"Kuh-leel". Please remember that my first name is Kahlil, and my last name is Joseph, exactly as it appears on the page. So kindly call me either "Kahlil" or "Mr. Joseph" and not "Joseph" or "Mr. Kahlil"; . (Think about it. If your name is clearly written as James Jenson or Megan Smith, and I call you "Jenson" or "Smith", especially in a professional relationship, it would be rude.)

Thank you for understanding. 

Our home office is located in West Los Angeles in the 90025 zip code, conveniently close to the intersection of I-405 and Santa Monica Blvd. 

PLEASE NOTE: For the instructor's safety, the home office address will be provided on the morning of your 1st appointment, due to a few flakey (and strange) folks making an appointment and then not showing up AND not calling.

We prefer a phone call because:

- it is more personal. In this age of excess texting and email, we prefer to have a sense of who you are through a conversation; after all, you will be coming here to learn or improve on some aspect of verbal and face-to-face communication.  

- we get a strong sense of your personality. Please keep in mind that we are evaluating you as much as you are evaluating us during this phone call. We like to coach pleasant folks who are easy to deal with, and redirect "high maintenance types" elsewhere. 



• Great attitude
• Friendly and polite
• Punctual and respectful of our time and boundaries
• Does the homework

Kahlil can be the easiest coach to work with, when it comes to scheduling appointments during weekdays, and is very warm and encouraging. However, if you do not take the work seriously, or have a poor attitude, Kahlil will be direct with you. Simple solution: Show up with a good attitude, practice, do your homework, be on time, call/text the coach immediately if you need to cancel/reschedule your appointment, offer prompt payment without fail on your lesson's completion; then, we will get along wonderfully! Simple stuff.

CASH only, and in the exact amount of your lesson, as we do not carry change. This is only for your first time, however, and you will certainly be given a receipt if you ask.

Cash is always easier; however, once we have gotten to know you a bit after your first lesson, we do also accept checks. Kindly keep in mind that we will charge any fees incurred by us if your check bounces (is returned).

We don't. 

Yes, on a case-by-case basis, depending on whether both the coach and client feel that the goal can be achieved. Various factors are considered, from internet connections to how you respond to coaching to the level of your experience.

NOTE: For all online lessons, payment needs to be made via Paypal just before the lesson begins. 

This answer needs to be truthfully given on a case-by-case basis, depending on many factors, such as:

- The number of lessons you can take per week. In any field you are undertaking training (playing a musical instrument, physical fitness, learning a language, mathematics, sciences, etc.), your progress will usually occur based on the time commitment you can put in on a weekly basis. It is reasonable to assume that the more time you can manage to train with a coach, along with doing your homework assignments, you can make progress accordingly. 

- The individual. For accent training, different people have different abilities to mimic and understand sounds and speech different from what they are used to; for acting and audition training, some people have natural abilities to draw on their heightened emotional states, while others need to learn techniques that work for them; for combat, different people have different physical attributes and physical conditioning. 

- Retaining the material. Each person takes a different amount of time to absorb and retain the material taught, which accordingly plays a role in advancing.

We would love it if you contacted us with your question. We will add it to this page, along with our answer. Of course, we will leave your name out of the inquiry, so, ask away!
