Naomi - Woodford tutor
Information About Naomi:
Personal Description:
After gaining straight As and A*s at GCSE and A level, I studied at the University of Birmingham for three years where I came away with a BA Joint Honours degree in English Language and Drama and Theatre Arts. After spending a year learning a lot about the often difficult and gruelling process of getting a place in drama school, I moved to London to take up my place at the reputable East 15 Acting School, accredited by the University of Essex. After three years spent studying the noble art of Acting, I graduated in June 2011 and am now working as a professional actor. My interests obviously include theatre and film, along with photography, art design and crafts, and running my vintage china stall in Spitalfields market!
Teaching Experience:
Both my parents are teachers and I grew up spending all of my holiday time in and out of schools! As soon as I reached secondary school age I assisted in my mother's primary school, taking on board various teaching methods across all ages of the school. I started to run the drama club here for Key Stage 2, and later took on the responsibility of running the Key Stage 3 drama club when I was in Sixth Form. I have also worked frequently with the educational consultancy company Attainment Partnership, coaching pupils on presentational skills. I teach regularly at a primary school academy in London, taking pupils for drama and creative learning classes. My most recent tour involved taking workshops and shows into primary and middle schools, performing up to three times a day and working with pupils aged four to 13. All shows were curriculum based and involved working with large groups of sometimes difficult children to help reach their potential in performance.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that my experience assisting in primary schools from an early age, teamed with my time with Attainment Partnership has equipped me to work with a wide range of ages appropriately, allowing me to tailor my approach to the needs of the individual. Working intensively in schools over the past few months has given me the skill set needed to motivate and inspire pupils, and this job, together with my constant research has kept me well up to date with the ever-changing curriculum. As an actor I am able to communicate freely with pupils and just as importantly, listen to what they need and want. I enjoy my work and aim to impart not just my knowledge, but most importantly my passion, to my pupils.
