London based academic, teaches film history and theory while studying Masters degree

Recommendation for Molly Stapleton from Claire Rollason Colmore Primary Schoo l Birmingham

I have had the pleasure of knowing Molly for the last four years; in this time, she has worked with my Year 6 class in order to produce a variety of lip-synch videos for their end of year productions.

Not only has she worked with professionalism and dedication, she has formed positive relationships with colleagues and pupils alike; she combines a friendly nature and sense of fun with great attention to detail and initiative. Molly is well-organised and has good communication skills, but most of all is extremely creative and flexible in her approach. The quality of her media work has been exceptional and her videos have often been the highlight of the class’ productions – her attention to detail has been exemplary.

Molly is an intelligent academic with fantastic teaching instincts. Perfect for any ages, but especially students interested in deconstructing the often unintentional subtext of popular film and cinema. She's especially good with helping people to properly understand cinema rather than simply regurgitating academic sound bites. I highly recommend her as a tutor.
