I am a warm and enthusiastic teacher who enjoys supporting her students to achieve the highest standards possible. My own love of music-making developed very organically. I do not come from a musical family, but when I heard the visiting cello teacher practising in the primary school hall when I was nine years old, I was immediately hooked! Everything I have achieved since then has been through sheer hard work and determination, and I know how to instil these qualities in my students.

My musical efforts and abilities have taken me all over the world, including Venice, Paris, Gibraltar, Milan and Hong Kong. The performing arts can open so many new doors for people, and now I want to make even more students aware that these opportunities exist.

Whilst I do offer in-person lessons for singing, cello and piano, I am primarily looking to take on more ABRSM Music Theory students online at the moment. However, please get in touch anyway to find out about my availabiity for theory or vocal/instrumental lessons.

Tutoring Experience:

• ABRSM Pass Rate 100%
• GCSE Music results August 2025: all 8s and 9s
• Current singing student now a paid member of Royal Opera House Youth Company
• Former academic student now at Magdalen College, Oxford with Choral Scholarship

Tutoring Approach:

• Please note: for cello lessons, you must be able to provide your own instrument.
• Please note: for piano lessons to take place at your home, you must own a piano or good quality keyboard.

My approach to music tuition is all about striking the balance between playfulness and progress. There is no sense in learning a musical instrument/skill if the experience does not bring you enjoyment, but at the same time we must realise that nothing worthwhile is without its challenges.

All too often, students come to me for the first time, explaining that they can't seem to fix a particular section of music, despite having played the piece over and over again at home. The reason they are making little progress is because they have been practising and embedding their mistakes! We must learn to be musical doctors, diagnosing the root of each challenge, so that we can make fixes and reinforce good habits as quickly and easily as possible. Once students come to realise this, their music practice immediately becomes less daunting and much more fun!
