Shelley

Student-centred Drama & LAMDA teacher with 10+ years acting experience (Uber, Toyota, EY) & 5 years teaching. All levels welcome. Empathetic & tailored approach.

I specialise in teaching LAMDA Acting, Devising Drama, public speaking, and performance skills, working with young people to build confidence, creativity, and clear communication.

My teaching style is nurturing, caring, and student-centred. I believe every student is unique, and I tailor each lesson to suit their individual needs, strengths, and learning style. I create a safe and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to take creative risks, make mistakes, and grow in confidence both on and off the stage.

Alongside my teaching work, I am a professionally trained actor and voice actor. I have trained in screen acting at Run At It SHOUTING and Act Up North and hold a Grade A HNC in Acting and Performance. My professional experience includes stage work at the Edinburgh Fringe and voiceover work for major global brands. This industry experience allows me to bring real-world insight into my teaching, helping students develop strong performance technique, vocal clarity, emotional truth, and stage presence.

I have taught LAMDA and drama in schools for several years, guiding students through exams, performances, and devised work, while also supporting their personal development. My aim is always to help students feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress, using drama as a powerful tool for self-expression, communication, and self-belief.
