Tutoring Approach

'I would strongly recommend Joel. His approach to coaching is kind, courageous and creative. I have learnt so much from him and owe him for my success in auditions this year I'm sure. His sessions were engaging and encouraging which was difficult to achieve in a global pandemic. I felt genuinely heard and cared for throughout the training process. Joel helped me find my voice whilst performing as well as when I'm not. I am a more confident performer thanks to his coaching.' - Thalia (Italia Conti student).
