In order for that to happen, it is crucial that each student moves and progresses at his or her own pace.

I always try my best to discover what inspires and motivates my students, so that I can successfully tailor my instruction towards that. Read More

With adults I am more open to suggestions and requests, basing their lessons more on their interest as well as their progress. Read More
