Lisa has an incredible reputation as a private teacher! There are literally pages and pages of student testimonials speaking of her enthusiasm, passion, and encouraging manner as well as her ability to inspire, to offer a personal experience, and to help achieve goals. One excerpt is particularly poignant and accurate and is as follows:
