“Greg is not only an excellent teacher but an excellent mentor. He takes time in getting to know his students and is dedicated to them and their improvement. He gives individual corrections to let everyone in the room know they are seen. With his unique sense of humor he doesn’t take anything too seriously which allows students to connect with him and automatically feel comfortable.”
