"I believe in establishing a relationship with both student and parent that is based on trust and open communication to ensure that they get the most out of being a part of our program. I coach with all aspects of education in mind by addressing the individual student's needs so that they progress at their own pace; I believe this is the most effective method in building a capable, confident child that looks forward to coming to a class that challenges them, and best of all, has fun!"
