Very calm, friendly and accomodating to students and parents.

I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More

I am easy-going and understanding but I expect all my students to practise from one lesson to the next and I always set clear and realistic goals. Read More

Not every student progresses at the same rate, but I keep my expectations and spirits high to push students to want to keep learning and working hard to accomplish their goals. Read More
