Just completed my trial lesson with Melissa and now I can't wait to get started with my real classes! She has a great energy about her, asked lots of questions to assess my level and understanding and made sure that any future learning would be completely personalised and tailored to me exactly the way I want is and to get the most out of the sessions. I felt at ease from the first moment.
