/ Kenneth G.
I am a qualified teacher (QTLS) with a continual ‘outstanding’ track record by governing bodies such as ‘Ofsted’, a graduate chartered psychologist (BPS), and a professionally registered residential care worker (SSSC). I was honoured with a 1st in Masters Level 7 ‘Introduction to Art Psychotherapy’, and am predicted a 1st in both counselling skills, and education and information management specialist courses, as to gain COSCA and CILIP qualifications.
In addition to my nationally recognised qualifications in psychology, sociology, and education, I have extensive training in applying; cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational questioning, psycho-social practices, positive behaviour support, and pro social behaviour support models. Most recently, I have completed courses in tackling exam stress and emotional based school avoidance via British Psychological Society. I have certified training experience in health and safety, first aid, mental health first aid, safeguarding, equality and diversity, fire marshalling, manual handling, cyber security, coding, desktop publishing, and all major www.*** and Microsoft software. Furthermore, I have language proficiency certifications in Chinese (Mandarin), British Sign Language, and am conversational in Gaelic (Scottish).
My professional roles include teacher, key worker, residential social support worker, and trainee educational mental health practitioner with world leading organizations such as NHS, Priory Health Group Juilliard, Nord Anglia, New College Nottingham, UK Carnival Arts Centre, and YouPress. My wide experience of working in supportive environments with children, young people and their families includes residential and/ or care facilities, youth centres, clinical centres mainstream, and specialized schools such as pupil referral units and boarding schools. Furthermore, my voluntary work with ShoutUK as a telecounsellor, ambassador for National Autistic Society, horse therapy for autistic children with Shanghai Equine Centre further highlight my commitment to growth, development, equal opportunities and high-quality services and support for children.

Online Drama Teachers
Preparing for an audition? In need of confidence building or acting guidance? Vastly experienced and successful Head of Drama available for one to one/ group online coaching.
With over 30 years of classroom, strategic, managerial, examination and assessment experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to tutoring your child/you. Tutoring is all about focusing the student on exactly what the question/task demands and demystifying the process, opening up possibilities and developing intellectual curiosity.
In my most recent school, one class had a value added score of +2.07. Across the entire GCSE cohort, 87% G9-G4 achieved, from a predicted 54%.
Before we start the tutoring, I carry out an audit of what knowledge and understanding of content there is, plus learning about the obstacles you face, what perceptions hold you back and finding out what kind of learner you are.
I will listen really carefully to what you need and will offer a plan to help you progress and move forward. Similarly, if I can't help, I will inform you of this too. It's really important that we get on.
Every student/learner is different; every backstory is unique. Many students have barriers; sometimes reassurance and pointing in the right direction will suffice.
Some years ago, I tutored a student on a Saturday morning. He was a bright and a very able science/maths learner (straight As at GCSE) yet could not handle English or Literature and this was clearly holding him back (both his own self-esteem and his grades). It took a few weeks to instill a new way of apporaching the texts/writing, but once we applied a 'scientific approach' to analysis, it completely revolutinised his way of working. (He moved from a D to an A in four months of being with me, by the way!)
That was not a one-off. My recent tutoring has enabled me to accelerate learners way beyond what they thought they were capable of. Tutees are at the centre of the experince and it is all focused on them. I have an excellent interpersonal style, which is firm and fair, with a strong sense of agenda and coverage. We will go over things, revisiting to reinforce previous learning and to create the space where the tutee feels more independent and able to move forward without support. When a tutee says "I think I'm good from here!" I take that as a moment of great success!
Whether it's GCSE, A Level, BTEC or degree level, I will commit to working with you to make great progress.

