Private Lessons (By Invitation)
For students ready to take ownership of their learning.
Private lessons are not where we begin.
They are offered to students who demonstrate readiness for deeper, focused growth.
This is not about playing more.
It’s about learning how to think, practice, and improve independently.
Private lessons are not for faster results.
They are for deeper learning.
This is for students who:
-
Practice consistently at home
-
Can follow guidance independently
-
Are curious about improving—not just playing
-
Are ready to take ownership of their learning
This may not be the right starting point if:
-
You are just getting started
-
You need constant step-by-step direction
-
Practice at home is inconsistent
How We Evaluate Readiness for Private Lessons
Before accepting new private students, we use a short evaluation process.
This helps us understand not just what your child can play—
but how they think, approach challenges, and learn independently.
Step 1 — Preparation
(3 Days Before)
You will receive a short piece to work on at home.
Students are expected to:
-
Try independently
-
Work through challenges
-
Practice consistently over 3 days
Step 2 — Trial Lesson & Evaluation
During the lesson, we observe:
-
How much progress was made independently
-
How the student approaches challenges
-
Their ability to follow and apply feedback
We will also ask simple theory questions
to understand their learning foundation.
Step 3 — Recommendation
Based on the evaluation, we will recommend:
-
Private Lessons (if ready for deeper guidance)
-
Foundation Group Learning (if more structure is needed first)
