Lisa's Courses

My Courses

My teaching style is patient and friendly, yet always gently challenging the student to do  more than they think they can. Lessons are  customized to fit needs and requests for each student. 

I will discuss the goals and preferences of the student and parents to determine how to best modify the lessons for your child’s learning success.
