I have been studying with Polina for almost a month now, and I really enjoy her teaching style. She is very patient, explains everything clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. Polina creates a calm and supportive atmosphere during the lessons, so I never feel afraid to make mistakes. I am definitely going to continue our lessons.
