With 25 years of experience teaching in a variety of educational establishments and situations, I have been commended throughout my career for my authoritative, knowledgeable and openly receptive approach to students under my tuition. From an early age I have always had a passion for all kinds of music and studied piano and guitar, as well as formal music theory and history up to, and at, university in Bath. After graduating from university with a BA music degree I decided to continue my training and become a fully qualified teacher gaining Post Graduate Certificate in Education, allowing me to teach in schools as well as privately and in colleges. I gained further qualifications at Masters level by gaining a Post Graduate Diploma in music specialising in musicology and music research. This has given me essential skills in tutoring students at university level.
I have been a teacher for 25 years and have taught privately, in schools and in colleges.I have experience in teaching pupils of all ages from primary age to adult; small group, whole classroom and one-to-one situations.
I have continually been commended on my ability to engage students in their studies, whether in instrumental lessons or academic work. I have been commended by teachers, parents and students alike.
My specialist areas of tuition are instrumental piano and guitar, music theory and history, and pastoral tuition including PSHE.
I have been commended throughout my career for my authoritative, knowledgeable and openly receptive approach to students under my tuition. Although I facilitate learning through years of varied experience, I always allow the student to take responsibility for their own learning and show that I love to learn with them
