Yana

I'm a tutor, drama teacher, public speaking coach and confidence-builder with over 18 years of experience. I love working with young beginners and seeing them blossom.
I am based in the UK and I work online with both groups and individual students.
I currently offer online lessons in maths, English, drama, creative writing, public speaking, debating and more, as well as online book clubs for kids.

Tutoring Experience

I have successfully taught kids various subjects for over 18 years now and parents keep seeking me out.
I have worked as an actress in a puppet theatre and as a science communicator with the Edinburgh Science Festival. I have also run my own amateur theatre company.

Tutoring Approach

Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than seeing my pupils grow in confidence. Many of the subjects and lessons I teach have been added at the request of parents based on what their children needed. I try to be a friend as well as a teacher - someone kids can be themselves with. I strive to help them achieve good grades but it is even more important to me to help them develop as individuals. My background in both science and theatre helps me find a balance between the practical and the creative, the fun and the serious. I love my job and my students are a constant source of inspiration.
