I’m currently finishing my MA in Vocal Studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance while continuing to work as a professional singer and singing, piano and EFL teacher. I graduated with a 2.1 in Music at Kings College London in 2014, majoring in Performance and did my CELTA immediately afterwards. I have achieved ABRSM grade 8 in Singing, Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano and ABRSM diploma in Singing. As a soloist I regularly sing operatic roles and solos within oratorio works, as well as performing in recitals and concerts. I sing professionally in many London-based choirs.

Availability: Weekdays, Evenings

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I teach many pupils singing and piano privately in the area around Blackheath and Lewisham. I also teach singing at Greenwich Music School, Harvington Preparatory School and music classes for Early Years for the Little London Music School.

I’m an experienced teacher of all different levels and teach classical, musical theatre and pop genres. I teach singing and piano to a very wide age range of pupils, from 5 years old to all ages of adult learners.

My teaching experience started with a strong private practice in London and later in Aylesbury. I have worked as a singing and piano teacher for the Buckinghamshire Music Trust and in primary and secondary schools in the Buckinghamshire area, such as The Misbourne School in Great Missenden. I have also taught larger singing classes for Stagecoach and have worked as a deputy teacher for various Saturday music schools, which included large classes of Music Theory and the Kodaly method.

I have delivered musical workshops in schools for children with learning difficulties and care homes for the elderly.

I also work as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language to both children and adults. I taught English and Business English at Wall Street English in Stuttgart. I have also worked in various English language schools in London and on summer camps, such as NCG. I have taught English to all ages and have taught from complete beginner to CEFR level C1. I have trained and entered pupils for PET, Trinity Speaking Exams and TOEFL.
