“Jo has been an extremely helpful and supportive coach for Amelie. She has taken time to listen to Amelie’s specific needs and areas for development and has worked with these. It has really helped us that she is extremely discreet and can listen to the details of a project and interpret how best to guide and work with Amelie. She has also been very flexible with lesson timings and even lessons over FaceTime. Above all Jo makes lessons fun, enjoyable, and builds confidence with her lovely warm supportive approach.”
