Testimonials

My children attend the Saturday Drama class and Lamda on Mondays. I am overwhelmed by everything that Nichola has given my children; confidence, fun and most importantly belief in themselves. I have seen a noticeable change in both children and although very different personalities, I feel Nichola has been instrumental to these positive changes. They look forward to the weekly sessions and are both excited to perform in the upcoming production of James and the Giant Peach.

To all those prospective parents (and their children) we couldn’t recommend Nichola’s drama session and teaching enough! She makes every session fun and we love the fact that there is a performance at the end of the term that we can all enjoy. She has a great ability to cast the right person to the right part… sometimes challenging but always getting the best out of the kids. Ben’s loved it.. and my 4 year old is champing at the bit to start in September!

NRYA and LAMDA has helped me hugely to progress not only as an actor but also as a person. The huge amount of support Nichola has given to me and the close friendships I have made throughout the years have helped me to gain a surge of confidence that I never had before. I am truly grateful for the opportunities both have given me and am hoping to pursue acting as a career in the future!

My son Liam has been attending the NRYA for almost 5 years. We looked in to many different drama and performance arts classes but instantly knew that the NRYA and Nichola would give my son a great balance between having fun and developing his artistic and creative skills. Nichola is passionate about what she does and totally committed to bringing out the best in each and every one of her students. My son has grown in confidence, developed new skills but also learnt a lot about team-work, co-operation and commitment since being a part of the NRYA. I am hugely grateful to the positive influence Nichola has been on my son, for believing in him and for the wonderful opportunities she has provided.

“Lois and Gerrard have been part of both drama and public speaking sessions at NRYA for a considerable time now. As parents, it did not take long for us to notice that remarkable change in their presentation skills and confidence. This has been confirmed by their respective class teachers in their primary school. The kids have fun as well and look forward to attending their weekly sessions and the big theatre stage at the end of the year. Nichola’s expertise in child psychology brings out the best in them in a taylored approach. As a result they are more independent, more organised, confident wherever they go. This tremendous change has inspired some friends to enroll their children as well. I will certainly recommend NRYA to every child”
