About this pro

Simon is the nicest and most down to earth coach I have ever had in any field I have been coached in. He really understands what it is you want from the lessons and doesn't waste time bullshitting and selling himself. If you want a coach who provides you with what you want and ends up being a friend of yours too, then Simon is your best choice. He is also super smart, which only makes the time spent with him more motivating.
