Whatever happens in class is a feather on your cap!  Your detailed and individual feel in teaching your students is immensely appreciated. My daughter has shown progress through overcoming hurdles related to her new school. Under your guidance she has secured her stand towards confidence and speech control in a more disciplined fashion and looks forward to her classes with you. We thank you for the effort in nurturing her talent and bringing out the best in her

Emma is an inspirational teacher. She consistently puts all of her time and effort into each child in order for them to reach their maximum potential. Emma’s determination and willing is what forms the unbreakable bond between student and teacher. Emma helped me reach boundaries that I never thought were possible. Thank you for never giving up on me!

Student

I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciations for all that you have done with my son. What a journey!   He has grown so much with you in terms of his confidence and his height! I really want you to know what a positive impact you have had. He now teaches younger children at school and has introduced some new Drama initiatives which are proving to be very successful. He is also the Drama prefect. Thank you for your coaching, reassurance, advice, nudging and everything else you have put into the development of my son

Parent

Thanking you for your continuous learning and expression which has brought about a positive change and confidence in my son.

Parent

I can't thank you enough for challenging me to become better. Your guidance and patience inspired me to challenge myself. Thank you for your kind words and for always reassuring me that every mistake is all part of the learning process. Working in a professional environment is good enough but to actually work alongside someone that exhibited so much passion, professionalism and enthusiasm far exceeded my expectations.

Emma delivered a workshop in children's theatre at Wellington International School last term. Emma presented a varied and lively programme to develop the students' performing arts skills and, despite having a cohort of only four students, her infectious enthusiasm and energy meant that she soon had all the students singing along to well known nursery rhymes without a hint of self-consciousness!

What I appreciated the most about Miss Emma was her ability to involve all students in every project, keep everyone happy and deliver the expected results by focusing on each student’s individual strength.   Emma has been there since the beginning of my daughter's growth and admits that there is no end. If you are looking to nurture your child’s confidence, self esteem as well as other necessary life skills, Emma is the perfect teacher to have

Parent

As always you make children feel good about them. My daughter always comes back so very happy. It's been a difficult year for her but she's come up and through stronger and I feel it's because of teachers like you. There should be more Emma's in the world.

Parent

.....No wonder people often say - the teacher makes the subject! Thank you!

Parent

I want you to know that you have helped me grow in my confidence and as a person. You have been an awesome teacher to me and you have pushed me to try new things that I would never have done otherwise. Thank you for the awesome memories you have given me

Student

With Emma being my drama teacher, I have not only gained extensive knowledge on the drama mediums and elements through the works of famous practitioners such as Stanislavski, but I have gained knowledge of the world around me. Each class I learn more about drama and there is never a dull lesson. On many different occasions ranging from, being stuck on an improvisation exercise to having a school issue, I am more than comfortable to look to Emma for guidance and advice when approaching the situation and constantly find that her outlook on the problem will have the best possible output. I do not look at Emma as a teacher, but more of an inspiration and role model for who I want to be.

Student

One of Emma's most impressive qualities (aside from her obvious theatrical talent!) is her professionalism. She took a lot of care to consult with me before the workshop to ensure that what she delivered was tailor made to the requirements of the A Level Performing Arts syllabus.

Parent

Emma is extremely passionate about what she teaches and this is reflected in the students in her care. Emma has been instrumental in sculpting my son's talent in drama. She was able to bring him out of his shell and in doing so has increased his self confidence. He always had a love for acting and Emma brought out the best in him.  She teaches her students life skills that can be taken into any field, including having a positive attitude, perseverance, collaboration, problem solving, respect and much more. She is able to bring out what is in your heart and shape it into pure expression that characterizes each individual.  It is with her encouragement and professionalism for this art form coupled with his drama DP courses at school that have sparked my son's desire to embark on his own journey in drama.   Emma is an amazing teacher. Students in her care are in the best hands. Whether doing Drama just for fun or at a professional level, I highly recommend her

Parent

Emma is a teacher with a heart. She cares about her students and works hard to ensure they achieve their individual goals. She puts in extra time to develop lessons that help her students grow whilst succeeding at the same time. Her dedication to her students' success is the core of who she is!

Parent

We have been fortunate to have had our children under Emma’s guidance for many years. From nervous and sobbing performers to confident stage presenters and public speakers, our daughters have transformed under Emma’s guidance, support and the confidence that she has instilled in them. She is a dedicated and meticulous teacher who gently nudges her students to showcase their strengths while systematically helping them to overcome their weaknesses. Her meticulous planning ensures that she is able to concentrate on each one of her students, while also providing constructive feedback for further development.  Emma’s commitment towards her students goes beyond her classroom and is evident in her passion and focus on their overall development.  An open, communicative and caring teacher, such as Emma, is a boon to have. Thanks for giving my daughters their wings of confidence and love of performing.

