About Us
Teachers and Opportunities:
The Art of Teaching
Our teachers are the life blood of GrammaticArts, and are carefully selected based on their background, education and training, and above all on their ability to teach. We employ both qualified teachers and actors and musicians who undergo teacher training in ‘The Art of Teaching’, including giving explanations and differentiation. We aim to nurture not only our students’ potential, but to provide continual professional development opportunities for our staff. Happy teachers mean happy students!
With our ethos of praise and constructive feedback, we select teachers that are able to build a great rapport with our students. Teaching is about what the students are learning, how to develop students’ strengths, and how to nurture potential. All GrammaticArts teachers receive a structured syllabus, and are then given the freedom to teach each course based on their knowledge and expertise. We believe that teaching is an art, requiring dedication, skill and most of all the passion to pass on subject knowledge and experience.
We recruit teachers for company courses, team building days and one-to-one tuition. For teaching opportunities please email hello@grammaticarts.com outlining your experience and creative passions.
Admin Staff
GrammaticArts has a small admin team who work remotely, handling everything from student enquiries, transposing backing tracks to ordering tshirts. Please email hello@grammaticarts.com or claire@grammaticarts.com for all admin-related enquiries
Our Philosophy
The Performing Arts are invaluable tools for developing communication and interpersonal skills, both for business and for life. As children we learn our native language through Drama and Music: singing songs, playing games, dancing, and using imagination through roleplay. At GrammaticArts we believe Drama and Music are integral to developing an optimum level of expression at any age.
Our qualified and experienced teachers unite Communication Skills training with the Performing Arts: GrammaticArts, to ensure an enjoyable, stimulating and therefore effective learning experience.
Our courses combine the five learning styles, using visual, kinaesthetic (active), auditory (listening) and tactile (hands-on) activities to maximise learning and cater to our students’ individual needs.
We believe that communication skills and a solid grasp of language are essential to having the best life and career possible.
Whether you are a Performing Arts student of any age, a business professional or an international student, GrammaticArts can help.
The importance of Drama in education
Active Environment
Enjoyable active learning means you let go of your inhibitions, and therefore are more receptive. Drama gives you an outlet to express yourself vocally, physically and emotionally
Muscle Memory
Physicalising words and text reinforces them by association
Vocal Clarity and Dexterity
Drama helps you use the different resonators of your voice, as you step into characters and explore different emotions. Reading text aloud encourages more varied intonation, and increases visual learning
Collaboration
Drama is about the other person, so you can develop skills in teamwork, empathy, listening and the acceptance of others, breaking cross-cultural boundaries. It also encourages the sharing of ideas and vocabulary
Personal Skills
Drama develops confidence and self esteem, including skills in leadership, responsibility, self awareness and self acceptance, developing your confidence in your own voice. It also improves organisation, focus, discipline, decision making, presentation skills and spontaneity. Above all Drama develops communication skills, clarity of expression and the imagination, which are transferrable to both life and work.
The importance of Music in education
Pronunciation
Singing a song helps you learn both the rhythm of words and word stresses
Memory
Songs contain repetition; therefore learning words to music reinforces learning
Confidence
Singing in a foreign language encourages fluency and makes you less inhibited, as you focus on rhythm
Vocabulary
Singing helps you increase your vocabulary, including colloquial English and idioms
Grammar
Songs help you learn word order and grammar more naturally than studying them in a text book
