I can coach you through character building, relaxation exercises, vocal warmups, and running lines. More importantly, I can help find what the character is doing in the scene. Acting is taking action, so actors need to act upon something. That something is the crux of the matter for an actor. Once an actor finds his/her actions, then performing th Read more

College Grad with an English Degree
I am a college graduate with a degree in English literature. This means I have lots of experience with reading, writing, proofreading, and editing essays. I completed two years of a credential program for teaching when I realized I wanted to do my individualized teaching/instructing, and left the credential program. If there is one thing that I have learned in my life so far - it is that each person has a different learning style, and I will try my best to work with you and develop a meth... Read more

Thomas
Political Science Professor with 10+ Years of Experience
I taught courses in political science for more than ten years. It was not a matter of addressing students in a large lecture hall. I interacted with students in settings that facilitated discussion. My students learned to make arguments and to defend them. The courses that I taught included all the major subfields of political science, but they focused on the American political tradition. Where appropriate, I assigned readings from primary sources, because I found that these require a... Read more
