Maureen Vild | Private Instructor

Newport Beach, CA, USA

Rated 4.9/5 by 2 students

The most common feedback I received from my students is "You are so calm and explain things in a simple manner to where it is easily understood. I believe though, that the experience of "doing" in many cases outweighs the explanation. My focus is to empower first, educate second. Bring each student to a place of complete competence which leads to confidence! More importantly, it's all about the experience, and to have fun along with the feeling of accomplishing something beyond expectations.
