About Iona
I come from a tiny village in North East Scotland where the arts can sometimes feel like something of a faraway land. It was my incredible village Drama Teacher that encouraged me to take a big leap at the age of 17 and move down to London where I was accepted into Drama School. I would absolutely love to do the same for someone else. As a child, I suffered with my confidence and it has taken a lot of work to get to where I am today. I'm incredibly passionate about boosting both children's, teens and adults' confidence.. in fact I'm even in the process of making a Short Film about it. Since Drama School I have worked across the entertainment industry most notably in TV for Disney, BBC and ITV. When in between Acting jobs I love Nannying - I feel part of many an extended family - always encouraging imaginative play and creativity. I now have 5+ years experience working with children. Trust and honesty are incredibly important to me, the industry can often feel unsettling and unpredictable and I'm here for whatever support you need!

I know that auditioning can be incredibly daunting, for me it's important to approach the work with warmth and light-heartedness. In order to get the best work out of a student, they must feel supported and at ease. I make it my job to help the student feel the most relaxed they possibly can when approaching unfamiliar territory. It's important for students to feel they can share whatever their concern is whether that be - what should I wear on the day? or what Laban Effort is the character operating in!? My lessons are for all ages, starting at £30 per hour. I graduated with a First in BA (HONS) Acting at Drama Centre London, where we specialised in a unique pedagogy called "Character Analysis" - I will bring elements of this to my teaching as well as Laban, voice, and text technique. I'm incredibly adaptable and hope to help you feel supported, prepared and excited for the journey ahead!

Perfect! Iona immediately put me at ease. Fantastic! A freeing, adaptive teaching approach to uncover ways to maximize my learning!
- Chika was incredibly open and upfront about where she is with Acting. She was able to share with me both her short term and long term goals which means we could put a plan of action in place. I'm very much looking forward to my next session with Chika!Iona's response :

Iona did an amazing job of teaching me character analysis and how Jungian principles and Laban efforts can be integrated into any piece of text, as well as the marrying of the voice and the spine through weight principles
Iona is an exceptional acting tutor and coach who truly creates a safe, inspiring space for creativity to thrive. During my many self tape audition sessions with her, she consistently approached each take with an instinctual and intelligent eye, spotting nuances, offering thoughtful adjustments, and always knowing how to draw out the most honest, compelling version of my performance.
She has a rare ability to balance professional rigor with genuine warmth, which makes working with her both productive and deeply enjoyable. Whether you are preparing for auditions, developing a character, or building foundational acting technique, Iona brings clarity, encouragement, and a deep understanding of the craft. Her feedback is precise yet supportive, helping you grow without ever feeling pressured or self conscious.
Iona is the kind of tutor who meets you exactly where you are and elevates you from there. I have become a more confident, grounded, and expressive actor because of her guidance. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone seeking coaching or acting tuition.Iona is a fantastic tutor. She is reliable, friendly and incredibly kind. Having worked professionally in the industry she has incredibly unique and in depth knowledge and experience. She treats every student like a professional, making sure they feel comfortable and supported. She has coached me before many interviews and auditions, and I always leave feeling ready and confident. I wouldn’t have been able to get the jobs I did without Iona.
