    About Danielle S.

    Welcome to my tutoring page! I am an actor and director with over 15 years of experience in the performing arts. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Pace University in New York City and I was most recently employed as a drama teacher for grades K-8. I am very active in community theater across the valley and I have also appeared in short films and commercials. I have been recognized with AriZoni Theatre Excellence Awards and Nominations for my work and I have dedicated my life to my passion for the arts! I have been working with youth for over 9 years as a summer camp counselor, youth theatre director and hair and makeup artist, and drama teacher. I love developing young artists' skills and also enjoy having a lot of fun along the way. I am hard working and bring high energy on and off stage, and I am confident that I can help you exceed your creative goals and challenges. Whether you are a beginner who would like to gain more confidence in public speaking, a high school student rehearsing monologues for college auditions, or looking to advance your acting skills to more complex levels, I enjoy fostering all levels of talent. I would love to talk to you about what you hope to gain from your lessons with me. Thank you!
