About Verity
Hello, my name is Verity. I graduated from RADA in 2013. Since then, I have worked across the UK in Shakespeare, modern plays, musicals, and radio. I have been a tutor for many years, and my main goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where students can flourish—regardless of their background. I have eight years experience working with neurodivergent individuals, which has made me highly adept at adapting to diverse learning styles. I strive to support and celebrate each student’s individuality.

As a young person auditioning for drama school, I was lucky enough to have a teacher who truly supported me. She didn’t just care about how I moved on one line or how I articulated a particular phrase of Shakespeare—she wanted me to feel safe, confident, and powerful when I walked into the room, like I had something valuable to offer. That sense of empowerment is something I strive to impart to my own students.
A typical lesson with me:
-I normally start with a catch-up!
- We then do a brief vocal and physical warm-up, which I adapt to suit your abilities and comfort level.
- Exploring the text: This can be a varied experience. I love working with different texts and pieces, and finding what suits each student best. I will never tell you which speech to select, I aim to support you in finding one that resonates with you.
- Once a piece is selected, I encourage all my students to read and understand as much as possible about their chosen piece or play. We may begin by exploring necessary context (e.g. historical background, the writer’s intentions, etc.).
- We then move on to more practical work: putting the piece on its feet, exploring vocal choices, accessing emotions, and preparing the piece for an audience.
- We’ll discuss subtext, objectives, and how to access the breadth of your imagination.
- General exam/audition confidence: Auditioning is nerve-wracking—which can feel scary. But it’s also nerve-wracking because you’re doing something you’re passionate about, which I always try to remind my students. Excitement and nerves are very linked!
I strive to make my students feel as secure as possible before they walk into the room. I can work with you on:
- LAMDA exams
- Drama school entrance exams
- Working with Shakespeare and other classical texts
- Audition techniques
- Self-tapes.
- Public speaking.
I can work via Zoom/Google Meet/Skype.

I cannot recommend Verity highly enough!Verity has helped me so much during the very overwhelming process of applying for drama schools both in person and via Zoom. From selecting the right monologue to getting the whole Shakespeare thing right, Verity's knowledge and professional attitude show why she got into RADA at such a young age and still to this day mentors new students there. I can wholeheartedly recommend Verity to new and even season actors.
Verity is an exceptional acting tutor – kind, professional, and incredibly talented. Her deep knowledge of the industry is second to none, and she brings a wealth of experience and insight to every session. What truly sets Verity apart is the way she works with you as an individual. She takes the time to understand your strengths, challenges, and goals, and tailors her approach to bring out the very best in you. Working with her has been inspiring, empowering, and transformative. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Verity has tutored my daughter through three LAMDA exams and it has been an amazing experience for both of us. Each time a distinction was achieved. Verity has a keen interest in helping the student understand the piece, the really embrace the characters and she provides additional discussions to get the student fully into character. She does this by asking the student for their input, thoughts and ideas. The student is then able to bring their own unique energy and ideas to make the piece they are performing more interesting and enjoyable to the audience.
Verity is kind, thoughtful, hardworking, knowledgeable and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She also possess the ability to make the actor feel seen. I highly recommend Verity as a tutor who is reliable, confident and engaging.Verity has been a fantastic acting mentor to me over the years. She is reliable and professional as well as being very kind and encouraging. As an extremely talented actor herself she has a wealth of experience working with lots of different genres and texts from Shakespeare to musical theatre! I would highly recommend verity!
