"Fiona Lennon was my mentor during my Drama teacher training at Benenden School where she served as Director of Drama. Her outstanding results in the department and school initiatives showcase her inspiring leadership. Fiona's exceptional communication skills enabled her to guide her team to consistently achieve high-quality results. She embraced challenges, whether achieving A*/A A-Level results or directing a production at the London Coliseum for over 2,000 attendees. Fiona genuinely cares about her colleagues and always made time for me, even now when I seek her professional advice. Her investment in my growth and support over six years was crucial to my development. Thanks to her mentorship, I am studying at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and work in top theatre schools and conservatoires in the Southwest. I owe much of my success to her mentorship and teaching"

"Fiona and I worked together over several years on a special project, promoting drama and developing oracy skills through Shakespeare to primary school children. Fiona is fantastic at connecting with children, growing their confidence and literacy skills. Adaptable and committed, Fiona brings a joy for learning into the classroom and it has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with her."

"Fiona led a series of 10 impactful Public Speaking sessions for the Year 13 students at Cranleigh School. Initially, there was some hesitation from the students, but as the word spread about how transformative and rewarding the experience was, demand soared—students were eager to attend, with many even knocking on the door to participate. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with several students personally reaching out to Fiona to express their gratitude. The sessions were filled with moments of both tears and laughter as students conquered their fears and delivered their speeches with newfound confidence. The timing of the sessions also proved to be perfect, aligning with students' university and job interview preparations. We’re thrilled that Fiona will be returning to Cranleigh, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to other schools and colleges."
