£20 per hour.

- Where do you teach?

I am equally capable of teaching in my home studio or I am happy to travel to you.

- When are you available?

Evenings during the week and on weekends all year.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

My background is in undergraduate and postgraduate level teaching which means I am ideally suited to teach students who are progressing through an undergraduate music technology related programme up to postgrad level masters work. However, I am also able to tutor younger students through the transition from A-Level into undergraduate work which can often be a challenging and rocky progression.

I am also keen to explore the more practical uses of technology that the older student might be more keen to learn.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I am currently teaching up to postgraduate level so I am able to prepare students for all kinds of qualifications from A-level right through university to masters level and beyond.
