Students will explore, learn and present poems and texts. They will learn how to lift text off the page and breathe life into it for an audience.
They will engage imaginatively with a range of authors and poets and develop their voice, diction and posture.
The knowledge section of these exams enables students to understand how writers use language to convey thoughts, how to use their voice, how to meet the demands of speaking text and engage an audience.
Studying LAMDA with Liane has been a magical experience and my child has had a fun filled time in both learning the course material as well as preparing for the exam. More importantly, it has given her the tools and confidence to speak and communicate more effectively, a skill which will help her throughout her life.

Which exam is right for my child?
I empower my students by giving them the choice of the exam they wish to study.
In the initial lesson, I will offer your child a taste of the main LAMDA exams (Acting, Speaking Verse and Prose and Speaking in Public) and gauge which of them sparks your child’s interest the most.
If your child has taken a LAMDA exam before and they’re keen to progress to the next grade of the same exam, then I will assess them for the next grade up.
Giving students the freedom to choose their exam gives them full ownership over their work. It motivates them to complete any exercises they need to practice in between lessons and it is an important first step as we begin to grow their confidence and self belief.
Whichever exam your child decides to work towards, each is a different route to the same destination. That is – improved public speaking skills and an increase in confidence. LAMDA’s exams enable students to develop a powerful presence to captivate and build rapport with any audience or anyone now and in their future lives.
