Background

- What kind of experience do you have?

VIOLIN - I started playing the violin at the age of 7. In terms of teaching experience, I started teaching small children at the age of 16 and I have a very high knowledge of several teaching techniques. At the moment, I am happy to teach the violin to people of any age and at any level, although, I have a very wide experience with children as I started teaching them at a very young age. I have been taught how to deal with lessons and how to make them fun and enjoyable as well as interesting and productive.

SPANISH - I am a spanish native speaker who has been giving spanish lessons for a few years and who has also gone through A-level spanish exams in England so I am also experienced in teaching this language and knowing what schools in England ask for. This does not only mean that I can teach people that want to learn spanish as a hobby but also the people that are preparing for an exam. I am happy to teach this language at any level.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes

- Where and with whom did you train?

I started playing the violin with Ara Vartanian in Malaga and started my musical studies in the Professional Conservatoire in Malaga. I moved to London in 2007 where I got a place to study at The Purcell School of Music (Bushey) with a scholarship and where I studied with Evgeny Grach (soloist of the London Symphony Orchestra) for four years. I finished my BMus degree at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2015 with professor Ofer Falk.
