Can you tell us what you perceive as the professor's strong points?
It's hard to come up with phrases of praises without knowing anything
about the professor and what his best qualities might be. The more we
know, the better we will be able to assist you.

To whom it may concern:

He is not a loud person, preferring to let his art speak for him. Of
him, it speaks very eloquently indeed. He has always encouraged his
students to fly, yet has kept his feet on the ground, in order to
guide anyone home should they fly too far. His ability to see the
world through the eyes of a child, and still remain an adult, is a
rare and valuable trait, one that is not shared by many. Because he is
able to bridge the great divide that separates children from adults,
he can very easily relate to both at their respective levels. This
makes him an especially good tutor, able to not only impart the
lessons of his many years of experience, but also to impart them in a
language they can understand and trust. In a world that sometimes
forces kids to grow up too soon, he reminds us (and everyone) that
there is still a magic in theater, in fantasy and whimsy and drama. In
a world where many in the acting profession have chosen brash and
'over the top' characters, he remains a paragon of pure theater, a man
truly deserving of the term 'thespian.'

Some people can act, and others teach drama -- he is one of the very
few that can do both equally as well.
