It’s not just a name. It’s the process.

— MY APPROACH

“I like being able to be loud and not worry about what other people think. I like all the stretching…I like being active and not being stuck in my room for the whole day. I really like the lessons I learned about my own story and how it shaped me to be who I am. I like all the reflection - asking myself who am I and why am I like this?”

—DCDS STUDENT

“It’s not at all what I thought - you know, Hollywood and reading lines - but I definitely learned a lot about myself, others, and my peers. I’m really glad that we’re able to express ourselves and challenge our bodies as well through the stretching and physical activities.”

—DCDS STUDENT

Watch as STEM students reflect on how theatre and literary arts help them build self-awareness, confidence, empathy, and communication skills.

‍— WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

“I honestly did not expect to like it as much as I do. I’ve given theatre a negative connotation because of my experience with it - like seeing shows and plays and stuff like that…It’s definitely a lot more than that.

It’s about enunciating yourself and being able to communicate a lot better. And I think that’s what makes theatre, and I hadn't taken that into account. Now that I have, I can see how that plays a bigger role in this whole theme of storytelling and how you’re telling your story, not only just like what your story is.”

HEAR FROM STUDENTS

  • "Tezeru always simplified the readings to make everyone else in the class understand the material better. I really liked how she would pick out specific parts of the readings and made us read it aloud in class. This allowed me to see other people's perspectives and understanding of the material and it also demonstrated her outside preparation for the section."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "Tezeru is exceptional at leading discussions. She always has something constructive to add to the conversation, and she's great at asking the group questions that lead to deep analysis of what we read."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "Am amazing professor overall. Cares very much about student success, always willing to make time for students. Encourages participation during class, makes students feel very comfortable and excited to comment and ask questions during lecture. Topics discussed in class are always very interesting, and the learning takeaway from this course has far exceeded my expectations- -I did not expect that I would learn so much valuable information from a film class, and I am very happy that I took this course. Thank you, professor! :D"

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "The professor was amazing. The course stimulated my interest because she was so passionate. I loved the embodiment portion."

    — CSUSM Undergrad

  • "Tezeru is exceptional at leading discussions. She always has something constructive to add to the conversation, and she's great at asking the group questions that lead to deep analysis of what we read."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "She is a very positive and energetic professor who always wants the class to learn and take away something from each lecture. She always wants the class to, whenever they see any form of modern day media, view it with skepticism and ask whether or not it conveys any sort of stereotypes."

    —UCSD Undergrad

  • "Very safe space to discuss and learn more about African-American Theatre and surrounding culture."

    — CSUSM Undergrad, Intro to African-American

  • "Tezeru is a great teacher and mentor. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that cannot be all appreciated in just the classroom. She learns with you and teaches you at the same time. And she does it all with a smile."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "She is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this course, and is well prepared for each lecture. She promotes interesting questions and discussions to the students. Hope to see her continue teaching this class."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "Tezeru's greatest strength is her ability to either spark intrigue in a student or to develop a deeper understanding of the subject at hand. She is brilliant at making connections and allowing the student(s) to discover the material for themselves."

    — UCSD Undergrad

  • "Please please please let this class return so that other students get the chance to experience and learn from it."

    — CSUSM Undergrad

  • "A vibrant and enthusiastic educator with a deep passion for and understanding of the material. She begins each class with stretching, asks engaging and thought-provoking questions, learns students’ names to build genuine relationships, fosters a strong sense of community, and shows sincere interest in students’ perspectives and well-being."

Performance is the practice.

— PURPOSE

Development is the point.

Your child may come because they need help with an audition, because they love writing, or because they need a place to practice speaking, creating, listening, experimenting, and trying again.

Wherever they begin, the work asks them to develop the character on the page and character within themselves.

If you’d like to learn more about my services, current pricing, package options, and available discounts, I’d be happy to discuss them with you.
