For adult students, I use the Faber Faber method book that provides an overall comprehensive and fast pace lesson style. Read More

With all of my students I am kind, patient, gentle, humorous, encouraging, and positive with my feedback.

I support whatever pace students choose to employ, and tailor my instruction to their needs and wants. Read More
