Good luck to all the brilliant students starting at Guildhall School of Music and Drama today...especially George. Such incredible times ahead for you...

After 5 years of unsuccessful attempts, thanks to Tilly I finally won a place at my dream school, Guildhall. Tilly was exactly what I needed, holding me accountable to the bad habits the held me back from my authenticity as a performer. Her honesty is like a hot knife through the buttery bu****it of acting. But she is always compassionate, not once did I ever feel embarrassed, judged, or stupid. Another thing that sets Tilly apart is her ability to offer a path without imposing a specific method. Obviously she guides you with suggestions but sessions are based of your feelings, needs and intuitions on a day to day basis. Tilly deeply understands and respects the interconnectivity between the ‘self’ and the ‘actor’. As a result, not only have I grown as an actor, but also as a human being by confronting insecurities, addressing unhealed creative wounds and re-finding my self-belief. Not only will you find an incredible coach in Tilly, but you will find a friend for life. I cannot express how much I would recommend working with her.
