Great news! I have lots of experience coaching clients, young and old for competitions/events on local, national, and even international platforms, for in-person, online, and video submission too. For non-native speakers, as well as native speakers.

And yes!! I have had MANY clients win (including those for whom this was their first ever competition), get top marks, and most importantly, surprise themselves by how skilled they are. We can prepare your presentation/talk (I can even coach you in how to annotate so it helps you present it), a poem, speech (published or original), prose extract, short story, piece of Shakespeare, or even prepare for an impromptu speech competition. If you need to find a piece, I can help with that, too!

Great news! I have helped many clients from aged 5 all the way to 18 to smash that school entrance interview (including many for whom it was their very first interview, for highly competitive independent schools- including top Music schools, 11+ interviews, and even for non-native speakers for top English-speaking schools). We look at many categories of typical questions and look at not only WHAT to say, but HOW to say it to present the best version of you.

I have also coached many clients for media interviews for local and national television and radio interviews, podcasts, and Q&A sessions at events.

For College/University/Job interview coaching, I work with subject-specific questions and encourage clients to find ways to share specific, related experience.

Great news! Working with any chosen resource, which can be poems, published speeches (including Historical, famous speeches for older clients), prose extracts, or short stories, I can teach my 6 P's method. For example, how to use PACE to engage your audience better. The fantastic news here is that you can then apply the techniques you learn to ANY form of public speaking, EVEN writing your own original speeches. 

I have lots of experience coaching clients, young and old, and working with non-native speakers, as well as native speakers.

Great news! I have lots of experience coaching clients, young and old with different needs and requirements, including non-native as well as native English speakers. I have lots of successful experiences working with clients on the spectrum, with anxiety, including supporting confident communications in EBSA children. I also completed my level 2 in Understanding Autism, Understanding Mental Health First Aid, and Safeguarding Children.

And yes!! I have had MANY clients achieve success beyond anything they (or others) thought was possible. My method can be taught in a highly explicit way, allowing me to use instructions such as "say that quicker, or lift the pitch of your voice slightly" rather than the often harder to interrupt "make that sound more exciting, or happier". Live, in our sessions, I will adapt, reframe, and re-focus based on how the client is picking up (or not picking up) the technique.

My use of a green screen in my sessions allows me to use clear visual prompts/ reminders. I also share my screen, use physical flashcards on camera, and include 'brain-break/dopamine rewarding' little communication exercises when I can sense they are needed. 

Great news! I totally believe in the strength of my method, and I am always willing to try new public speaking areas, adapt, problem-solve, and branch out.

For example, a few years ago, I was approached by a mom to coach her teen who had been taking part in Debate competitions for several years, but was frustrated to never get the top marks. This was a new area of coaching for me, but I felt sure that my 6 P's method could help him. Of course, I could not coach him to slow down, in terms of his use of PACE, but instead we worked on bringing in verbal PUNCH, PAUSES, and his use of PROJECTION to make his points stronger. In his subsequent debate competition, he picked up a 3rd place, and then went on to move up through positions to be the lead speaker. I have coached clients for head girl positions, through Media Leader presentations, and prepared another for her media explosion after being cast as the face of a Disney product.

I also discovered that my method can work across other languages, too. Having coached a tween for several years, she asked me to coach her for her Hindi poem competition. I worked with a translation of the poem and helped her to bring in appropriate gestures and tone changes. She went on to win that year, AND the following year with another Hindi poem.

Great news! I am an experienced director, actress, and former high school drama teacher. I have lots of experience coaching clients, young and old, non-native speakers, as well as native speakers. Including some for whom working with me was their very first step into drama.

And yes!! I have had MANY clients be successful in auditions, and for drama schools places. Including, getting several of my high school students over several years, into a prestigious London Stage school that only takes a tiny handful of non-London-based students each year. 

I have recently started coaching for Trinity exams, in Speech and Drama and Acting, with the bonus of being able to offer mime as an option we can prepare.
