“Rachel is a very passionate and giving teacher. She genuinely cares about each student’s progress and is amazing at providing supportive suggestions to help build skills and break habits.” -Morgan G., Actress
“Rachel has a way of making a total group of strangers foster a comfortable and safe environment. She was always encouraging and nurturing. Even when you were being corrected, you knew it came from a place of wanting to see you do better.” -Frank B., Writer and Actor
“Rachel is a tremendous improv teacher, especially if you are just starting out. I entered her Level 1 Class having not done improv for nearly 10 years. I was hoping to just shake off the cobwebs, but I immediately fell in love with the art form all over again. Much of that was due to inclusive and emotionally safe class environment that Rachel runs. All choices are encouraged and appreciated. She does a great job of guiding you without pressure or stress.”
- Steve B., Actor and Host of The Gamut Podcast
