OUR STORY
A word from the founder Georgina Hart
"Throughout school my report card included Attendance- A, Quality of Work- A, Communication in Class- C. With the comment that I was intelligent, capable but quiet in class. We use the framework and syllabus developed by The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Tutoring in Public Speaking, Verse and Prose and Acting as a tool for progressing confidence in front of a crowd to ensure that no child feels left out or left behind, as I did.One aspect growing up that really helped me to develop my voice was the Arts. It was through Acting that I learn't the core skills in communication. I was able to learn how to empathise with others thoughts, feelings and ideas which helped shape a more confident future.In 2018 I opened the London LAMDA Studio. At that point we were situated in Mill Hill and I had 6 lovely students. (All of which are Alumni or are completing their studies with us to this day!) I had opened the studio as I wanted to be able to tutor a little differently. I had seen that group lessons and rushed exams weren't benefitting the individual progress of students and there wasn't the time to add or apply the life skills that LAMDA helps to develop. Our classes always tend to begin with a short catch-up about the week, not only to build rapport but to also allow the students to practice conversation skills with someone familiar.
Soon 'lockdown' was upon us, the studio had grown to 25 fantastic students and we switched to online lessons AND EXAMS. I will forever be astonished at the ease in which the students made changes for online LAMDA. They definitely helped keep ME sane!Online lessons have now become incredibly practical, it has meant that the studio has been able to take on students from all over the world including Dubai, Shanghai and Milan! Parents are no longer having to battle with the traffic, and tutors are able to use A TONNE of resources ranging from an online library of monologues to TED Talks and Explainer Videos.Now in 2024 we have grown to over 70 students split between 3 tutors and my focus has been able to shift to creating more opportunities for the future. This year I hosted my own TEDx Youth event specifically designed to give a platform to young public speakers. Looking forward into 2025 I will be re-hosting a TEDx Youth event as well as continually growing our community and striving to create more opportunities for student growth.

No consumption of food or chewing of gum in lessons.For the health and safety of students please refrain from encouraging them to finish dinners or be snacking whilst in lessons. We understand that many of our students are very busy with extracurricular activities but, as our lessons require speaking practice, food becomes a choking hazard.2. Students must be stationary and have sufficient space to stand and move within. When standing we must be able to see the student from head-to-toe.Tutors will have the authority to refuse the student and end the lesson with immediate effect should it be noticed that a learner is taking their lesson from a car or moving vehicle. This will be considered a breach of our code of conduct and the session will not be refunded or rescheduled.3. Students must be fully and respectfully clothed.Please ensure students refrain from attending lessons in Pyjamas or similar. You wouldn’t want us teaching in our bed-clothes!4. Students must not be over 15 minutes late to lessons.Please let us know if you are running late. All tutors will endeavour to contact parents 5 minutes into the lesson if we have not received any prior notification of absence. Upon there being no response and after 15 minutes has passed, tutors are allowed to log off of Zoom or deny entry into the Zoom session. This will be considered a breach of our code of conduct and the session will not be refunded or rescheduled.5. Homework should be completed week-to-week and to the best of the students ability.Following two weeks without completed homework you will receive a reminder from Lead Tutor Georgina.
