Meet Our UK Teachers

Let me now introduce our UK team who will be there online to teach the LAMDA exam programme.

"Our greatest measure of success is our students and the biggest compliment of all is when they return to us as working actors to help other as online tutors."

Hannah Baxter-Eve

Hannah trained at the Guildford School of Acting for three years specialising in classical and modern text, physical theatre, and acting for the camera. She has since secured professional roles in Theatre and TV with extensive knowledge in audition technique. Hannah loves working with passionate young people to help them develop their skills and reach their goals. Hannah did her Grade 8 LAMDA qualification and her audition speech with Julia from Dramaworks. She achieved a distinction and earned her place at Guildford!

Dexter Cozens

Dexter Cozens, found his excitement for acting whilst studying at Chichester college in 2012. He went on to do a third year at Chichester college studying a HNC level 4 in performing arts. At this point, he also taught a junior drama class and assisted in other classes on Saturdays at Dramaworks. After finishing his HNC, he stayed on at Dramaworks and worked there for 3 years. During this time Dramaworks helped him achieve a distinction, for LAMDA level 3 Acting, Grade 7 Solo Silver medal and a merit for LAMDA level 3 Acting Grade 8 Solo Gold medal. 

He gained a place at Falmouth University to study for a BA Hons in Acting and graduated with a 2:1 honours. He is now back at Dramaworks and he is hoping to inspire confidence in young people in the same way performance and Dramaworks helped him become a professional actor and teacher.
 

Jonny Finn

Jonny Finn has been involved in acting since he was five years old. From working with Performing4U, training for LAMDA grades six and eight with Dramaworks and going on to become a member of the Archway Theatre Company, Jonny has recently graduated with a BA in Acting from AMATA. Now working in the field as a professional actor, he’s thrilled to be back at Dramaworks once again.

Academic and performance qualifications


Drama online workshop courses that run after school and on Saturdays, lead to certificates from the esteemed London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. These qualifications are international and have academic weight. Due to the new LAMDA syllabus, the UCAS points have changed (see below) however, students can now earn additional points by undertaking communication exams as well as performance exams.

We also offer duologue exams too so you can work with a friend online and at home or school!
