Testimonials
Jullian is an exceptional teacher. Over many years as a player, coach, and instructor of our improv curriculum, the Canadian Improv Games has been lucky to have him. A high level of skill combined with educational background and incredible sense of empathy and acceptance makes Jullian the prefect fit for groups of all sizes and experiences. Our mandate includes shining a positive light on those who may not normally get the chance to explore or take the stage, and Jullian has made this happen time and time again. Making sure to build confidence and skill while creating a space where it is safe to learn, fail and be yourself is rare. It is also something I know and trust Jullian to create. If you are brushing up your skills for the stage, working on confidence or communication or just trying something new, I would highly recommend Jullian being a part of it.

Jullian was a natural leader in the classroom, and always curious to learn more. He engaged in discussions and group work with a lot of enthusiasm, challenging his own thinking and building strong relationships with his peers and instructors. His natural confidence made him a very effective public speaker. I wish him every success in his communications career!
