These private lessons are catered to the learner and their goals. We will take a couple minutes at the start of the session to talk about what they are looking to accomplish, fears they may have holding them back, and anything else they want to include. 

I often use improv and role-playing techniques to help with confidence-building and social skills, and we will always go at a pace the learner is comfortable with. I like to create a very low pressure, casual, and positive environment for my students.

Below is a general format: 

1. Talk about Goals 
2. Warm-up (depending on the goal of the session, warm-ups can include practicing lines in different emotions, interviewing each other about easy topics, or learning a couple tongue twisters) 
3. First Activity (this would include a role playing a real life situation, reading and directing a scene for acting lessons, or practicing improv with "yes, and" techniques) 
4. Talk About It ( I encourage learners to reflect and talk about their feelings along the way so that they can become aware of their tendencies and be consistent with their progress) 
5. Second Activity (or continuing the first activity after feedback)

*Please keep in mind this is a very general format, and activities will depend on the learner's goals.
