Ju-Lee H
We've been with Ju-lee for over two years now - wow how time flies. I don't know why it took me so long to write a review. Must be because I don't usually write one. We've been with Ju-lee on an ad-hoc basis and she has prepared my daughter for exams, private schools, grammar school and concerts. First lesson with her she brought out this long 'master' sheet that alarmed my daughter and I. I thought she was never going to be able to do that. But Ju-lee knew what she was doing, she broke them down and taught in manageable bits and we were both astounded. Ju-lee knows her stuff and is understanding and patient. Thank you for all your guidance and directions. You are much appreciated.
