaptable to each student and their learning styles. Being able to test different studying techniques and tips has given me the ability to know which techniques are suited to improving one’s grades and how to study smarter – not harder.
My endless love for the ongoing growth of science and being able to guide people into understanding complex aspects in simpler terms is something I can’t wait to share!

I have just completed an MSt in Modern Languages (French & English) at the University of Oxford, following a BA in French & Philosophy.

I started Sixth Form with a science focus, however quickly fell in love with studying French literature which enabled me to gain a deeper cultural understanding of my French heritage.

Throughout my BA and MSt studies in French, I explored a broad range of early modern and modern French texts and how these sit within the wider cultural, historical and political context. In particular, I am familiar with the works of Molière, Racine, Hugo, Camus, Sartre, Beckett, Ionesco, Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Mérimée, Maupassant, Flaubert, Duras and Djebar, amongst others.

For my undergraduate coursework project, I was awarded the inaugural Clément Olympe Lavanne Prize in 2023 for the best performance in Francophone Literature, with a preference for French Caribbean Literature.

My postgraduate studies spanned three particular areas of research: Beckett’s Poetics of Ignorance; Law and Literature in France from 1450-1700; and Molière’s celebrity status in the 17th century French theatrical landscape.

Having studied arts, humanities and sciences up to IB, I can support with mathematics and science from KS1 to GCSE, as well as French and English Literature up to A-level / IB standard. I achieved 41/45 points for my IB (2019) with a 7 in French, 6 in Chemistry and 6 in Biology at Higher Level; following 12 GCSEs all graded A*-A / 7-9. I am a native French speaker and received extensive translation and essay writing training over the course of my undergraduate studies.

I am happy to help with any university personal statements, support MLAT and interview preparation, and offer general information about the Oxford Modern Languages and Philosophy courses as well as demystify the college system and university life more broadly.

I also love theatre, cinema, dance, music and travelling!

I am a dedicated and approachable tutor with a strong passion for helping students unlock their full potential. My teaching style is supportive, structured, and tailored to individual needs, ensuring that each student builds confidence as well as subject knowledge. I believe that learning is not just about memorising facts but about developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and genuine understanding. With a focus on clear explanations, practical techniques, and exam strategies, I aim to make complex topics engaging and accessible. I understand the pressures students face, so I work to create a motivating environment that reduces stress and builds resilience. Whether preparing for exams or strengthening foundations, I am committed to helping every learner achieve success and enjoy the journey of education.

I am an experienced, proactive, rigorous and energetic tutor, Oxbridge graduate and creative professional with extensive experience working as a teacher, support officer, and artist. I have a very strong academic record, having a achieved a Class I BA in Human, Social and Political Sciences at King’s College, Cambridge University, an MFA in Theatre Directing at Birkbeck College and all A and A at A Level and GCSE from Tiffin Girl’s School. I continue my love of academia into my life and it fuels all my creative work and work with young people. I love to teach, mentor and guide young people in academic and other areas of life, and have often been described as a good role model. I started teaching on my gap year in Minorca, as a sailing instructor, and have continued my passion tutoring part time ever since, including everything from 11+, English Language, Early Years, Oxbridge Entrance and History A Level through various organisations. My effective communication skills and positive energy have seen me excel in public facing roles. As a youth support worker, child support officer and workshop facilitator, I am also used to working with groups of people and managing difficult behaviour with a professional, yet kind and warm attitude.

Outside of teaching and youth work, I also work in the domestic abuse sector, having previously worked at Women’s Aid and currently employed at Refuge on the 24hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline, hoping to contribute to the ending of violence towards women and girls. I am a keen vegetable grower and avid reader of novels. I have lots of experience working in theatre and film and I watch and consume both many times a week. I worked for Potboiler Productions for a number of years and was assistant to the Director and Producer on The Little Stranger, working for the Oscar-nominated director, Lenny Abrahamson. For my directing work, I was awarded an OffWestEnd Award for my show ‘All the Little Lights’ in London, for best show of the Camden Fringe, and I won Best Director for my show ‘Knives and Forks’ at the Bitesize Festival in Hammersmith this year.

I love to write, play my accordion, cook and grow things too, and think cultivating hobbies and interests is essential for good learning habits!
