Report
Ray and Suzanne have been more than accommodating with my busy schedule. But that's not the only reason I enjoy working with Braselton's. Ray is one of the better teacher's I have worked with. He is kind, patient, firm when required, but his best characteristic is that he is flexible enough to read the student and modify how the lessons are proceeding based on the progress of the student. A rare trait indeed. I thoroughly enjoy each and every lesson and I will continue to work with him.
