One free consultation lesson of up to 30 mins duration without any obligation to proceed. Lessons are then charged at £35 per hour, but there may be special arrangements for shared lessons. Please see my uploaded guidance document file below. Charities and "not for profit" organisations may be offered a small discount. Contact me for further details.
- Where do you teach?
Upper Beeding Village Hall, High Street, Upper Beeding, West Sussex, BN44 3WN. I am sometimes willing to travel to a student's place of work if their employer is paying for their lessons or to teach staff or students in a group seminar. Group seminar fees are available on application.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
It is not possible to teach voice, speech or acting subjects online. I'm afraid I'm very "hands on". "Online" help for essay writing/proof reading will be via e-mail.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
You can see that I offer a wide range of training in communication skills and drama. If your situation is not mentioned here please contact me to see if I can help. You will find much more information on my website.

About Maggie

- Tell me about some of your current students.
I usually have approximately 15-25 private students during the term. Approximately half of these will be preparing for the LAMDA or RADA examinations or auditions for drama school, National Youth Theatre, etc. The rest come for various reasons to do with voice and speech or presentation/communication skills and public speaking. I have recently taught three BBC South Today news reporters, several freelance broadcast journalists and presenters, several business people, trainee teachers, an author wishing to gain speaking skills in order to promote her book and one or two models and background artists wishing to break into acting. I often coach non-native speakers of English to improve their pronunciation and people lacking public speaking experience who have such daunting prospects as wedding speeches, etc, looming large. My students are all ages and from all backgrounds.
