After studying at Cass Tech High School and Wayne State University in MI, I have enjoyed teaching privately, in groups, and at churches, I have performed vocally and instrumentally throughout the US and in 8 foreign countries, and taught at public, charter, and private schools. It is important to tailor each lesson to a student's individual needs and ability to ensure that their experience is as rewarding as possible!

My first experience was great and she was so patience and very professional. She makes it easy it just depends on you as individual how much you want to accomplish. Looking forward to week 2!

She's good
