Prepare For A LAMDA Exam
Thanks to YATI and My LAMDA Tutor's partnership you can now prepare for your next LAMDA Exam with some of the best tutors and on-demand resources available!
Build Confidence
Students will improve their confidence and learn to articulate their thoughts and ideas, and importantly make their voice heard - a valuable skill in the classroom or workplace.
Develop Creativity
Whether they're stepping into a characters shoes or considering why a writer has put pen to paper, learners are encouraged to be empathetic and to be inventive in their performances.
Earn UCAS Points
When students get to Grades 6 - 8 they can extra UCAS points for university applications! Even better, they can combine points from performance and communication subjects!
What is LAMDA?
LAMDA is the oldest and most prestigious awarding body for performance and communication exams in the world - they examine over 100,000 young people each year! Their exams are OfQual regulated and are help young people develop as creative individuals.
How Do Lessons Work?
Our one-to-one sessions are 30 mins long and take place online - culminating in an online exam. There are 10 lessons over 12 weeks (to give everyone time to learn lines!). You'll have a regular slot on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings!
What subjects can I take?
With My LAMDA Tutor's partnership with YATI you can take either Acting or Speaking Verse and Prose. Acting is perfect for budding performers and Verse and Prose ties in nicely with English studies at school.
Do I have to start at Grade 1?
LAMDA divides their assessments into Grades 1 - 8 but you don't have to start at the beginning! Our experienced tutors will use the first session to put you through your paces and recommend what grade you should be aiming for.
What happens in the exam?
Learners perform their pieces in front of a LAMDA examiner and answer theory questions based on their performances. They are assessed on their understanding and their use of voice and body. After the exam they receive a certificate and a report from the examiner.

Take an Acting Exam!
Students memorise and rehearse two monologues – one set piece from a list provided by LAMDA and an ‘own choice’ piece. They are also prepared for the 'knowledge' section, at the end of the exam, when they are asked questions on the pieces they have performed. They're assessed on how well they demonstrate an understanding of the character and how they employ their voice and body to represent thoughts and feelings.
Take a Verse & Prose Exam!
Students memorise and recite two pieces - one poem and one extract from a novel. The students are also required to do 'sight-reading' by reading a text aloud that they've never seen before. Then, they answer questions about their pieces and literary devices. It fits nicely with English studies at school. Students are assessed on their understanding of the content of the pieces and how they use their voice and body to communicate the writers meaning, mood and intention.
Our Bespoke Video Platform
Our exclusive video platform is jam-packed with LAMDA specific content to help young people consolidate learning and stay inspired between sessions. There's also quizzes, workbooks and interviews with celebrity guests. Check out the sample video!
