First Lesson
George’s approach is one of understanding the students’ needs and desires; some people will need structured lesson plans dividing the lesson up into clear and easy-to-navigate paths, and others require slightly more freedom and space to find their way through a task/material. It is so important to George that the student feels empowered through making creative decisions of his or her own. This can prove incredibly rewarding and hence encouraging towards further progress. Lessons are fun, creative and encouraging!
