A Level Drama Tuition for Students Who Want Top Grades
The step up from GCSE to A Level Drama is significant. The set texts are more demanding, the written exam expects critical depth, and the devising coursework needs to show genuine engagement with practitioners and theatre-making processes. I help students rise to the challenge.

What I Cover
My A Level course is designed around the core components of the qualification, with teaching tailored to your child's specific exam board.
Devising Coursework
I guide students through the entire devising process: choosing a stimulus, researching and applying practitioner methodologies (from Brecht and Artaud to Frantic Assembly and Complicité), creating and refining original work, and writing the coursework portfolio. I focus on developing the critical voice that distinguishes an A or A* from a B.
Set Text Study
I work through the set texts in depth, exploring them as a performer, designer and director. Students develop the ability to move fluently between practical interpretation and analytical writing. I focus on the playwright's intentions, historical and social context, and the range of creative choices available when staging key scenes.
Written Exam Preparation
The written paper demands precise, well-structured responses that demonstrate both knowledge and creative imagination. I teach students how to construct arguments, use subject-specific terminology with confidence, and write about live theatre with the detail and insight that top-band answers require.
Performance Skills
For the practical components, I coach vocal and physical technique, characterisation, ensemble awareness, and stagecraft. Whether students are performing scripted extracts or devised work, I help them develop the polish and presence that examiners reward.
