TESTIMONIALS
"When we were introduced to Molly, we were immediately struck by her charisma, energy and warmth. With a wealth of experience working professionally in theatre and television, Molly is able to draw on past and present experiences and share a depth of knowledge that is invaluable. She brings vitality and humour to her classes and inspires her pupils to achieve standards of which they would never have believed themselves capable. She has helped Archie gain confidence and maturity in interpreting text, and has been instrumental in helping him prepare for several key auditions in theatre and film to which he has achieved great success! Molly is wonderfully inspiring and we highly recommend her!”
- Mrs Barnes, parent, Streatham
"Molly has been an amazing drama teacher and has helped my son develop into a well rounded drama student and actor. She has helped him get a Distinction in his LAMDA Gold Medal and get a place in the Oxford School of Drama - Foundation Course. She has been a very supportive and has helped my son mature and develop into a young actor, while keeping the passion and love for the stage. She has helped mould him from a quiet shy person to a more confident individual which will not only help him in acting but will be a life skill that he will always use in the future."
- Mr Nazareno, parent of Grade 8 Distinction pupil, Surbiton
"I have to thank you so much, you are an excellent tutor and I will be recommending you to other friends. I thank you so much for your exceptional teaching."
- Ms Reid, parent of Grade 8 Distinction pupil, Croydon
"Molly is a fantastic teacher and has been amazing with my three boys. She has helped them achieve brilliant LAMDA grades and improve their confidence. As well as being an inspiring teacher she is always happy to help and ensure that you feel comfortable with what you're doing. The boys alway enjoy lessons and come away feeling happy and energised. Thank you Molly for being a wonderful teacher."
- Mrs Jamil, parent, Streatham
"Molly’s training in the last six months has been invaluable for developing my confidence, projection and the skills needed to read in a more nuanced way. I recently performed to a small theatre audience both with confidence and the sense that my poetry reading conveyed what I wanted – neither of which would have been possible without Molly’s help.
As a teacher, Molly is patient, kind and encouraging. She works with the student to understand what they hope to achieve. Her drama background and technical knowledge are invaluable and I always come away from lessons with a sense of achievement. I feel very lucky to have her support ongoing and would recommend her to anyone new to public speaking or readings."
- Anna, Adult Public Speaking Student
