Student Feedback Highlights:

“Elizabeth is AWESOME… I really respected her as a teacher and screen/playwright, but also was not intimidated at all because of how friendly and open she is.”

“She was always prepared and knew how to answer every student’s questions. She really cared about each and every student and wanted to make sure that everyone was grasping the material and felt engaged.”

“Elizabeth was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and great at giving feedback.”

“I felt like I was her number one priority… She was so interested in being helpful and had a rockstar attitude every class.”

“…every single thing we had to do for the class was either fun or interesting or helpful…I don’t know why you wouldn’t show up when the class is legitimately a good time. It was 3 hours long at 9 AM on [Wednesday] and I never once even considered skipping it, THAT’S HOW FUN IT WAS.“
