RDV students' testimonial to Lora Staples:



I have had a couple of real life, in-person violin teachers in the past whom I’ve paid a considerable amount of money to. However, I’ve already (week one), learnt an awful lot of things which neither of them taught me (and which I’m pretty annoyed about!). I can only imagine how I’ll have been transformed in 7 months time… the neighbours should thank Lora anyway. ... Lora has been very prompt answering my numerous beginner questions and the videos have been very informative (as has the ability to watch them over and over again without seeming dumb as you would with a real life tutor).

You are very special, as a professional teacher well as a person. (After trying three teachers, I know how important it is to be the right person before being the right teacher). You have a vision and are truly prepared to be successful on your new avenue/ adventure of online teaching, even though you are still exploring the technical part. You are insightful with solid experience yet open minded. I tried to apply your guide "EFERD" (Efficient, Effective, Focused, Result-Driven- sorry, I changed the order to make the abbreviations sound like the word "effort")a couple of days ago on my son's home practice, and it worked almost immediately. You confirmed lots of my thoughts. I wish I could see you in person.
