DRAMA SCHOOLS ENTRANCE SUPPORT, graduate of East 15, now working as a professional director across the UK, Asia and Europe.

Jimmy is a great tutor :) I have had input and lessons from them on and off for a couple of years now, and Jimmy's insights into characterisation, bringing life to a role, and navigating the changing market of the acting and directing profession, have been invaluable.

Technically, they really know their stuff and Jimmy has helped give a wider awareness of and armed me with some of the tools that they learned at drama school and as a working professional. Furthermore, I can always rely on Jimmy to be honest with their feedback and advice, not just on the choices and direction I look for in a role, but also in terms of direction and choices as an actor looking to improve my game and work opportunities too.

Jimmy has an imagination that is rich, unique and very perceptive, to a deep psychological level, as well as channeling that through their guidance, and helping their students to connect with the wealth of creativity that sometimes needs coaxing out - which I have found invaluable in being able to enjoy the detective work in bringing finer detail and more truth, whilst making less conventional, but bolder choices through the fun of exploration of the script (even with rather dry scripts!)

Jimmy is professional, very experienced and also very supportive and super easy to get along with.

I would recommend to anyone at any level, if you're looking to deepen a connection with a piece, reach further with your career or training, or if you're looking to find some alternative inspiration for classical, contemporary, or devised pieces.

Great tutor - Jimmy has a great knowledge of texts and technique and makes a really lovely learning environment in their classes.

Jimmy is AMAZING! I've been working with them for years, and their training and advice has been absolutely invaluable in getting me through the drama school process. Can't recommend enough!

I met Jimmy during my college studies and they tutored me during my applications to drama school. I can happily report I have just completed my first term at Central School thanks to Jimmy's help!!
