Confidence. Communication. Creative Thinking
Drama Studies
From scripts to staging, we help you perform, write and analyse with confidence
Drama is one of the best subjects for building confidence, independence and proper analytical brainpower.
At Curious, we support GCSE and A Level Drama students with the perfect mix of actor-brain, teacher-brain and overgrown-child energy, so learning feels manageable, human and enjoyable.
GCSE Drama Studies
Find your voice. Build confidence. Understand people
(And we’ll help with the written bits too)
Master the written paper and bring characters to life
Online or 1-1 support for home-ed and school students
GCSE Drama is a brilliant blend of:
- Performing
- Devising
- Analysing texts
- Writing about live theatre
- Understanding how people think & feel
It’s practical and academic, ideal for thinkers, creatives, anxious students, home-ed learners and kids who learn best by doing, not memorising.
How Curious helps
I bring half actor-brain, half teacher-brain, and half kid-at-heart brain –I know the maths doesn’t work, but the lessons do.
Students get:
- Support with devising & scripted performance (even online)
- Clear, friendly guidance on set texts & practitioners
- Coursework help that actually makes sense
- Essay structure & exam technique
- Confidence coaching for practical assessments
- Visual resources, mini-films, creative worksheets
How it works
- Weekly 60-minute session (1:1 or small group)
- Qualified Drama teacher
- Regular feedback for parents and students
- Perfect for anxious, neurodiverse or home-educated learners
Why it works
I translate examiner jargon into normal human language
Add humour, structure and imaginative thinking, and suddenly everything clicks
Everyone progresses.

Creative coaching for coursework devising and essays
A Level Drama Studies goes bigger: bigger texts, bigger ideas, real theatre-making
My online lessons help students explore Drama like practitioners:
be analytical, be daring, be confident, be productive
What I help with
- Devising & performance coursework
- Log-book writing & interpretation
- Practitioner theory made simple (Brecht doesn’t have to be difficult)
- Essay planning & exam technique
- Performance feedback via video or live online sessions

- Flexible for home-ed or school students
- Booklets, example essays, digital resources, mini-videos
- Support for AQA, Edexcel, OCR & WJEC
Why Curious is different
Most tutors focus only on the written exam. I teach both performance and theory and show students how the two feed each other. With my background as an RSC actor, writer, director and Head of Creative Arts, students learn to approach texts like real theatre-makers… and suddenly their essays stop sounding like they’re guessing.
