Alasdair B
Tutor in Sands End, South West London

I am a professional actor living in West London. I have a number of West End and regional credits on stage and have appeared on film and television. In between acting jobs I enjoy teaching maths and English at Explore Learning and comedy and drama at the Pauline Quirke Academy.

I was a student at Charterhouse for five years before becoming an actor. There I developed a love for literature and language which I enjoy passing onto younger generations. Close textual analysis and new writing are of special interest to me and garnered me the highest grades throughout my school career.

I also am able to offer personal tuition in English and Drama at a number of levels. I attended the internationally-renowned Bristol Old Vic Theatre School which is one of only three drama schools in the country (along with RADA and LAMDA) to be a member of the Conservatoire of Dance and Drama. I have worked extensively with classical texts but also with new work and musicals. I am happy to help people prepare for drama school auditions and have sat on the audition panel of my alma mater several times. I have a extensive knowledge of world drama (with a particular passion for modern Irish work) and practitioners as well as the history of theatre and am therefore ideally suited to tutoring drama and theatre studies as an academic subject.
