"James's lesson was quite good. He’s very friendly and takes his time talking and teaching my son, which I appreciated. Though, I’d like to see continued focus on making his swing more natural because that’s still a work in progress. Still, I feel hopeful that with more practice, the swing will become smoother. If you’re after a calm, supportive environment, I’d suggest giving James a try, you might find his way of teaching quite helpful.
