Teaching Assessment Report – the Mary Ward Centre

“I visited Hilary King’s class, a one day Alexander Technique workshop (for assessment). This was a graceful, fluent, assured and confidently managed class by a tutor who was both knowledgeable and an enthusiastic exponent of her art. Hilary has a calm and assured teaching persona, and her oral instruction was strikingly fluent and measured… The style is characterised by a tutor whose presence is alert, erect and graceful, and who never ceases explaining, describing, correcting and encouraging… Hilary never stopped either demonstrating an exercise, correcting a posture, or advising or instructing the students. She clearly conveys her lively and serious interest in the subject.” 

Prof. John Vorhaus
