Mary was great to work with. She was smart, caring, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable. She explained things great, and was supportive the many times I made a mistake 😅. My confidence went up after only a few lessons and I can’t wait to keep going. Thanks, Mary!!

RUN as fast as you can from her !
Booked in April for a June party CONFIRMED with Mary last week she canceled tonight saying she took another job. Explained I booked two months ago and confirmed she replied no deposit left She never asked for a deposit I would have been happy to leave one. Then got snarky she is not to be trusted if anyone doesn’t believe the review and or wants proof text me will be happy to share all correspondence

Mary Papa's reply
Actually, that day my husband was at the Long Island Jewish hospital, as he chocked by steak. I was not at my best communication or mental stage. Regardless, my bad and my apologies again.
