I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Edgar! He is very patient and maintained a pace that felt comfortable for my level of understanding. He answered each of my questions providing clear explanations for the rules. He also identified common mistakes to be mindful of, and offered tips for remembering certain things.
Gary F.

Another strength Daniella uses is her patience. As a student you can feel pressure and anxiety as you make the mistakes that students make and Daniella is very patient in correcting what you are doing and saying. In short, Daniella has the ability to establish a productive and comfortable environment. After an upcoming trip to Florence, Italy I look forward to pursuing more classes.
