Perfect! Been working with Despina for 3 months now, and she's been gracious and patient. She is flexible and able to adapt to different situations. I, as a student, have quite a busy timetable, but Dispina was able to adapt hers to mine, which I am grateful for.
Apart from that, her lessons are also very nicely adapted to the student. She is takes the student into account, and teaches accordingly. The atmosphere she provides is perfect for learning, and as a nervous person, I found that the lessons provided a comfortable safe space for learning the guitar.
I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons in the past three months, and I look forward in continuing with her, until I accomplish my goal. I would definitely recommend choosing her as a Guitar teacher, as she is skilled in her practice and has plenty of experience. She will definitely provide the correct guidance to achieve your respective goals.- William is an excellent, attentive student. It is a pleasure to work with William :)See the response Despina :
