About Sophie
I have been teaching the piano for 15 years as a private teacher.
I taught the piano and Theory/ Ear-training ( what we call Formation Musicale or “Solfège” in France) for 4 years in music schools in the suburbs of Paris, before moving to Bordeaux and studying lyrical singing and choir direction. I have since worked in the Regional Conservatory of Bordeaux for three years. Since 2020 I am Assistant Choir Director at Croydon Minster and Director of Music at St Mary Balham.

I teach in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere, with simplicity. At the same time, I’m committed to helping each of my students become independent. After all, the goal is not to take lessons forever!
Sight-reading, understanding the score and musical style, and developing your own interpretation will be the core of our work together.
Grades can be prepared.
Please note: I do not offer home visits.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Sophie.
Perfect! Sophie is a brilliant piano teacher. We focussed on both hands from the beginning and I found that I was able to quickly progress under Sophie’s guidance. Lessons always had a fun atmosphere but with a clear focus. Would definitely recommend!
Perfect! Excellent tutor and very professional. Sophie takes teaching very seriously and my kids have already started to improve their piano. Couldn't recommend enough.
Perfect! An amazing piano teacher for my 4 year old son and teaches him in French. Sophie know how to make the session interesting to keep him engaged and works around the students capability to support their learning.
Perfect! Sophie is a very positive and friendly teacher!
Perfect! Well structured and clear instructions.
Perfect! Sophie is a wonderful teacher and a very welcoming and friendly person. She is patient and encouraging and I'm pleased I picked her as a tutor!
Perfect! Sophie has a very effective method of teaching you straight away to work on controlling your left and right hands autonomously; having had lessons as a kid many years ago I had to literally re-start again from zero and I can see how her method benefits me from moving quickly towards a good mastering of the basic knowledge. Since session one I thoroughly enjoyed classes with Sophie and I look forward to further improving my skills!
Perfect! First session, very good and very clear. She asked my aim and my skills, also she clarified her method and what she can do or not do for me. Very helpful and nice
Perfect! Sophie is a very patient and methodical teacher and always nice to talk to! Would recommend:)
Perfect! Sophie is an amazing tutor! My son really enjoys her lessons and asks for more. She is very patient with attention to details. Highly recommended !
Perfect! I have been taking regular lessons with Sophie for few Months now, and I find her approach and positive personality really helpful in keeping me passionate about learning the piano. She is patient and focuses the session on progress not perfection, at the same time I get encouraged to go the extra mile. The lessons are fun too. I'm enjoying my progress and so committed that I replaced my key board with an upright piano, what a difference! Again thanks to Sophie for being generous with her time visiting a number of stores with me, to help me pick the right one. I highly recommend her :-)

Sophie is an excellent music tutor. She took on my daughter who had no piano experience and made her feel comfortable, working at her pace. She included a range of exercises including reading, writing and singing notes as well as playing. Sophie is a very knowledgeable tutor but also works very well with children. My daughter had an great experience with Sophie and I would highly recommend her!
Hello my name is Marvin and I have been learning with Sophie for some months now. I have been enjoying my lessons a lot and learning many different things about piano and music.
Sophie is a very friendly and knowledgeable teacher, she works hard to teach me all she can and gives me a wide variety of sheet music to learn as well as correcting any kinds of mistakes and habbits she sees.
I would highly recommend Sophie to others to take on as a a tutor if they are looking to learn piano.
Perfect! My 13-year-old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Sophie (online) for a year and a half and we are really satisfied. My daughter took piano lessons in person with a private teacher and at the conservatory for 5 years before meeting Sophie. Although the course is virtual, it is of excellent quality, and Sophie teaches with great consistency and patience. Marion quickly improves, she is encouraged, and at the same time, Sophie smoothly challenges her. The lessons are fluid and take place in a good atmosphere, my daughter enjoys playing and learning.
After the success with my daughter, my son has also started piano courses remotely. He is a full beginner and I am literally impressed by his progress. Sophie's methodology combined with her soft skills are really efficient and clever, and my child really enjoys music and his piano lesson. I fully recommend Sophie without reserve.Sophie started teaching my son after the lockdown. He is a total beginner and has come on so quickly. I’m a professional musician myself and I rate her really highly. She has given my son repertoire that has sparked his enthusiasm whilst not over stretching him and putting him off. He’s learning to sightread and to play with musicality from the first lesson. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s also a great combination of very lovely and warm in personality but also she demands a high standard.
I have been taking lessons with Sophie for a year now and I am very satisfied! I had learned the piano for 3 years when I was a teenager. I started again late in life... (at 59) and I can only congratulate myself for having chosen Sophie: she is patient, caring but also very strict and competent. Without her, I would not have been able to tackle some of the pieces that were important to me: problems of fingering, rhythm and interpretation. I must also say that having my lessons on video is not a problem at all.
Sophie is a fantastic teacher, it's really fun to learn piano with her. She is very patient and provide you with amazing tips and suggestions how to improv and play better. I highly recommend her :)
