About Alasdair
I am a professional actor living in West London. I am currently on hiatus from the UK tour of Stephen Daldry's seminal production of 'An Inspector Calls' in which I play Gerald Croft.
For the duration of Winter 2018 I worked as the acting Head of Drama at Charterhouse teaching A & AS Level Theatre Studies.
Twelve years ago I was a student there, 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 have three years of experience as a private tutor in English Language and Literature at GCSE, AS and A Level as well as preparing students for Common Entrance. My students have always achieved high grades and, I am led to believe, enjoy the classes.
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.
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 English, Drama and Elocution and am also a comedy and drama teacher at the Pauline Quirke Academy.

Alasdair tutored my son for the 10+ English exam and he did a brilliant job. My son hates English yet he really enjoyed his sessions with Alasdair! He came on leaps and bounds within just a few sessions and has been inspired to read more. I am very grateful.
