I am a violin masters student at the Royal Academy of Music. I am passionate about music and I love sharing it with people. I am very outgoing, kind, responsible, organised and punctual. I play the violin professionally and I learnt the viola and piano at school at an A-Level`s level. The music history and theory were obligatory at my school and I excelled at those subjects. At the moment I am completing the LRAM teaching diploma from the Royal Academy of Music.
I am half-Tunisian and half-Russian, however, I lived in Poland for the majority of my life. I speak English, Polish and Russian fluently, and I can converse in French.
I enjoy working with children as they tend to enjoy music a lot and for me the paramount importance lies in getting children interested in music and showing them that it is fun (and they do not have to become professionals, if that is not their plan). I also enjoy working with adults as it brings me a lot of satisfaction to see happy people who know that they have acquired a new skill and that they can enjoy their free time by playing some music.
I have been an active violin, viola, piano and music theory teacher since 2015.

Availability: I am very flexible with my time and I can usually adjust to the new student.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been teaching children (from 4 years old) and adults (so far 25-35 years old) since 2015. I am very good at communicating with children and adults. I teach violin (ABRSM grades 1-8), viola (ABRSM grades 1-8) and piano (up to ABRSM grade 4). I understand that not everybody wants to do ABRSM grades and I can accommodate other preferences, I can help with learning popular music or learning a favourite tune from a movie.
I also teach music theory and history at a very high level. It is also a part of my instrumental lessons to introduce the music basics to my students.
