Hello, my name is Jake, and I am an actor in Chicago. I am an Instructor with Black Box Acting, one of Chicago's highest profile training programs. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors from Miami University of Ohio with bachelor's degrees in theatre and psychology. I have a passion for the arts, with a specialization of knowledge regarding theatre. I have extensive experience working with children in educational and performance settings.
As a tutor, I like to meet my students where they are at in terms of their education instead of fitting them into a stock mold. Every student learns differently, and I love experimenting with varied methods to determine what will work best for each person and then building lesson plans from there. I re-frame challenges and obstacles as opportunities for future success. I strongly believe that the first step to success in any area of life is believing in yourself. You need to respect yourself, first and foremost. From this place of positive thinking comes personal and educational growth.
My professional acting experience (and experience teaching the craft to others) makes me an ideal fit for those looking to improve their public speaking.
In addition to educational tutoring, I offer private coaching for professional actors.
