From Nervous to Natural: Public Speaking and Communication Training

A partir de 115.67 $ /h

I equip you with the tools to speak confidently and perform at your best under pressure.

I draw on a twenty year career as a professional actor, working with some of the world's most celebrated voice coaches and directors, along with a second career in the extremely time-sensitive pressures of live television broadcasting.

Four years ago, I joined the coaching team at renowned comms specialists, Laughton Scott. This allowed me to fuse my acting craft and corporate experience to help people find their true voices and shine their light onto the world.

"I have learnt so much about how to improve my communication skills with Rainer." James Linley - General Manager Performance Planning GTS Elizabeth Line

"Your warmth, knowledge and expertise in communication will help me immeasurably in the future." Gary Nicholson - Integrated Client Director - Euston Partnership

My coaching uses practical techniques to put you in control of your delivery, so if you need help tweaking a town hall speech, crafting a corporate proposition or beating those best man nerves, I can help.

Specialist topics we can focus on:
Vocal skills
Body language
Breath work.

All sessions are fully interactive and individually tailored.

Audition Technique and coaching for Drama school entry: Drama coach / Self tape help

99.14 $ /h

If you're new to auditioning it can be a daunting prospect. The first time I auditioned for drama school I was completely unaware of what to expect. I didn't know anyone who had been and didn't get any help with speeches or songs. It was a disaster and I was thrown out after the first round. Two years later, I reapplied fully prepared this time, and won a scholarship on the three year acting course at Mountview Theatre School.

I can help with all aspects of the acting audition process:
Vocal/physical warm up
Managing nerves
Making sure your speeches suit you
Working on the text: Understanding - intention - intrepretation - and working towards the required standard for success
What to expect at your audition
Recreating a pressure environment; The dreaded panel, the waiting and staying calm under pressure

I have over twenty years experience as a professional actor, and auditioned hundreds of times across all formats.
I have appeared extensively in the West End and toured across the world, as well as being in over 40 TV commercials.
As a tutor/director I have worked at Arts Ed, Mountview, Ravenscourt Theatre School.

'Rainer was instrumental in helping me win a place at LAMDA.' Daisy Redgate - LAMDA student.
Thea got into ArtsEd! Thanks so much Rainer for all your patience and hard work!' Parents of ArtsEd student Thea Bacon.

I'm also here for the pros too.

If you need a sounding board/ line reader for a TV/Film audition
Deciphering Commercials breakdowns to help you stand out
Constructive feedback

For all levels, for both children and adults, and diploma preparation.
All aspects of the language would be targeted during the lessons, emphasizing those desired by the student (ex: conversational, grammar)

Depending on the level and the method of study will be adapted to each student, with outside-of-class follow up. The classes will be conducted in either English, French, or both, once again depending on the needs and the level of the student.
Classes focused on the reinforcement of the language can also be organised, focused on specific topics that the student is interested in, which will allow the student not to lose the language and to develop further their knowledge of lexicon in the specific area.

In what concerns diploma preparation, the lessons will focus on the particularities of the tests (timing, response format, lexicon, etc).

I truly think learning Spanish has to be enjoyable and challenging (positively) and my aim is to create a fun and positive learning environment in which you can really thrive, feel confident and tranquilo.

I like to approach my students to grammar structures and cultural comprehension of the language by a variety of methods and sources such as images, videos, interviews, audios, etc. and adjust exercises of reading, listening and conversation to topics related to their particular interests and personal motivations.

Languages are becoming more and more essential to solidify a good understanding and communication of this world’s constant change. Therefore, Spanish, being one of the most popular language, becomes an important tool. In order to speak it, the class is composed by grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Depending on the time and frequency, the student will be be able to articulate thoughts and write them.
It is vital that the language is spoken, hence, depending on the student’s level, the class will be provided in Spanish and English (swapping when necessary).

Hi! I am a native Spanish student spending his last year of a dual BA in London. As a lover of my language with acquired experience on the field of teaching, I would love to be your new Spanish tutor!

From beginners until fluent speakers, I am glad to share my mother tongue with you. In my course, you will find personalised content depending on who you are. In fact, I always do my best to adapt the lessons to my students' own hobbies and interests. My objective is to make Spanish a complement of your their life, not something "different" or distant. I want you to see this language as an ally that will open you a universe of professional, social and cultural possibilities during your life. Even if I come from Spain, I will gladly focus in any of the Spanish speaking cultures that may interest you the most, if this is what you wish. As a matter of fact, I did a two years degree in Latin American studies. Thus, I acquired a deep knowledge on every country between Mexico and Chile!

I search for students who are motivated by the language and believe that learning Spanish can be a great experience for their lives. Don't worry about the starting point, what matters is the distance that can be made from it.

Hasta pronto! See you soon!

