About Marienna
Students & colleagues describe me as caring, supportive & easy to talk to. I am a published writer, accredited journalist, public speaker & communications expert with +15 years’ experience.
Though I am now a professional public speaker, I'll never forget how I almost passed out the first time I stood up in front of an audience! Working in the charity sector I've also supported many others who started off saying “I can’t write,” "I can't speak in front of people," or “why would anyone want to hear what I have to say?” - and have gone on to appear on national television, write for national newspapers and even speak in parliament!
My DBS check certificate is available on request.
TESTIMONIALS
“Marienna’s keynote address at our Annual Safeguarding Conference focused on survivor-centered safeguarding for young people. Her session was brilliant and made a huge impact. It was powerful, practical and empowering. There were over 250 professionals in the room and you could have heard a pin drop.” – David Smellie, partner, Farrer & Co
“Marienna is a professional whose passion is matched by her ability, someone who is able to communicate with astonishing impact. With her telling of Gaia’s story, I have seen Marienna move people to understand the impact on individuals, the community but also society. She is an excellent change campaigner and communicator.” – Jayne Butler, CEO, Rape Crisis England & Wales
“Marienna developed & delivered a five session series covering the most important aspects of public speaking, press & communications work for the families we work with. Her preparation & delivery were consistently brilliant, she was also able to use her personal experience to connect with people and offered support between sessions. Engagement & retention for this particular series was very high and families continue to reference how helpful attending was and send details of press work they have done as a result.” – Mo Mansfield, INQUEST
QUALIFICATIONS
I hold two first class degrees from the University of London. My undergraduate degree was in Politics & International Development from the SOAS (the School of Oriental & African Studies,) where I graduated in the top 5% of my class. Years later I returned to Birkbeck College as a mature student on a scholarship to study for my MA in Creative Writing.

We will work as a team to figure out how to help you overcome your fear, find your voice and connect with your audience.
Sessions are tailored to your needs because what makes a powerful public speaker is always specific to who is speaking, what you want to say and who your audience is. And if you're not entirely sure, don't worry - we can figure it out together!
From there I can help you identify your key messages and develop a great speech or presentation to make them sing. I'll create a safe space for you to practice, with mindfulness exercises to help you stay grounded and plenty of feedback and support to help you become the most powerful public speaker you can be.
My fifteen years’ experience working in youth, adult and public education in the charity sector and also as a participatory educator have taught me how different our needs and challenges all are, which is why I work in a student-centered way. At the end of each session we will reflect together on how things are going and your feedback on what works best for you will shape how we move forwards.
I enjoy teaching all levels including adults and people with learning differences. I have informal experience supporting young people who are neurodivergent and if you have any specific learning or accessibility needs - whether or not you have a formal diagnosis - please don’t hesitate to reach out and have a chat with me about these before booking your first session.
There is no such thing as a stupid question so if you’d like to find out more, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

In the two years she tutored my sons she was a great help to them in their KS3 and GCSE English and History studies. I found Marienna to be a very reliable and effective private tutor. She has a great understanding of her subjects which is clear from her teaching. With her guidance they both achieved the highest grades andwe feel lucky to have her to call upon when we need to.
Marienna tutored me online via skype through my A-levels to help with coursework and essay writing. She has a really good way of working with me to help me pick out my own arguments and make them clear and strong. She was always very patient and understanding in our sessions and flexible about when we worked and for how long. I found it easier to work in half-hour slots so that's what we did. I always looked forward to our lessons and they definitely helped improve my grades.
I needed public speaking training for an inter-collegiate competition with our debating society. I loved debate but once there was an audience I'd lose my voice - sometimes literally! In just a couple of sessions Marienna was able to get at the root of that and help me overcome that fear. We did lots of body work, lots of laughing. I learned stress-management techniques I've also found really useful in job interviews since. And she came to support me on the day which meant a lot.
“I highly recommend Marienna as an English tutor. Nathan was struggling with KS3 English when I reached out for tutoring. I was immediately impressed by her approach, by how much she listened to me as well as the dedication she showed my son. What I was able to tell her about his learning style and challenges at school became a core part of her approach as a tutor and her passion for the subject really brought it to life for him. His grades are improving - and so his his attitude!
“While Marienna was tutoring me through A-level politics I discovered such a passion for the subject that I'm now studying it at Southampton University. She was so supportive and really helped me to think critically for myself. As well as providing support for coursework and exam revision, she was with me every step of the way through the process of applying for university. I'll always be grateful, she helped set the course for my whole career.
