I just wanted to say how much Amy is enjoying classes with you, she read her poem to me and I was so impressed with how well she read it, lessons with you have really helped her confidence and I can’t believe what an improvement we are seeing with her reading since she started lessons with you. Thank you for the support you give her it is making a huge difference.

Lorraine has worked wonders with my kids!  She has an innate ability to know and understand each child as an individual and tailors her teaching towards their needs.  Under her careful and meticulous teaching, they have grown in confidence and ability.  Lorraine has an amazing ability to stimulate and motivate children; I never have to ask my children to practise - they always want to do so spontaneously!  Over the years, my children have acquired numerous certificates for different LAMDA exams.  Amazingly, most of them have been awarded distinctions for their performances - I attribute this entirely to Lorraine’s amazing teaching.  The skills that my kids have learnt have helped them enormously at school with GCSEs and A levels when they have had to give presentations but, more importantly, they have also learnt lessons for life as they will go forward into adulthood as confident and effective communicators.

Thank you so much for all you have done for Sophie & Lucy.  Sophie delivered her Head Girl speech at both prize givings with confidence and clarity.  I'm sure this is down to the sessions she had with you.  Both my girls have loved their lessons and they will miss you a lot.

Lorraine 'Mrs Burns' has a unique way of making a pupil feel special and in doing so encourages them to feel confident in themselves. 
 A lesson with Lorraine is much more than speech and drama...  it's a chance for pupils to freely express themselves  without fear of feeling judged  or embarrassed!  Everyone should have a teacher like Mrs Burns.

All my Kids love Lorraine, she has a fantastic way with them,  They look forward to their weekly sessions.  Lorraine has not only given them confidence when speaking in public but also improved their reading skills and pronunciation.

Lorraine has taught my daughter since 2016.  She is excited for every lesson and always achieves a lot in the time she is there.  
She can now recite poetry clearly and confidently transferring these skills into school life.  Lorraine has an amazing relationship with the children and my daughter can ask help, whether it be for school or helping to learn scripts by heart,  Since starting with Lorraine aged 6, she has achieved 3 Distinctions in her LAMDA examinations.
Recently my son has also started lessons who has just turned 6 to help him improve confidence and clarity.  He loves his lessons and thinks it's a treat to go.   A fabulous teacher.

Danny looks forward to his weekly lessons.  You have given him confidence to speak to people and make him feel special.  He's now involved in the school play and got through to the second round in his school Verse Speaking competition.  These are things that he would never have been able to do without guidance from Lorraine.  Thank you so much.

I studied with Lorraine for ten years and they were invaluable for shaping my public confidence and speaking skills today,  I absolutely loved every moment of my lessons with Lorraine as they were always warm, friendly and fun and I learnt so much.  I would highly recommend lessons with Lorraine. If you want to improve your speaking skills or just explore your creative dramatic side!
Thank you Mrs B!

Student 001, the trial run.  The time spent with Lorraine was of the upmost use.  Just recently in university I delivered a presentation where the room was shocked at my public speaking ability, dubbed to be the next Prime Minister but I think I'll leave that one.
