Tutoring Experience:

I love teaching which I have started being on a postgraduate course at Moscow conservatory. My teachings and Master- classis include Trinity College in London and Arnhem Conservatory in Holland.
I also regularly teach on a one-to-one basis. I am familiar with the ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall examination syllabuses and students who wish to do so are able to study for piano exams, although these are by no means compulsory.I'm also prepare students for entrance exams to the Conservatory and for the final recitals.

Tutoring Approach:

I always carefully plan the individual program for every pupil taking into account their starting point, reasons for learning and preferred learning styles. I think that planning and preparation is the key to effective teaching. I understand that it may be challenging to learn to play a musical instrument but crucially I also know how to make the process enjoyable and exciting. Every lesson is enjoyable and conducted in a friendly atmosphere. I know when it is time to relax and when to focus my student’s attention on complicated details and on consolidating achievements.
I cater for all age groups in my teaching from young children to retired adults.
I also teach all levels of player, from absolute beginners who have not previously learned music or piano playing, to intermediate and advanced students.

Lessons with me are normally centred on learning the classical piano, but popular music can also be incorporated. As students become more proficient, a wider choice of music opens up to them and I will discuss individual preferences with each student in order to develop their particular interests.
