Makaton Tutoring.

Phoebe was funded through the Arts Council England DYCP fund to train and is now a licensed Makaton tutor with The Makaton Charity.

View Phoebes Profile on The Makaton Website - She specialises in workshops steered towards professionals working within the performing arts.

Noteable Phoebe most recently brought Makaton to TV/Film coaching a Netflix for the film ‘Goodbye June’ working 1:1 with a cast member who primarily communicated using Makaton and personally tutoring Kate Winslet for the project which she both stared in and directed. She also trained the full cast for a signed-and-sung scene, marking one of the first major productions to collaborate with a specialist Makaton artist.

“I was first introduced to Makaton in the rehearsal room as a production I was puppeteering on used it- since then I fell in love with it and trained to become a tutor. I love to create work using the Makaton vocabulary both as a communication tool for participants but as well as a performative element. Therefore my application of Makaton is not in the classroom setting but in enrichment and lifestyle situations. As a tutor my point of entry is less steered towards literacy and writing and more to commutating and taking part.”- Phoebe Hyder
