Personal Description:

I am a PhD student in music composition at University of Manchester. I believe that for learning music, it is never too late or early :) I have had a lot of tutees in variety of ages like 5 - 80. I believe in encouraging people to pursue their dreams, no matter how late or early they start or how long they take to get there.

Tutoring Experience:

After just two years of playing the Piano, I started working as music teaching assistant. I was just a teenager at the time, and it was difficult to assert authority as the pupils didn’t take me seriously. My music teacher had asked me to teach his students, who were struggling to learn certain concepts in music such as rhythm and musical literacy. Since I was not a great deal older than my pupils I could convey empathy as a teacher as well as a friend, placing myself in their shoes to provide support and encouragement. I continued teaching during university and after graduation.

Tutoring Approach:

With 17 years of teaching experience I have found working with children and adults fascinating. Each person is unique and this makes the music sessions really lively and interesting. Because every person requires a different teaching approach, the range of learning processes is diverse and exciting. Every case is a new challenge which makes my work so engaging.
