Improv isn't just comedy — it's listening, reacting, and building scenes through "yes, and" thinking. William performs improv regularly at Yale and brings that stage experience directly into teaching students how to commit to choices, read their scene partners, and develop characters spontaneously. Rated 5.0 by students, he treats every session like a rehearsal where risk-taking is the whole point.

"Yes, and" sounds simple until you're standing in front of people with nothing planned. Rachel's MFA in Acting and her performing arts background mean she teaches improvisation as a craft — scene structure, character commitment, active listening, and the discipline of staying present onstage. She's especially effective at breaking through the self-consciousness that keeps newer performers from taking real risks in a scene.

I am a musician, educator, and philosopher based in New Haven, Connecticut. I studied at UCLA graduating Cum Laude with degrees in Music Performance, Education, and Philosophy. I have been tutoring private music lessons and academic subjects for over 5 years now, and I work as a substitute teacher across Connecticut. My favorite subjects to tutor are Music, English, and Reading/Writing Skills, but I am capable of tutoring various Historical subjects, Math, and Science as well.

Public speaking recognition and a background in creative self-expression give Rukhsar an unusual entry point into improv — she approaches it less as a theater exercise and more as a communication discipline rooted in spontaneous storytelling and responsive dialogue. Her teaching emphasizes reading the room, adapting tone in real time, and building confidence through structured exercises that make unscripted moments feel manageable. Rated 5.0 by students.

Public speaking, creative writing, and psychology might seem like separate disciplines, but Stephen connects all three in his approach to improv — reading people, thinking on your feet, and building narrative spontaneously. As a Yale student who teaches across communication-heavy subjects, he treats improvisation as structured spontaneity, breaking down how to listen to a scene partner, commit to a choice, and let a moment unfold without overthinking it.

Improv isn't about being funny — it's about listening, reacting, and trusting your instincts in real time. Zachary teaches the core principles like "yes, and," active scene-building, and character commitment, giving students a toolkit they can use on stage, in auditions, or just to feel more confident speaking off the cuff. Rated 5.0 by students.

Good improv isn't about being funny on command — it's about listening, reacting honestly, and building on what your scene partner gives you. Gabriela teaches the fundamentals of "yes, and" thinking, character commitment, and emotional authenticity, creating a low-pressure space where students get comfortable taking creative risks.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies.

Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
