I tutor mostly evenings during the week, and daytime at weekends.

I have experience in teaching from 11yrs. through to adults of all ages

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I have experience preparing students for ABRSM examinations through to Grade 8 (piano) and Grade 5 (music theory), as well as less conventional routes of musical development for pupils with alternative learning objectives.

Academically, my tutoring helps students prepare for GCSE and A-level Music & Music technology examinations, and I am able to guide pupils through and help them prepare for university entrance examinations.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

My aim has always been to provide an enjoyable, engaging and high standard of teaching, and to provide pupils with a solid musical background and sound performance skills to enable them to confidently face any level of examination successfully.

With over 10 years experience in teaching both groups and individuals, I'm enthusiastic, flexible and patient. I enjoy facilitating and encouraging learning at all levels and thrive on seeing students gain satisfaction through their own progress. You are more than welcome to email or call me to discuss further your needs.
