CUSTOMIZED CURRICULUM Together we'll establish specific goals with a timeline for completion. Then, a detailed course of study will be designed specifically for you.

ORGANIZATION You'll get a binder to keep all lesson notes, handouts, resource materials, practice goals and curriculum.

TEAM SESSIONS Take sessions with a friend and SAVE MONEY. Many topics work well in teams of 2-3, or in small classes of 4-8 or more.

INTERNET VIDEO CONFERENCING SESSIONS You can take sessions from anywhere in the world through internet video conferencing! (Ask Michele for specific info on technical setup. It's simple.)

SUPPORT Contact Michele in between sessions for questions or support on meeting your goals.
