Teacher expertise and credentials
As someone deeply immersed in the world of acting, I've spent years honing my craft on both film and television sets, as well as on prestigious theater stages. What makes a great drama teacher, you ask? It's simple: truth. I'm constantly amazed when a student has that "aha" moment and shares a fresh idea, feeling both joy and pride simultaneously. It's the magic of discovery that keeps me humbled and inspired. In today's digital age, I'm dedicated to providing all with the chance to experience that magic firsthand, build confidence, and spark their imaginations. Reviews
