Miriam was able to pick right back up where we left off after a long hiatus due to personal reasons and made the lesson pertinent and meaningful. She is always exceptionally patient and does her best to answer the plethora of questions I bombard her with. Would recommend her to others and as always I am looking forward to our next lesson!
