Drama is one of my top subjects! Extensive experience as teacher, actor, director, and writer with success on both coasts in public and private venues. Focus is on personal development in artistic and professional efforts.

I have over thirty years experience teaching Theatre and Language Arts for public and private educational and performance organizations, including elementary school through junior college classes, and a mime/movement class at Yale University. I have studied at UCLA, San Francisco State University, the Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven CT, and the New School for Social Research in New York City. I've also participated in workshops and performance opportunities with trainers in the styles of Bolivia's Augusto Boal, Sanford Meisner, and the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. Drama and English students of mine have had widespread success in furthering their educations and careers.
I'm a fairly intense and mellow person. Focus on specifics comes from an understanding of the goals and overall needs of a given project. Who's my audience and what details do I need to gather ... read more

My comments on tutoring Drama : I have been a theater artist all of my adult life. I can coach acting, tutor folks learning lines, or help a college student non major understand and know theater history.

I am a seasoned literary specialist, I GET TANGIBLE RESULTS. I have been the Executive Director of a literary organization for over 20 years, and I have taught all ages of students in elementary, high school and colleges, as well as adults out of college. I have been actively tutoring private students for three years. I absolutely love working with young (and young at heart) people. I have exceptional reasoning, writing, reading and comprehension skills. I excel working with elementary, middle and high school children and youth. I can help with remedial tutoring and advance a gifted student who needs a challenge. I can help your student write successful papers -- from applications to school assignments, sharpen and deepen their capacity for writing, dramatically improve reading skills, and successfully edit school papers. I also support parents in gaining help at school sites. I ... read more

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go ... read more
