Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have individual approach for each student. I have experience preparing pupils for exams, festivals, exams, concerts. My goal is to keep student excited about piano playing. There is no one method for all. If student likes something and is excited to reach goals they will do more work to achieve it.

I held Masters degree in piano performance. I have won several international competitions and had many awards and scholarships trough out my studies. I have been teaching piano for 10years both children and adult. I have many contemporary pieces in my repertoire and had many opportunities to work with living composers.


Also can offer lessons at my place in Lewisham, 3min walk from station.
