Textual analysis and essay writing, finding your love of literature

Von 29.7 € /Std

Textual analysis is a vital skill as a student and a great, life-enriching skill outside of education. But if you don't know how to approach a text properly it can seem daunting and impossible. I really struggled with poetry until I had a teacher who showed me how to break it down, now I love reading poetry and write it myself.

As an actor and English graduate, I have a lot of experience breaking down texts, from books, plays, films (both scripts and finished products), television, and art. I can help you with characters, themes, imagery, language, and context. What I'd really love is to help give you a launching pad to independent exploration so you can find what you love.

Beyond learning how to explore a text, I can help you with essay-writing. Whether you're starting from scratch or need help perfecting a work in progress, we can look at formulating ideas, structuring an argument, expressing your ideas concisely and effectively, and grammar.

Über mich

Hi there,

I'm Ben, I'm a working actor, I trained at Drama Centre on the MA Screen acting course, before that I did my BA in English Literature at Exeter University with a heavy focus on film study. There's nothing I love more than digging in to a text, whether that's as an actor, analysing a script to find all the details to create a compelling performance, or as an academic exploring the themes, imagery, language and context of a text.

Not only is textual analysis vital as an actor or a student, I think it's an invaluable life skill which will deepen your enjoyment of books, poetry, film, TV, music, art and even video games.

I've been lucky to have some amazing teachers who have had profound impacts on me and I'd love to be able to help students and young actors find their voices. Everyone has different things they're struggling with, so I'll work around what you need, I believe learning at it's best, feels like a collaboration.

Monologue workshops for Drama Schools, exams or auditions

30.89 € /Std

Getting in to Drama School is a hard and competitive process, an outside eye and some coaching can go a long way.
I've been through the audition process a few time before getting in to Drama Centre on the MA Screen Acting course so I'm very familiar with how the process works and what they're looking for.
We'll work on picking good monologues, textual analysis, character creation and performance to give you the best chance at getting in to your dream school.

This is all applicable to acting grades like LAMDA or Trinity or performance for school.

I offer an approach to writing that goes beyond the basic technical details. This is because when it comes to writing, I believe the personal is the most important. By talking to you about your experience of writing, I will help you realize your project to its fullest creative potential. Questions about your project will include: How do you plan it? What goes through your head when you sit down to start? What role does re-reading and editing play in your writing process? Opening up this space for exploration will allow you to then insert the appropriate technical details. In addition, if English is a foreign language, my ESL-teaching background should let us find the right language solutions when necessary.

I offer help with: Essays, Manuscripts, Poetry, Non-fiction/Prose, and Marketing Content.

I'm a graduate student of clinical psychology, have studied and tutored at multiple international universities, while on the other hand working with small editing and publication groups in NYC and Berlin, as well as recently putting out my own book of poems.
