Information About Maria - Kingston upon Thames teacher

Personal Description:

I'm professional violist, freelancer, with great passion for orchestral and chamber music. I graduated form the Royal Academy of Music in London with the Bachelor of Music and Master of Arts in Viola Performance degrees.
During my time at the Academy I had an opportunity to learn how to teach violin from one of the best violin profesors at the Academy, Mr Mateja Marinkovic who led an Advanced Teaching class.
I have an up to date knowledge on the ABRSM curriculum and many of my students were very successful in their exams.

Tutoring Experience:

I'm a private violin and viola teacher with 13 years of experience. I have been teaching children from the age of 4, school children and adults on all levels. I strongly believe that learning in a friendly environment of student's own home and having 1:1 lessons is the best way to achieve one's goals. Most of my students agree with me and stay with me for many years.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to teaching is very open. I want my students to decide what is their goal (taking exams or playing just for fun etc) and I tailor my teaching methods to each student individually.
My main interest in teaching is to inspire people and show how music can affect and change their lives.
