Dean

I am an MA graduate from The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and Kings College and hold a 1st class BA in Drama and Theatre from Royal Holloway, University of London. I am an arts enthusiast with incisive critical engagement skills and 10 years private tuition experience. I`m able to draw from a wide range of critical theories and approaches when analysing arts and performance related texts.

I like to spread a love and enthusiasm for arts and humanities subjects with an emphasis on the potential for personal as well as academic development. I am an adaptive tutor skilled at relating the work to the student`s own experiences, ensuring they establish their own academically applicable opinions, ideas and approaches. I`m a meticulous problem solver and am able to pinpoint areas that need attention, particularly in essays, coursework and presentation work. I`m a natural entertainer but always maintain focus on the task at hand, offering insightful, productive and engaging tuition sessions to my students.

I maintain an industry standard cancellation/no show policy, please ask for details.

Availability: As a freelancer, I am extremely flexible and am happy to arrange remote sessions at relatively late notice.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I graduated from Royal Holloway in 2011 with the highest degree grade of the graduate year and was employed by the department to run workshops for prospective students. I`m now a professional theatre-maker and freelance drama practitioner having led workshops with a wide spectrum of people from ages 10 up to 75 years old. Alongside tutoring I currently offer essay and dissertation guidance, proofreading and editing services.

I also offer audition guidance and monologue tuition for actors and acting students, and teach public speaking. I have taught at RADA, BPP Law School and The University of West London, among others.

Testimonial from Nadia:

"Dean`s tuition was fantastic! He is patient but he still pushed me to do my best. I am much more confident writing about drama and theatre. Dean made sure I understood everything we talked about which meant I didn`t forget it in my exam and I ended up getting an A!"

Testimonial from Yin

"Dean`s guidance really got the best out of me and he pushed me to explore my arguments in my dissertation. He gave me very precise, useful feedback on my dissertation. He is very nice to deal with and speak to and I was so happy with him. He also increased my English vocabulary!"

Testimonial for Kevin
"I was really unsure and didn`t know where to start with my first A2 exams but Dean`s help made everything much easier and I feel much calmer and way more confident about the rest of my course. Thank you."
