A few of the testimonials from Katie's students:

‘She is an incredibly intuitive and supportive teacher and uses excellent techniques to help you find your character in a way that feels natural.’

Phoebe Campbell

‘Katie has created an environment encouraging positive engagement and helped me to love the art of Acting. Being relatively new to Acting, she made it easy for me to work with more experienced actors in the group and have immense fun doing so!’

Taherul Khan

'A marvellous class focusing on improvisation led by an experienced actor/teacher. Great for novices to dip their toe into acting in a kind and welcoming environment and great for experienced actors to flex their acting muscles.'

Liam Woon

‘It’s not just an Acting class, it’s a whole new London experience directed by Katie in such a way that everyone is involved in the creative process. So you learn by having a lot of fun and interacting with the group in an exciting and thought provoking way. And you don’t want it to end, like a good story. It’s unique, thank you.’
