STUDENT News & Testimonials...
Lily Blunsom-Washbrook has gained a place at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to do her three year training, BA Acting. (2017-2020)
“Eve’s talent radiates from her and her energy is infectious which makes her everything you could want and more from a teacher. We have been working together for 3 years in which my confidence, ability and knowledge of the arts has grown from strength to strength, largely thanks to what I’ve discovered and learnt in our lessons together. She cares so much about each one of her students and does everything in her power to assure them success and confidence in their ability. She will take you through the audition process step by step, always making sure you are happy and comfortable before moving on to the next, whilst giving the most accurate advice and critique that not only improves your individual speeches but your acting as a whole. For anybody considering 1 to 1 tutoring it would be a crime not to consider Eve, it was the best decision I made along my journey of Actor training and her teaching has been absolutely invaluable. She is now a forever friend and I can’t wait to see what she achieves in the future because it will be BIG, so snap up her training while you can!"

"I have had the best three years at Royal Welsh, which I wouldn’t have applied for or gotten into if it wasn’t for Eve. I learnt to trust myself, how to walk into an audition with no fear, the depths of work you have to go into, and I also made a great friend. Thank you Eve for your rigorous coaching, your kindness, and belief in me.”

"Working with Eve is an absolute delight. I felt really nervous walking into my first session but straight away she put me at ease and all my worries quickly faded. Her sessions push me to the best of my abilities which allows me to walk into my auditions feeling positive and prepared. Eve has also helped me work on my American accent, as a Scottish performer I sometimes struggle to lose my accent but Eve has worked effortlessly and patiently to help me achieve a place where I can pick up a piece of American text and execute it confidently. Her personality just radiates throughout the full session and I always leave feeling ready to conquer the industry! I would highly recommend Coaching by Eve. You will not be disappointed!"

Gemma Eshkeri has accepted a place at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama for a BA Acting (Musical Theatre). (2019-2020)
"I have been having lessons with Eve for the past year, and this being my third year trying to get into drama school, the pressure was on for me. But Eve gave me strategies to keep calm under pressure and tips to help me feel my best on the audition day. And as Covid19 meant that most of my auditions had to be sent to the drama schools in the form of a self-tape, I was at an advantage thanks to Eve, who has extensive knowledge on how to produce a great self-tape and how to show your best self when being interviewed via video call.
She is a patient, caring, hard-working teacher, a fantastic mentor, and simply a kind soul. She is very direct and says it as it is. It is so hard to find someone like that, who is not afraid to be honest in order to help me learn and progress. She is one of the most open, warm people I have ever met and I will be eternally grateful for all the support that she has given me this past year."

George Lawrie has gained at place on the three year BA (Hons) Actor training course at ALRA (South). (2018-2020)
"Eve is an Awesome Tutor, never have I worked with someone who is so invested and inspiring as she is. Eve pulled out all the stops in our sessions, I never left feeling like I hadn’t accomplished something, whether it was relighting an old monologue or trying something completely new, Eve had the key for it all. Needless to say, it’s not all hard work, every session was full of laughter and banter, as Eve gets to know you like a friend. She was there with me from start to finish and never gave in until we’d achieved it all. If it wasn’t for her enthusiasm and generosity I wouldn’t be where I am today!"

- "Having started working with Eve as an unsure, nervous 17 year old who was still debating my own talent and desire in drama, she has not only transformed my acting abilities, but helped me ignite my passion through her own infectious enthusiasm and energy. Working in such a warm and friendly environment made me feel comfortable and confident immediately, and I can only thank Eve's in-depth coaching, detailed analysis and insider-advice for driving me to where I am now!"
Lottie Bell gained a place on the BA Acting Course at Rose Bruford. (2018-2019)
“Eve is incredible! She inspires you and challenges you. Unlike other one to one tutors I have had, Eve gets to know you entirely as a person. This helps massively when finding the truth in your monologues. When helping you to choose the right material she takes into account your voice, personality and life experiences - emotional and physical. I thought I knew how to perform Shakespeare until I had our sessions. After every session I left with huge amounts of confidence for my auditions and motivation to improve on my pieces. She is so generous with her time and really cares for her students. If you want to get into Drama School or have an audition coming up, then do Coaching By Eve and get ready to work hard! Whilst having fun of course! ”

“I just wish I’d met Eve earlier! I came to her with about 5 rounds (first, recall and final) to go. She taught me about keeping it fresh, connecting to classical text and not getting stuck in a regular way of saying my monologues. She knows what she wants, she’s firm and she’s also a great laugh!”

"I cannot recommend Eve enough. As well as being an incredible friend, she is the most passionate, talented and inspiring teacher I have ever had the pleasure of being coached by. Her enthusiasm for the performing arts is infectious and after every session I left excited and confident for the audition ahead. To anyone thinking about coaching with Eve DO IT! It’s the best decision I ever made and I definitely would not have had as many recalls, offers and positive experiences as I did during the audition process without her support and guidance."

Georgie Fellows gained a place at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and is now in her final year of training for a three year BA in Acting. (2016-2017)
"From the offset, Eve pushed me to limits I had no idea I was capable of. She broadened my knowledge on how much work and research needs to be put into the text, especially when understanding Shakespeare, vocal warm ups to prepare and focus myself for daily use and auditions, infinite amounts of incredible audition tips and tricks, and most importantly, to be myself. Auditions can be daunting, but with her help I grew to love them and enjoy presenting the work and interpretations I had. Without Eve, I would not be where I am today. Her raw passion for acting and teaching inspired me to work hard and put time and effort into everything. She is an incredible teacher and friend, and I could not recommend someone more."

Emily Mills has gained a place at The American Academy on Dramatic Arts in New York. (2017)
"I have had the pleasure of being coached by Eve, she has not only expanded my knowledge but taught me a deeper meaning of acting. I am now able to read into monologues and characters in much more depth, using simple but extensive exercises. From the beginning she has made me feel so comfortable and confident, Eve has not only been a great teacher but a supportive friend too and I am so thankful for that."

She is genuienly my life saver, and can’t thank her enough for being not only a fab teacher but now a wonderful friend!"

Ellie Lee - Performing Arts & LAMDA Exam Student (2015-2016)
"I have honestly never met anyone with as much love, passion, determination, energy and talent for the performing arts as Eve Niker! I have been lucky enough to be a teaching assitant to Eve and loved learning from her. It was a joy to see the children love what she did whether it was confidence building, LAMDA, or the multiple drama games that she would come up with!! Every child Eve taught came and left the class with a massive smile! As well as her teaching assitant I was also blessed to be a student of Eve, her energy and pure drive for wanting you to be the best you can be and more is outstanding! Eve puts in so much more effort towards her students than everyone else I've ever met and I'm really grateful to of been taught by her!"
