What do people say?
"Laura has worked with my two daughters since they were nine years old. They are now 17 and 16 respectively. Working in a group and individually, Laura has taught them invaluable ‘life' skills including how to communicate effectively and present themselves in the best possible way, whether it be on stage or in an interview.
Laura’s approach is thorough, as she teaches students how to analyse and dissect a text before exploring ways to perform it to an audience. My daughters have learnt how to think independently and to trust their creativity and intuition. It is a collaborative process and one that they love and value hugely.
Above all, Laura is a lovely person to work with and her passion and enthusiasm for her craft is inspiring and infectious."

"Laura is an inspiring, kind and brilliant teacher. Our son has benefited enormously from her teaching; not just in his acting and expression but in his confidence and ability to hold a room. He has a heightened love of language and theatre now, and Laura has very much nurtured that in him, I highly recommend her."

"Laura has worked with my children for over 6 years and in that time I cannot fault her commitment and dedication to her role.
During the 6 years she worked with my daughter, Laura has been the most amazing teacher and mentor. Not only did she inspire her acting, enabling her to exceed her potential and score top marks in LAMDA examinations, but also she built up her confidence and belief in herself, being someone she could totally trust and look to for advice and direction. We are indebted to Laura’s wisdom and guidance through the tough teenage years"

"Laura has a proven track record of empowering people to be the best version of themselves. Laura was instrumental in helping me find the confidence in myself to publicly perform. Her tools, techniques and honest approach helped me to identify my barriers and overcome these to provide articulate speeches. I now perform and speak in front of not only small groups, but large audiences and this would not have been possible without Laura's help."

"Owning and as CEO of an international company is a privilege but high pressure and stress are consequences. Laura has helped me to find strategies to harness the present moment and not become fixated on fear of future events for the business. She has worked methodically and thoroughly professionally at all times. She has proven herself to be ‘worth the money’ time and time again. I quite frankly would not have survived the recent uncertainty in the business without her Coaching."

"Laura guided our son through the Verse and Prose LAMDA syllabus from the introductory communication exams at Year 1 through to Grade 8 in Year 8. Laura’s meticulous attention to detail combined with a passion and deep understanding of the subject enables her to tailor the teaching for each child, achieving the best results. I would highly recommend Laura to work with your child to get the most out of what LAMDA offers."

"We have known Laura for a number of years and been impressed by her ability to understand and nurture our son’s potential. We will always be grateful to Laura for helping our son achieve his Drama Scholarship. She went out of her way to make sure he was well prepared and felt confident on the day of the audition. We have come to rely on Laura for her wealth of knowledge, experience and wise advice. We are confident that with Laura’s support and excellent teaching our son will continue to improve his skills and really enjoy learning."

"My son has been taught LAMDA by Laura since he was 7 and achieved Distinction in each exam. Over the years he has gained confidence and a real love of drama with Laura’s guidance and incredible expertise.
Furthermore he has just achieved a Drama Exhibition to his Senior school. Laura believed in him and persuaded us that he should go for it. Laura supported him all the way and kept him on the right track. It is a massive accomplishment for him and we wouldn’t have thought of doing it without her. Laura knew what parts suited him so choosing his audition piece wasn’t hard and he didn’t need to rush it as Laura did it in a relaxed and enjoyable way. He had weekly lessons in the lead up to the audition which included workshops and interview preparation.
As well as being a huge support to my son, Laura was always there for us. Quick in answering my questions, guiding us through the portfolio process and generally holding my hand when needed.
I couldn’t recommend her more as a drama teacher. But also, I thank her so much for making my son and the rest of his family incredibly proud."
