Hello Katie – I am brand new to going solo as a teacher – I currently teach for a company. So I still have a bit of a way to go before I can start on my own. Part of my ‘education in going solo’ is to familiarise and see what curriculums are out there. From the short time I have spent looking, Abridge looks to be the most suitable for me so far. It is also great that you provide Trial lessons.
Kind regards Deborah
Hi Deborah, thanks so much for your lovely comment! It’s great to hear you love the curriculum and are getting started teaching your own private students online 🙂 ~Katie
