Quite an extensive list that will go on for more than two years! Of course if there are those of you that see ones you would like me to do, or would like a masterclass on a topic you do not see on this list, please let me know. Teachers might also want to have certain ones done (or suggest other ones), at their schools for their students. I am certainly open and happy to this! The price would have to be negotiated. 

I hope these prices are doable for most people. From what I have seen around the place, I feel they are reasonable especially considering their depth of content, live interaction and approach that they come with. If someone is truly in need, please get in touch with me. 

Hope to see you at some of these soon!
