"Both Tharan and Julie are exceptionally talented professionals who genuinely care about your progress as a student. One of the things I love about their teaching style is their genuine interest and care in each and every student’s potential - I’ve been able to build my confidence back up, largely in part, due to their encouraging and uplifting coaching style. I can honestly say I left every class feeling better and looking forward to the next! Thank you for providing a safe and welcoming space for everyone!"
