I had Ana for my 3yo child. I already tried a couple of teachers for my child but was not easy to meet the right fit. However I found Ana the best teacher for young children and my daughter truly enjoyed and was involved! Looking forward to taking her next lesson soon!

Ana did a fantastic job determining the level of my kids. They were happy after the lesson! She also was happy to supplement her class with materials we already have home and have been using. I'm very pleased.
