Testimonial

‘Duncan has been a brilliant drama coach for our daughter. But more than performance skills and LAMDA qualifications that have marked her technical progress, he has given her confidence, self-belief and a sense of achievement. She genuinely looks forward to her lessons with Duncan because he builds a real rapport with his students and makes lessons as much fun as learning experiences. We wouldn’t be without him.’

– Anita Gordon MacIntosh – Parent of Ex-Pupil at Saint Christina’s School, St John’s Wood, London
