Expert GCSE & A Level Drama Tuition in London & Online
Hi, I'm Sophie! After six years teaching Drama — including two years as Head of Drama at Hampstead Fine Arts College — I've dedicated myself to helping young people unlock their potential in GCSE and A Level Drama. I teach in person in central London and online across the UK. I believe every student has the ability to achieve a top grade with the right teaching. My approach blends rigorous exam preparation with the warmth and encouragement students need to take creative risks. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student walk out of their final exam knowing they've absolutely nailed it.

Success Stories
Lucy was predicted a C and had lost all confidence in the written side of Drama. Sophie taught her how to get her ideas onto the page, and everything changed. She went from a C to an A* and is now studying at The University of Manchester. I don't think that would have happened without Sophie's teaching.
Olivia kept getting Bs and we couldn't work out why. Sophie spotted it straight away. She had the knowledge but wasn't structuring her answers to hit the top marks. She got an A. The difference was having someone who truly understood what examiners wanted.
James was in Year 11 and really struggling with his devising log. He's a brilliant performer but putting it into words was a nightmare. Sophie gave him the tools to write about his practical work with real confidence. He went from a Grade 5 to a Grade 8. We only wish we'd found her sooner.
Why Your Drama Tutor?
A Specialist, Not a Generalist
This is all I do. I don't teach Maths on Mondays and Drama on Thursdays. I'm a dedicated Drama specialist with deep knowledge of the AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas specifications, and I understand exactly what examiners are looking for.
Both Sides of Drama
Most students don't struggle with the performing. They struggle with the writing. The devising log, the evaluation, the written exam. I coach both the practical and the academic, because that's what the qualification demands.
A Qualified Teacher, Not a Tutor
There's a difference between a tutor and a teacher. I bring six years of classroom experience, two years leading a Drama department, and a deep understanding of how students learn Drama — not just subject knowledge, but the ability to teach it.
Real Exam Preparation
I don't just teach Drama. I teach students how to pass Drama exams. Mark schemes, written response structure, performance text selection, and how to impress an external examiner on the day.
