Leo is an inspiring and loving theatre educator who has taught in the U.S. and in Taiwan for nearly a decade. He currently teaches at the B.F.A. Musical Theatre Program at

Marymount Manhattan College and New York City Center. 

Teaching is one of the best ways to re-educate ourselves and give back to the community. As an educator, Leo never ceases pursuing new knowledge, skills, and goals. He uses his own experiences, struggles, and success stories to guide and encourage his students. 

Leo pays close attention to each student’s individuality, encourages them to find their unique sparks, and helps them shine. His classroom is a safe and non-judgemental environment where you can explore, experiment, take risks, and grow. 

Let’s learn together; play together, and flourish together.

Other major teaching credits include La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego State University, Grossmont College, International Thespian Festival, and other State Thespian Festivals.
