"It is my pleasure to recommend ACT2 to all students who are seeking to pass the LAMDA exams. My daughter Ela had a wonderful experience while preparing for her LAMDA exams. She has had first-hand experience working with Valerie and Marshall (who is also the owner of ACT2). These teachers are licensed and certified to teach their subjects and in addition have completed official LAMDA training. I can promise you that the teachers are of extraordinary talent and dedication. ACT2 teachers set high, but not unreasonable, standards for their students and then give them the tools to succeed" - (2021-2024).

“Marshall really opens your eyes to the processes and skills necessary to perform at the highest level – and helps you get there. With each lesson you gain new insights, whether on how to analyze a text or delve deeply into the inner thoughts and passions of a given character. He encourages you to confidently explore different situations and reactions, to continually grow as an actor. The contexts may vary from contemporary writers to Shakespeare classics but always the lessons are enjoyable as they are challenging. With his dedicated and professional approach, I have been able to reach distinction in all my exams. But more than that, more than the deep insights, I have gained a real love of acting.” - (2019-2024)

"Whilst he was working as Head of Theatre at Ecolint, Marshall led the organisation of LAMDA courses for all three campuses. Marshall's passion and drive led to an enormous take-up for the courses, with over 140 students signed up in only the third year of operation, and his deep understanding of the LAMDA courses coupled with his own skill as a drama teacher meant that we were able to achieve a 100% pass rate, with 95% of students gaining merit or distinctions. Marshall is a consummate theatre professional, whose calm and affable nature belies a fiery passion for all things theatrical, and a genuine love of inspiring young people to develop as performers, public speakers, and practitioners of the theatrical arts. Highly recommended!"
"Marshall Sapherson worked at the International School of Geneva for over 15 years as a department head, teacher, producer and activity leader. Marshall's direction of shows was of very high quality: shows such as 'Les Miserables', 'The Crucible' and 'The Accidental Death Of An Anarchist' remain powerful memories for the school. Marshall is a highly skilled teacher of drama and LAMDA coach. In his considerable repertoire of skills and experience he has also shown that he is an excellent coordinator of LAMDA. "
