Edward has provided examples of their subject expertise by answering 6 questions submitted by students on Wyzant’s Ask an Expert.
A knowledgeable tutor
Edward is insightful. He taught me how to write creatively, using words to create a scene and use the image to touch readers. Creative writing is like acting, using description to create perception and feelings. Edward is so good at teaching students to do it.

easy to talk to and conveys a lot of good information for crafting a screenplay
Edward is easy to talk to, and he has a way of breaking down the steps to write a screenplay that are easy to understand. He gave me assignments to read scripts, do character studies, timeline spreadsheets, and a Mood Reel.....He sent me materials he has written on screenplay writing. He is very generous with his time and knowledge; I very highly recommend him!

Very helpful, great mind map
Edward was very patient and explained in details about abstract thoughts and personal anecdotes. We worked on my school application statement, and Edward helped me support my arguments with interesting anecdotes. We also chatted a lot about filmmakers such as Wong Kar Wai, Stanley Kubrick, and Jackie Chan. Glad to hear his thoughts!
