Rosie's friendly, fun and engaging

“I sought Rosie’s help while preparing for public speaking and reading excerpts of my book. Her knowledge and experience meant she was able to tailor our sessions to my specific needs, and I was able to see improvements in my speaking by the end of session one.

She gave me homework assignments that were both fun and useful and I was ecstatic at the progress I could hear in my audio samples as I practiced.

We worked via Zoom which I thought might be a hurdle but it was like learning with a friend and I repeatedly forgot we were actually in a teaching session.

She’s friendly, fun and engaging, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

Richard Hall, Writer

Warm & supportive approach

I would DEFINITELY recommend Rosie’s teaching. She was so helpful, informative and provided so much detail. She was very warm, engaging and also made it fun!

You could ask any question and her feedback was concise and supportive. I would highly recommend! “
