“Jeremy is a joy to work with. I always felt so welcome to experiment and try new things in his classroom.”

“Jeremy is incredibly smart and articulates the ideas in very clear ways.”

“Jeremy is just so great with promoting an atmosphere of learning. While he always comes to class prepared, he is more concerned with making sure that our questions are answered, and that we are truly understanding and applying what we do in class. He’s understanding and very communicative, and I always feel like he’s willing to help in whatever way he can.”

“The instructor’s enthusiasm was very welcome. It helped me do some scary stuff.”

“The instructor creates an utterly safe and welcoming space!”

“Jeremy KNOWS what he’s doing, and he cares about each one of his students.”

“Jeremy is so receptive to his students learning styles and makes the primary focus of his whole course on self improvement and learning. I felt the whole time that I was gaining valuable skills from his course regardless of the grade I was earning.”

Jeremy is my favorite professor. He is kind, respectful, patient, and highly aware of our individual needs. He offers help as well as gives us time and space to work through hard times. I greatly needed his help this semester, and he was constantly there for me. He responded quickly to emails, he was frank about expectations (and accommodations), and met with me multiple times outside of class to discuss issues as well as answer specific questions and coach my accents. I am so incredibly grateful for all that I have learned from this mentor, in and outside of class.”

Jeremy is one of the best and safest professors in the department. I feel like he genuinely cares about me and wants me to succeed.

“Jeremy treated every student like their questions and concerns were important and deserving of a specific answer.”

“This whole class was amazing. I learned SO much about acting. It changed the way I think about rehearsal and acting and speaking as a whole.”

This class had one of the best learning environments I have ever seen. I felt free to express myself and more that that I felt safe doing so. Meanwhile, I felt like I was getting incredibly valuable feedback that encouraged me to improve without the usual accompanying feeling of failure that often comes in academics.”

“Jeremy is one of the most respectful and kind professors. He is always prepared for class, but still leaves room for us to explore, ask questions, and discuss new and applicable tangents. There were many times where I stretched outside my comfort zone, and he was always there as a resource of help and support. I really appreciate how easy it is to email/communicate with him, as well as sign up for office hours meetings, and access his website with more information. I wasn’t excited about the early mornings Mon-Thurs, but looking back I really needed that daily check in not only with my classmates and with art, but also with myself. I showed up for myself a lot this semester and I’m really grateful for that. I cannot say enough good things about Jeremy. He reached out when I missed class once and it meant the world that he noticed I wasn’t there and went out of his way to check in. Overall, I loved the class, I learned so much, and I can’t recommend Jeremy enough.”