I have been teaching since 2006 across Yorkshire and Staffordshire, to a variety of age groups and abilities and in a variety of settings; from community groups to sixth-form colleges. Now I have returned to my roots in Doncaster, where I began performing at the age of 7 years and founded DN4 Dance & Theatre in 2019. In addition to a BA Hons in Dance and PGCE (PCET), I have a background in Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Musical Theatre and is a registered teacher with BBOdance (British Ballet Organisation). When I'm not teaching, I work closely with local Theatre groups and on a professional basis, acting, singing and providing choreography for events/productions. Over my experience in working in FE, I have successfully supported many of my students in their application process to Higher Education and Drama school; selecting and rehearsing monologues for audition and preparing UCAS application. Some of my former students are currently studying at ALRA and UCLAN and I have also successfully helped students gain entry to Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge.
While my recent formal experience has been with FE students and above, I have taught students from the age of 5 through to university level on a wide range of topics. Areas of study include; Physical Theatre (from Dance-based to Commedia dell'Arte), Shakespeare, Contemporary Theatre, Prose.
A general lesson will include a short warm-up (either skills or focus based) prior to the main content; breaking down a script/choreography, rehearsal, feedback and discussion based on learning taken place and next steps. I try to make lessons as practical as I can, dependent on the material that we are working with and the end result required.
Experienced peripatetic woodwind and piano teacher.
Secondary classroom music teacher.
Qualified teacher specialising in Performing Arts. Teaching in education for over 14 years and currently teaching GCSE and BTEC
My teaching career began over two decades ago. I spent six happy years at the ArtsEd Drama School in Chiswick, where, rather serendipitously, I assumed the reins of responsibility from MY drama teacher! I worked for a further 15 years at a highly ambitious and educationally driven institution, Ibstock Place School in Roehampton. I still teach part-time at Ewell Castle School, near Epsom. I am a highly experienced practitioner of Drama. I have directed countless productions, small and large scale. I have Production Managed almost every single one, so good organisation and the requirement to be 'people-friendly' and an effective communicator, are skills I acquired quickly and retain today. Most of all, I am proud to say that former pupils have gone on to study at a host of vocational training institutions: RADA, Guildhall, Brit, London Contemporary and Laines, and are themselves now successfully working professionally as actors, singer, dancers and stage managers. Some have even gone on to play leading roles on Broadway, the West-End, the RSC, Regent's Park and film and TV. I have taught both GCSE and A-Level Drama with a proven track record of outstanding results, year on year. I know what exam boards require and what pitfalls to avoid. I understand different learning styles and appreciate that young people do not necessarily fall into the same learning mould. I am happy to accommodate everyone. I have examined Drama GCSE and Expressive Arts GCSE for AQA. In pastoral roles, as a former Head of Year 11 and Sixth Form Tutor, I am acutely aware of the physical and mental pressures our teenagers can experience as they try to navigate the choppy waters around public examinations season. You will find me empathic, patient and interested in helping learners challenge their perceptions of learning, helping them shift from a 'fixed' mindset to a 'growth' mindset, thus repairing a bruised self-confidence in the process. I have taught LAMDA Examinations in Acting and ESB (English Speaking Board) Public Speaking Examinations, each to Grade 8, Gold Medal Level, once again, with a proven track record of success. Throughout my career, I have always held a managerial role. I have been Subject Leader for Drama, Head of a large Creative Arts Faculty and also on the Senior Leadership team at ArtEd. Latterly at IPS, I was on the Building Committee, advising on constructing a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Complex which included a Proscenium Arch Theatre and fully equipped Studio Theatre. Crucially, my teaching work has been underpinned and informed by my early career working as a professional actor and Stage Manager. I studied a Performing Arts degree at Middlesex University, after which, I spent a decade performing in the West-End and National Touring large-scale musicals. I have worked extensively in the recording studio and on the radio. Until Covid hit last year, I was the Stage Door Keeper of the Noel Coward Theatre, working for Sir Cameron Mackintosh.
I am currently in my third year of Secondary teaching at a comprehensive school in Surrey. I teach Drama for Year 7 through to Year 13. I also teach English to Year 7 through to Year 9.
I have a range of experience with SEND needs and can differentiate my teaching to meet any needs your child may have.
At the moment, I am only offering online tutoring. I am more than happy to be more flexible with my times if needs be.
