    3. Is there a contact number for the Sarqit Michigan location? I tried the contact form on the website but have not heard anything back. I am looking for a teacher in West Michigan. Thanks.

    4. Hi Karyn-

      I'm sorry for the wait. As far as I can tell, the Contact Form is the best way to get a hold of them. If nothing else, you could make the drive and talk to them.

      Cheers,

      Terran

    5. I sent an email this afternoon to confirm, but I don't think they're in Michigan any more. It sounds like he moved to Denver.
