Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I customize the training program of my students according to their personal goals and necessities. I go on a call ahead of the first session. I introduce the basic principles and gradually build up to more advanced and specific skills according to the client's pace of progression. I integrate specific drills and scenarios that match the client's necessity with fun games and challenging exercises.
