Information About Alexander - Loughborough teacher

Personal Description:

Hello! I'm Alex, a music tutor, singer and pianist based in Leicestershire. With over 15 years of experience as a professional musician, a first class honours degree in Music from King's College London, and a background in full-time teaching, I offer bespoke tuition services for all ages and abilities.

I am particularly experienced in teaching academic music (Grade 5 theory, Music GCSE), voice and piano. I can provide face-to-face or online tuition to suit you. I've also worked as a full-time English teacher in South Korea for the last 2 years, and so am especially skilled at working with younger children.

As a classically-trained tenor and professional pianist I am passionate about helping students achieve their performance goals. I've worked as a singer in and around London for the last 8 years, performing at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and touring with various choirs to North America and Africa.

Tutoring Experience:

○ Experienced (6+ years) tutor of music theory, music GCSE and A level. Students have achieved outstanding results -- Distinctions in their theory and 8s and 9s (A* equivalents) in their GCSEs.

○ Highly skilled in online teaching -- using Zoom, Google Slides, online whiteboards etc, I've taught music theory and music GCSE online for the past 3 years. My students have achieved Distinctions in their theory and 8s and 9s (A* equivalents) in their GCSEs during this time.

○ Recently returned to the UK after two years teaching primary-school English in South Korea.

Tutoring Approach:

I am passionate about sharing a love of music with my students. I am a reliable, hard-working and dedicated teacher who strives to break music down into simple, easily understandable building blocks.

I create bespoke syllabuses and teaching materials for all my students, and make clear roadmaps based on marking criteria and technique to track students' progress. I strive to make lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible -- music, after all, should put a smile on your face!

I offer 30-, 45-, and 60-minute lessons. Shorter classes are particularly well-suited to younger students.

I can't wait to help you achieve your goals, whether academic or performing!
