English Lessons for All Levels - Beginner to Fluent!
Need a little help with your English? I'm offering friendly English lessons for folks of all levels, from just starting out to those who want to polish their skills. I can tailor lessons to your needs, whether it's conversation practice, grammar help, or just getting comfortable speaking.
Celtic Longsword & Round Shield (Iron Age Replicas)
Iron Age Celtic longsword (30-inch blade for slashing) and lime-wood round shield with iron boss. The Celts fought with fury and individual skill. The Romans fought with system. Both have their place. Weighted for training.
Screen Acting for Dancers -- When the Music Stops
I won my Oscar in a drama, not a musical. Dancers make extraordinary actors because we understand timing, physicality, and emotional expression through the body. I teach dancers how to carry those skills into dialogue scenes. Tip: Every pause in dialogue is a rest in music. Feel it that way.
Samurai Mounted Archery (Yabusame) Training
Yabusame: mounted archery at gallop, hitting targets on a narrow lane. Sacred Shinto practice and deadly combat skill. Draw, release, recover -- all while controlling the horse with your knees. I will start you at a walk. The gallop comes when the horse says you are ready.
Supply Chain Independence Workshop -- Self-Sufficiency
Building a self-sufficient military supply chain. Local manufacturing, resource management, trade network building, reducing dependence on external suppliers. The French tried to starve me of weapons. I built my own factories. Tip: Every dependency is a vulnerability. Every skill you outsource is a throat your enemy can cut.
Bicycle Repair & Mechanics Clinic
Bring your bicycle. We'll strip it down and rebuild it together. Chains, gears, bearings, brakes, wheel truing. The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever built -- more miles per calorie than any vehicle. Wilbur and I ran a bike shop for a decade before we ever touched an airplane. The skills transfer perfectly.
Kung Fu Comedy Workshop -- Fighting and Falling with Style
I'll teach you to take a hit, sell a fall, and make the audience laugh while you're in pain. We use chairs, ladders, and tables as props -- everything in the room is a weapon and a punchline. Tip: Always show the whole body. Wide shots let the audience see the skill. Close-ups are for actors who can't fight.
Pattern Recognition Seminar -- Finding Order in Chaos
Small group (max 4). Not just chemistry -- the skill of finding patterns in any dataset. I will give you messy data and teach you to sort, classify, and predict. The periodic table was a pattern recognition exercise. The same skill applies to business data, medical records, financial trends, or any complex system.
Soldering & Circuit Building Workshop
Learn to solder, read circuit diagrams, and build a working electronic project. Through-hole components on perfboard. I built my first TV transmitter in a rented apartment. You will build something simpler but learn the same fundamental skill.
Woodworking Jig & Fixture Building
Build a jig that produces identical parts every time. The jig transfers skill from craftsman to tool. A skilled worker makes one perfect piece. A jig lets anyone make a thousand.
Scientific Observation Skills -- Seeing What Others Miss
Small group (max 4). I will train your eye to notice anomalies. We will examine slides, cultures, and experiments looking for the unexpected. The mould on my petri dish was an anomaly. A hundred scientists would have thrown it away. I looked closer. The most important words in science are not Eureka -- they are That is funny.
Classic Hollywood Makeup Kit (1940s Natural Look)
The 1940s 'no makeup' look actually required extraordinary skill. Soft foundation, natural brow, minimal eye, rosy lip. This kit replicates the golden-age Hollywood look that Selznick's makeup artists created for me. Includes application guide.
