About Mathilda
I'm Mathilda (Tilly) Heenehan — a trained actress and singer with a background in both London and New York, having studied at Arts Educational Schools and The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Alongside my work as a performer, I’m an experienced drama teacher, passionate about helping students of all ages and abilities grow in confidence and skill. My students have consistently achieved a 100% pass rate in their LAMDA exams, with many receiving high distinctions.
In addition to teaching drama, I’m also a spiritual teacher and energy healer. I work with a wide range of people, and specialise in supporting those who are neurodivergent, using a blend of practical tools and supportive modalities tailored to each individual's unique needs. My approach isn’t just about performing - it's about building confidence from the inside out. You’ll learn how to manage anxiety and stress, feel more grounded, and develop techniques like breathwork and embodied presence to support both your public speaking and everyday life.
I’m also a world traveller, working remotely as I visit and support sacred sites and lands across the globe. All my sessions are conducted online, offering flexibility around school schedules and holidays - something that works beautifully for many of my students and their families.

LAMDA Examinations are designed to equip students of all ages and aspirations with lifelong skills. Through graded exams in Acting (solo or duologue), Verse and Prose, and Shakespeare, students develop not only their performance abilities but also essential communication and confidence skills. LAMDA follows an eight-grade structure and is part of the National Qualifications Framework. Level 3 qualifications even contribute UCAS points, making them a valuable asset for those considering higher education.
Preparing for a LAMDA exam can:
Unlock the imagination
Nurture natural abilities
Improve reading fluency and comprehension
Expand vocabulary and self-expression
Develop drama and vocal techniques used in further training
Enhance memory and communication skills
Build confidence and self-esteem
Provide a recognised record of personal achievement
I’ve had the pleasure of guiding many students through their LAMDA journeys, with a strong track record of Distinctions across all grades.
Lessons are available in 30- or 45-minute weekly sessions, typically following the school term. In the first term, we focus on building core skills using a variety of materials and techniques - including poems, tongue twisters, breathing exercises, meditation, concentration games, warm-ups, monologues, and duologues. In the second term, we begin preparation for the exam itself, working steadily over two terms to ensure students feel confident, prepared, and ready to succeed.

I have known Mathilda for three years and have consistently been impressed by her skills as a facilitator and communicator. She brings depth of wisdom, professionalism, and genuine care to her work. Her extensive training and life experience provide significant value to those she supports. I highly recommend collaborating with Mathilda.
My 10-year-old daughter has been learning LAMDA with Mathilda for two years now, and the transformation has been remarkable. When she first started, she was rather shy and uncertain, but under Mathilda’s gentle and professional guidance, she has grown into a confident young performer.
Her clarity of speech, stage presence, and expressiveness have improved tremendously — so much so that she was recently cast in a local theatre’s Christmas pantomime, which was such a proud moment for her (and for us!).
Mathilda is a truly outstanding teacher — warm, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at bringing out each child’s individuality and strengths. She not only teaches performance techniques but also helps her students believe in themselves. We feel very lucky to have found her.Mathilda is a very experienced Lamda coach and always receives excellent results for her Lamda students.( Latest results all Distinctions for Acting and Verse and Prose exams.)
I would highly recommend her as a tutor, as she shares her passion for performing and makes her students feel fully prepared and confident whilst also thoroughly enjoying the experience.Mathilda has been teaching my 10 year old daughter for over a year. She has a very holistic approach and uses various methods which are broad and encompassing. My daughter absolutely loves her lessons and has made rapid progress. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.
Fantastic acting teacher! I have also used Mathilda for Reiki treatments and she’s also incorporated her spiritual coaching in her lessons to help guide me to acknowledge what it feels like to be grounded whilst performing. I have no only gained more confidence with my performing but I have also been given the ability to cope better with anxiety in every day life. I am so thankful for Mathilda’s hard work & dedication.
Mathilda has worked with my 9 year old so wonderfully. She is incredibly empathetic and has a very natural intuitive ability which I could really see she used to work on his individual needs. He has grown so much in the 6 months they have worked together and I’ve seen such an improvement in his confidence. Not only is she a fantastic teacher but she’s also incredibly talented herself at acting & singing. Highly recommend, you get more than just a drama teacher.

Details
As I travel, all my lessons are conducted remotely via Zoom. This allows for greater flexibility, and we’ll work together to find a time that suits both of us, fitting comfortably around the school term.
I work in 10-week terms and offer a free trial session so we can see if it’s the right fit. For students working towards lower LAMDA grades, I recommend 30-minute weekly sessions at £24. For higher-grade students, 45-minute sessions are more suitable and are charged at £36.
After your free trial, if you choose to continue, I’ll invoice you for the remainder of the term, based on how many weeks are left. Payment is made upfront for the remaining sessions.
