MTCA is proud to serve students worldwide with a coaching team that brings a wealth of international experience. While all our coaches have received training at competitive American institutions, they also bring the valuable perspectives of their international backgrounds. These coaches all have training at the American institutions that so many of our students are looking to train at, but bring the unique experience and perspective that their international roots have lent them. Alongside being able to help you artistically, our coaches can also help you with the elements of the process that are unique to the international college audition experience.
