Having seen her teaching, I would be more than happy for Glennon to cover any of my lessons in future and would gladly pass on any teaching work I was unable to undertake on to her as I am confident she would deliver high quality lessons and the students would learn a great deal.

Having been the education officer for The People's Theatre Company, I know how hard it can be with staff letting you down at the last minute. I have just finished a couple of acting jobs and am currently spending my time running my own theatre company. and freelance teaching. This means that I am able to cover drama classes, even in cases of emergencies at short notice with only a couple of hours to go! I have a current CRB and a car, enabling me to cover classes from Hackney to Hampstead and from Croyden to Cheam.
I began working with kids while at school myself, when I ran the PR and Marketing for a young woman’s magazine. We centred on 13 - 15 yr old girls encouraging them to try new hobbies and experiences. I also volunteered at a local nursery for an afternoon a week where I discovered that I was not necessarily a baby person, but I loved reading and playing with the 2&3 yr olds. After leaving school, I was asked to return and run a couple of Macbeth master classes for yr 10s and this was when my love of teaching really took off.
After completed a post-grad at Drama Studio London I have been lucky enough to teach hundreds of children all over London a massive range of subjects, from Victorian Drama to scientific marvels, I've been there! I began working for The People's Theatre Company in 2006 as a drama teacher in one of their after school clubs, and early last year I became their education officer which meant I was responsible for the growth of the business. Although my work has been successful and class sizes and number of classes are both up, I really missed the actual teaching, and this (plus several acting jobs) has lead me to return to the world of freelance drama teaching!
Since going freelance I have worked with various different companies, often covering their lessons at the last minute.
Companies include: Stagecoach Cheam, Little Actors Theatre Company, Stagecoach Ealing, Drama Queens, Mad Science, Stagecoach Hanwell, Drama Circle Workshops.
Schools I have taught at include: Strand on the Green Primary, Laleham Primary, Chasebridge Primary, Fernhill Primary, Nelson Primary, St Judes Primary, Stanley Primary & many many more.
I hope you keep me in mind for any of your needs; if you would like more information about me or just fancy a chat, please feel free to give me a call!
