This week was a pretty momentous week for me, all things considered – I moved into the week with a few new students, started a TikTok feed… And managed to finally start a Facebook Page (please like and support!) and managed to collect about 7 reviews from the parents who’ve worked with me. Haven’t really started collecting reviews from my current crop of students just yet, but hope to do so when we start getting
