I'm a 74 year old retired man. I have always loved acting but have had some minor challenges due to bad eye sight and I'm not that computer savvy. Jim helped me learn how to use an I-pad my grand daughter gave me to help me expand fonts to read scripts. Though I'm only doing this so far for a hobby, I can see huge improvement in my ability to memorize scripts and act convincingly. Jim encouraged me to audition for the community senior center's drama club. I couldn't believe it I got right in and enjoying meeting new people (I'm widowed). Jim has been a Godsend. I'm finding new joy and I'm enjoying seeing local theatre productions. I appreciate his kind, patient, and professional matter. Acting lessons with Jim is what got me through the horrible isolation during Covid quarantine. He is also incredibly knowledgable on health such as veganism, breathing/meditation and is encouraging me to get into a healthier lifestyle. My voice/sinuses improved after giving up dairy. I used to get chronic sinusitis. So I feel acting has been beneficial to my overall health. Though Jim is pricier than other teachers in the area... I believe you pay for what you get. The extra money I pay is well worth it. The two other acting coaches I used before Jim...were mediocre and treated me like an invalid. Jim continues to inspire me to be the best I can be in all areas of my life. I consider him a good friend and he is one of the best educators out there.

My daughter really enjoyed having classes with Manny. She is only 11 years old but she was interested in taking sign language classes because she is hoping one day being a teacher and help kids.

Coach Deep did a great job of working with my 9 year old on QB skills as well as general fitness training and good athlete discipline and habits. His correction to my son’s deep pass throwing mechanics definitely made a noticeable difference this season for our team resulting in more touchdowns and less interceptions. He has and teaches a great work ethic that goes beyond just the sport.

Jan has been nothing short of a great teacher and friend to me. Shes critical on where you need to improve and encouraging with your strengths! If you're looking for a teacher with lots of personality, stories, and drive to help you further yourself; you're in the right place.

Fantastic writer and producer, I directed a film she co-wrote and produced and she's great to work with. Has a clear vision and taught me a lot.

I've been studying with Peter for 4 years.  In that time, I've also attended many acting classes taught by other acting teachers at different UK drama schools, but Peter is by far the best acting teacher I have ever worked with. He is extremely creative in his approach to any piece of text, and has always a lot of ideas to make any audition monologue interesting and original. I know that I've been able to stand out in my auditions thanks to the smart choices he had offered me. He is also very good at knowing what will suit each individual student and always gives very good suggestions that show the student's strengths, and makes them show their best ability. Peter has a great attention to details, and always finds a way to make my speeches stronger, rich and fresh. Unlike many acting tutors who can be easily satisfied, Peter never runs out of advices to make a speech better and will push his students to achieve better performances. His classes include a Physical Warm up, Voice exercises, Diction strenghtening, and work on the Breath, as well as a lot of Improvisation and imagination work. His knowledge of theatre and film is extensive and especially Shakespeare that he understands very well. Peter is very kind and generous, has a very cheerful and upbeat personality that made me immediately very comfortable. Thanks to his preparation, I got offered places to study at the Guildford School of Acting, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, the American Musical Theatre Academy, and London College of Music. I would highly recommend taking his classes to anyone who wants to train/work as a professional actor.
