Hello Natasha and Everyone!

Yes. I do offer private instruction with me online, over the telephone  
and Skype...so if you would like to schedule an appointment with me,  
write to me privately and we can find a time that will work for both  
of us. Do you have a Skype account? It is free and an easy way for us  
to communicate face to face and/or voice to voice...doesn't matter  
where we are in the world...it is free if you have an internet  
connection...

Download Skype software:
http://www.Skype.com

once you download Skype, setup an account, and hopefully, if you can,  
get a web cam so we can use the video feature and see each other face  
to face...

Sometime next week would be fine...write to me to schedule an  
appointment...

It will be fun to meet you face to face!