I have five years of experience as a French tutor with young teenagers and adult, from France and from abroad. My students would say about me that I am kind, patient, dedicating but demanding. You'll have to practice seriously but I'll make sure not make you feel overwhelmed.

You'll learn to speak, read and understand the French, and will have the opportunity to dive into the French culture and literature. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry you'll soon be able to speak fluently.

I remember my English lessons as my favourite ones at school. I cherished all my teachers, who shared their love for this delightful language with their students. Their smiles, their passion, kindness and pacience made them the ideal professionals. Today, I'm a teacher and my wish is to be as great as they were with me and to share the love I feel for English with my future students.
I'm very fortunate to say that I've been teaching for 5 years and I have students from the age of 8 to 70 and with different levels.During this time I've had lots of fun while working and now I look back and see a suitcase full of loving memories.
Welcome!

After my first year at Durham university receiving a 2:1 I wanted to improve my Spanish for second year and found Ananda.I cannot recommend her services enough! She personalised the lessons to my specific needs, particularly focusing on oral practice which I found the most challenging (scoring 66% in my first year). She not only improved my level of Spanish, but also increased my confidence with the language. Thanks to all her help and expertise I got a 1st in Spanish, scoring 74% in the oral exam and 75% in the written paper!

Ananda has tutored my son Myles for the past 2 years ahead of his IGCSE EDexcel exam in June 2023. Spanish was by far his weakest subject as school and he was struggling with motivation. He has a diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Ananda has consistently encouraged Myles, working alongside him at his pace and has given him a very thorough understanding of the language which he is now able to use with confidence. Her support has been invaluable, she has consistently been available for all the lessons and very flexible with any impromptu rescheduling. She has offered additional lessons in preparation ahead of specific exams such as the aural or listening papers. Today Myles has received a high Grade 8 in his exam, missing out on a 9 by only 1 mark. This seemed absolutely inconceivable at this point last year. Huge big thank you to Ananda - I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Ananda helped me to prepare for an interview for a job in Buenos Aires, after I had not spoken Spanish for about three years. She was helpful, thorough and really careful to tailor the session to my individual needs and to the job. We prepared for all kinds of questions they might ask and all areas I might need to be capable of discussing. I felt confident going into the interview and I got the job! She is a fantastic Spanish tutor and definitely could not have done it without her. Thanks!!

REFERENCE LETTER 1
Dear sir/madam,
Ananda has taught two of my daughters and is an outstanding teacher. She helped my eldest daughter achieve an A* in her Edexcel GCSE Spanish and hopefully will do the same with my middle daughter.
She has a lovely approach - very friendly, is easy to relate to and is thorough in her teaching. My middle daughter has already sat her IGCSE Spanish oral exam and said she felt very prepared by Ananda.
I have asked Ananda to tutor me to A level and also my youngest daughter in a year.
Without doubt I would recommend Ananda to any one wanting to get good results and having fun in the process.

Kind regards,
Sarah

REFERENCE LETTER 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
Ananda has been tutoring my 15 year old in AQUA GCSE Spanish and got the highest grade A* (9). My daughter is very proud and all the family really glad and grateful to Ananda. She is professional, flexible, creative and very pleasant. My daughter was looking forward to her lessons every week. Ananda has taken the time to find out my daughter’s interests and helped Annie to learn real Spanish language.. She has also taken time to talk to me as the parent to find out my goals for my daughter. I would recommend Ananda as a Spanish tutor to everyone!

Kind regards
Maria

REFERENCE LETTER 3
Dear sir/madam,
Ananda taught my daughter Spanish for her A-levels. My daughter started her A-levels with grade D and finished it with grade A*. I think this says it all about Ananda's ability as a teacher to support her students and push them to achieve their potential.
Ananda is a very dedicated Spanish teacher to her students, explaining things in great depth and in a simple way which is easy to understand. She provides very useful resources and creates exercises which will help you improve your fluency. As well as being a great teacher, she will also endlessly support you through your journey, being a constant positive guide. Ananda is a great Spanish teacher. She is very dedicated and works so hard for her students. She helped my daughter to improve her Spanish enormously to the extent that her school teacher was referencing her as an exemplar student. Ananda also helped to boost my daughter’s confidence and self-belief. I highly recommend Ananda and we will definitely miss her.

Best wishes,
May

REFERENCE LETTER 4

REFERENCE LETTER 5
To whom it may concern,

We all thank her very much for her help as she was ready and willing to step in at the last minute to assist with our final exam preparation.

Best wishes

The best way to learn a foreign language is to use it in real life, like when you travel or live in a foreign country.
As a native Spanish speaker, I offer you the opportunity to have conversations on all kinds of topics where you can feel comfortable, practise and improve your Spanish.

I can also recommend books and exercises to practise and even correct.
