About Simon
Dear Parent and pupil, I have been the Actor/Director in Residence at Highgate School, North London, for the past two years. I also continue to be a professional actor and director, having worked since the age of sixteen in film and TV productions including EastEnders, Band of Brothers, Casualty and on stage in the West End in The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole and National Theatre in a Mike Leigh play. At Highgate I have created and taken the school drama clubs for years 7&8 and 9&10, directed school productions including Great Expectations and Guys and Dolls, and worked in lessons with GCSE and A Level students in small groups, pairs and one to one on their exam performance group pieces, duologues and monologues. I have also worked with students to prepare their audition techniques for drama school and professional acting roles. I have continued to teach and direct via Zoom during school closure, being incredibly busy with the drama groups, lessons and extension drama sessions as well as transforming school productions from live to being filmed by the students. It has been fantastic to be able to continue to provide creative and fun lessons despite lockdown! I have just broken up for the summer and am available for online or in person tutoring for drama technique sessions or exam tuition, covering the curriculum including improvisation and written text exam components, as well as advancing a pupil's ability and knowledge in drama, theatre and performance skills, such as voice work, physicality and confident delivery of a characterisation or part. I am fully DBS checked and can provide recommendations and references from the Head of Drama at Highgate School. It has been wonderful to use my extensive professional industry experience in many varied aspects of acting and performing to enhance pupils' confidence and ability in their drama studies and performances. If you have students looking to improve and build upon their love, enjoyment and positive experiences of drama and acting please feel free to get in touch. Simon Schatzberger

Recommendations

Simon is an excellent practitioner who has brought his extensive experience of acting and directing to both the drama studio at Highgate School, and in remote lessons during the period of lockdown. Over the last two years he has supported pupils at every level, most notably with GCSE and A Level groups who love his thorough approach to performance. He is thoroughly adept at building confidence in the pupils, enabling them to access characters by giving them the skills to develop their acting. He also has a brilliant sense of humour and understands the importance of play, immediately putting pupils at their ease. Under his careful guidance exam classes have achieved outstanding results and pupils recognise his utter commitment to them and their learning. Hard working, kind and utterly reliable, I recommend Simon to you wholeheartedly.
