Lara Stoby

Istanbul Workshop Leader:

Born in New York, raised in London and Geneva and now based in Istanbul, Lara Stoby works as an acting coach, drama teacher and voice over actor.

She trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) after attending Columbia University in New York where she received a BA in American Studies. After working as an actress in London and New York, she retrained as a teacher and now also holds a Postgraduate Certificate of Education in Secondary School Drama. Since 2010 Lara has been teaching children across the age range in schools and nurseries, in both an academic and extracurricular context. Using her experience both on and off the stage, Lara facilitates workshops that foster creativity, develop expression and build confidence in younger students, guides older students through the performing arts audition process, and supports professional actors as they fine-tune their instruments.

Jazzitup Kids is a UK company, providing holiday programmes for children from 5-11 with English as a second or alternative language. We offer themed days with fun English language learning workshops through our method of Active Storytelling - the stories and adventures of Jazzy the Juggler.

We teach kids within a no-pressure context where they are able to enjoy learning, sharing and expressing themselves according to their abilities. The aim of our holiday camps is to teach English with an emphasis on public speaking and new vocabulary and grammar acquisition, learning and practising the target language objectives, performing in English and having fun!

Please write to us with anything we need to know about your child including their English language level, medical conditions or educational needs
