Studio Teacher since 1986; Classroom teacher in Ohio and California; Lecturer in writing and literature, Orange Coast College, Costa Mesa, CA REFERENCES Available from Production and Parents Upon Request COMMENTS I enjoy Studio Teaching for the variety of teaching different ages and subjects. My relationship with students and parents in an entertainment situation is more personal than that of regular classroom teaching. I also enjoy the challenge of helping production companies solve any potential problems.
