I have been playing the piano since the age of 2! I hope to help others onto a path that I have so enjoyed.

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach piano and music theory. Lessons can be given in French and English.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I gained a 1st in Music Informatics at Sussex University and received the School of Media, Film and Music prize for my end of year recital. I received and A and A* for music A-level and GCSE respectively. I have recently completed a Master of Music degree from the Royal Academy of Music where I also gained their teaching qualification: LRAM

What kind of experience do you have?
I have experience teaching adult and child students privately from ages ranging 7 to 50 for almost 5 years. My current students have a broad range of standards and experience, from beginner, to ABRSM diploma level.

How much do you charge?
I charge £50 pounds per hour.

Where do you teach?
Lessons usually take place at my home in London, SW10 area. My teaching room has an upright Welmar piano and a Yamaha Clavinova. The student will play the Welmar upright while I demonstrate and/or accompany from the clavinova. This allows for a smoother lesson with no need for swapping places all the time! The closest underground station is Earl`s Court. I am happy to travel to the student`s home provided they live close by.

When are you available?
Please contact me to discuss availability. I am quite flexible and I also teach weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach piano to students of all standards, from complete beginner to post grade 8. I teach music theory from grades 1 to 8.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
Should the student request it, I am able to prepare them for ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall grade exams from 1 through 8 in both piano and music theory.

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

Where and with whom did you train?
I spent 4 years at Chetham`s School of Music studying piano with Jonathan Middleton. During university I studied piano with Hilary Coates for 3 years. Over the years I have played to highly renowned pianists such as Vovka Ashkenazy, Martin Roscoe, Kathryn Stott and Christopher Elton. During my postgraduate course at the Royal Academy of Music I studied with Carole Presland.

Do you have a personal message for students?
I offer flexible piano lessons in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I understand that most beginners are eager to learn pieces as quickly as possible and I am happy to focus my lessons on teaching pieces rather than getting caught up in finger exercises and theory!
