Bringing English to Life Through Drama Workshops and Theatre

Welcome to our innovative drama workshops and theatre designed for Portuguese students learning English as a second language. With over 20 years of experience in theatre and education, I offer a unique, creative approach that blends games, improvisation, and theatre techniques to make English learning dynamic, engaging, and fun.

Whether we’re exploring a book, theme, or curriculum topic, our workshops bring learning to life. Students will:
Boost confidence by acting out real-life situations and characters.
Enhance listening and speaking skills through role-play and improvisation.
Expand vocabulary and use English naturally in context.
Enjoy learning through hands-on, interactive activities.

Each workshop is carefully tailored to support both language development and classroom learning, helping students not only improve their English but also deepen their understanding of key topics.

Year 4 Teacher, Devon

The children had a fantastic time and really got involved with the drama at every stage.  By stepping into the lives of characters from history, it helped them recognise and empathise with the past.  We can’t thank Candice enough for giving up her time and the children will be using their experiences for their writing when we come back to start the new half term.

Year 1/Year 2 “Candace helped us to understand Macbeth in a fun and imaginative way.”
Year 3/Year 4 ” We loved the work Candace did with us on ‘The Tempest’. It was really creative.”
Year 5/Year 6 “The children learnt alot about how to use their bodies for drama and how to work together.”
Reception class “The children loved the play ‘Help! An Alien Stole My Hamburger!’ It was great fun!”

Luisa, Language School Director, Portugal

Candace ran drama based English language learning workshops at our summer camp. The children loved the improvisations and gained alot of confidence from the workshops. We look forward to working with her again in the future

I have been having Business English classes with Candace for almost half a year now.
She is a great teacher. She is always helpful and cares about our difficulties in learning the language. She creates the classes around our needs. Her classes cover subjects and topics that are part of our lives, so the lessons are always applicable and practical. I just want to say thank you to Candace for helping me achieve my language goals.

David, Lawyer

Candace is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her classes because she has a deep knowledge and love of the English language. She likes to adopt innovative ways to teach. She is able to hold the attention of the students. Another positive point is her kindness when correcting students.
The classes are a really good opportunity to learn English in a very friendly and enthusiastic environment.
She has a great sense of humor and smiles easily.
She is one of the most interesting people that I have ever met.
