GREETINGS...

A proper studio teacher is more than just a teacher. It is someone who can handle the arduous task of negotiating between multiple parties to achieve a common goal on set. While one's primary aim is the well being of the child, the studio teacher must perform his or her duties in such a way as to appease the production company, parents, and actors.

All-too-often, the needs of children on set are disregarded. An adult must be there for that child in his or her time of need. I actively work to address issues before they develop into problems. I am easy to work with and strive to achieve a common goal amongst all parties involved. I'm not only in charge of the safety and well being of studio children but also their education and morals. I strive to create an atmosphere that closely approximates a normal life for all studio children.

Being a studio teacher is not simply a side job but something I have been working hard to become over the past two years. I have earned both teaching credentials necessary for my certificate and have also achieved a GATE certificate for teaching gifted and talented children. My goal is to be thoroughly qualified to teach a variety of children.