Parent

You have been very inspirational to both my children and from the bottom of my heart, I pay due respect to you for blossoming their personalities. Thank you!

Parent

Emma is a fantastic teacher who cares so much about the development of the students under her guidance. She has boundless energy and positivity that shines on all those she interacts with. She is a joy to be around and a skillful, talented and patient educator who invests in her own continuous professional development to ensure she keeps abreast of all the latest pedagogical approaches.

Parent

Thanks a lot for your note and all the hard work being put in towards my daughter’s development. We will share the feedback and action areas with her. She is really enjoying working with you, so thanks once again for the efforts to bring the best out of her!

Parent

Emma has had such a positive impact on my daughter's life. At a time when she was struggling, something in her identified with something in you and not only did you help to bring her out of her shell but you helped her to shine and for that I will be forever grateful

Parent

You are an inspiration to so many children and have so much energy that you pass onto them that simply changes lives! I am thankful that we met you!

Parent

Assisting you with your workshops was absolutely fantastic. You were amazing and letting me part of this was the best gift ever! I remember coming in on the first day and seeing a load of new faces which are now of the norm to me. Not only that but your workshops taught me a few things including: Better social skills: I used to get pretty shy around strangers however now I don’t. Friends: I made many new friends and became closer with old ones. You taught me how to get to Costa Coffee in 2 minutes, how to deal with people professionally, teaching skills and so much more. You are one of my biggest role-models and it would be my honour to be half the person that you are!

Student

Your guidance, teaching and mentorship have had a great contribution to the growing of my son into a responsible personality. Thank you!

Parent

My daughter simply adores you and is so very inspired by you. So much so that she now wants to be a famous actress when she grows up!

Parent

Honestly we have so much to thank you for, the pleasure that we get from watching our son perform and the excitement and highs that he gets from being on stage truly come thanks to you. If you had accepted his plea of 'it's boring' all those years ago, I dread to think how much he and we would have missed out on.

Parent

It is always great to have a teacher that pushes you to do your best even if that means they are taking time from their own lives to do so. Miss Emma is the kind of teacher that, when you walk into her class you feel comfortable and ready. She has taught me how to show the audience how I am feeling without saying a word. I felt like I belonged somewhere in Miss Emma's class. I have learned that preparation is the key to success and you always have to be prepared for anything that may come in your way. I have learned that everyone starts somewhere and, no matter where that is, we can all progress and make something positive out of ourselves.

Student

Emma was my gregarious boys’ drama teacher for many years and they have thrived under her leadership. She conducts her classes with vigor, enthusiasm and draws out the best in every child. Her commitment to delivering an ‘experience’ to the children always shines through when they feedback on what they have learnt – always hungry to attend the next session!

Parent

I always look at you as the other sun on the planet. I don’t know how you manage all that exuberance!

Parent

During the workshop, her obvious commitment to her craft quickly rubbed off on the young adults attending the class. As a result, they really upped their game and learnt valuable new skills which they used later (very successfully) in one of their examination performances.

Parent

My daughter has made tremendous progress under your guidance and I thank you whole heartedly for training her.

Parent

We can't thank you enough for all of your patience and nurturing of our son. You truly have the needs of every child as your highest priority!

Parent

Working with Miss Emma over the past 4 years has not only enabled me to become the actor that I am today but also develop a proper understanding of myself and the direction in which I want to go. Miss Emma has been supportive, understanding, and compassionate while educating me, making her one of the most influential teachers I have had the pleasure of working with. The time and effort that she puts into the planning and delivery of lessons has made every class worth- while and has allowed for important concepts and techniques to not only be understood but also remembered.

Student

Your email warmed the cockles of my heart! Thank you for instilling into my son the same love of drama that I had!

Parent

Your communication is brilliant as always! Having done many other drama classes, there is no comparison in terms of feedback! I know it takes time and effort for you to do this but it is really valuable! Thank you!

Parent

As one of my first drama teachers I feel like you really taught me the roots and helped me as I first started on my journey. Through your classes I have learned how to be more confident, more outgoing and also how to be able to talk to people who are not specifically my age. I could not have done this without your support. I'll miss your jokes and when you give us life altering advice and also how you take a step back and let us steer the wheel in our devising. In conclusion, thank you so, so much for being a supportive teacher and allowing me to have the opportunity to perform in your plays.

Student

I just want to thank you for all hard work. All the years of work my son has put in has really paid off in all aspects of his life! His newfound passion for writing and theatre work has allowed him to pursue different forms of media such as film, and animation. Thank you for all you've done!
