STUDENT News & Testimonials...
Lily Renwick has gained a place at Leeds Conservatoire on the BA (Hons) Actor-Musician Course.
(Student 2020-2021). Lily had an amazing choice of offers and believes this is the perfect course for her.
"There are no words to describe Eve! She is one of the best Teachers I have ever had. I started lessons with Eve early October and the progress I have made already is outstanding! I really see a difference in my confidence and how I approach auditions. Eve is so inspiring and has such a positive energy about her and she really cared about my development.
This is my second-year auditioning for Drama Schools and the difference this year is too good to be true! Everything made so much more sense with Eve's knowledge. She knows exactly what Drama Schools are looking for. She guided me through how to produce amazing self-tapes and express my talent through screen.
I have gained multiple places and I feel so honoured and grateful as I know I couldn't have achieved this without Eve's help. If you're looking to get into Drama School Eve is your key! I feel like I have made a life-long friend and I can't wait to see her shine in the future!"

"I cannot recommend Eve Niker highly enough. When I started with Eve, I had some experience as a performer but did not know how to prepare myself for drama school auditions. She led me through the process with patience, kindness, and gusto. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, and supported me through every wobble. I am incredibly grateful for her time and expertise, and feel that coaching with her was an invaluable investment into my future as an actor. Seriously — if you want to get into drama school, work with Eve."

Nina Ingemann has gained a place at RADA to do her Master's Degree and vocational training in Theatre Lab. (Student 2019-2020) She came and had an intensive month of lessons with Eve in London.
"Eve is your choice for success, I testify! She truly understands what’s relevant for the process of applying to the top tier Acting Schools, even in the know about how the programs vary. *(With the approach of traditional training being reassessed these years, to work with a graduate of this century is an advantage to get the impression of the nowaday real-life working actor). Eve herself is A game with any technical aspect of the classics and makes this easy and accessible. For me, this was crucial, as I did not undergo the BA training in the UK, and needed to catch up with the basics. Most importantly, I love how her spirit is that of an Olympic Athlete’s mindset. She’s demanding yet genuinely positive, truly invested in you, and utterly supportive in every aspect of your journey, which is the crucial element in choosing the right teacher to train with! Even with the hazardous project of my coming to London and prepare intensively for a month, she was all in on the challenge, and I was accepted into my fave MA. Eve is a unique force of an educator and I can highly recommend working with her."

Lily Blunsom-Washbrook has gained a place at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to do her three year training, BA Acting. (Student 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!"

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). (Student 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). (Student 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. (Student 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. (Student 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."

"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.

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."

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!"
