Adam

Hello! I am a piano and languages tutor originally from London. I have a BA (Hons) in German and Portuguese from Oxford and am just finishing an MA in International Studies at SOAS.

I started playing the piano at 6, and I currently speak around 5 languages to varying degrees of fluency. I love sharing these passions with others.

I was never the best or most motivated student at school (I know about bad reports and falling behind!), so I really enjoy helping people of all ages realise their own ability.

Subjects that I tutor:

PIANO up to intermediate. I took Grade 8 piano aged 13, but as an adult have matured as a pianist and now love it more than ever. I love passing on my enthusiasm for the instrument.

GERMAN all levels. I received a congratulatory letter for getting one of the highest national results in Pre-U German (A Level equivalent). I went on to study German at Oxford University, and have lived in Berlin.

PORTUGUESE all levels. I studied Portuguese at Oxford University where I was awarded a Distinction. I have lived in Brazil and have written for BBC Brasil, in Portuguese of course.

MUSIC up to GCSE. I have an A* in GCSE Music as well as Grade 8 in two musical instruments.

I can also assist with Oxbridge admissions process and general university entrance, as well as the independent school Common Entrance 13+ admissions process.
