Amanda has been our teacher for almost two years and we are very impressed with her creative and engaging teaching style. Teaching an 8-year-old and keeping them attentive and engaged throughout the lessons are no easy jobs. Amanda is always patient, encouraging, and incorporating elements that are suitable for younger students. High recommended!
