Personal Description:

I am a qualified teacher with honours degree in education and music and I love Music! I have taught clarinet to grade 8 standard. I have taught music theory to grade 5. I also play guitar, both classical and chords (strumming and singing songs!) I spent a lot of my youth having piano lessons and reached grade 5 level.

Tutoring Experience:

I have had 18 years teaching experience within primary schools teaching all core and foundation subjects and have been co-ordinator of music for most of that time. I enjoy singing and I play in a Concert Band which is really fun! I have also taught clarinet, guitar and theory privately.

Tutoring Approach:

Firstly it has to be fun! I love to ask the children what types of music they like and along with the graded exams I like to incorporate some of the childrens favourite music. Normally after a years tuition, if the tutee has practised regularly at home I would enter them for a graded exam which consists of chosen pieces from a list, a study, scales, singing and listening to different types of music and being able to answer questions on this.

From Peter (5/5): So wonderful,the difference Delia is making to my sons education is truly exceptional and I cannot rate her teaching skills highly enough

Reply from: Delia: Thank you Peter,
I look forward to our sessions each week. Your son is like a sponge… he can't get enough of every aspect of the lessons. He will go far in life I'm sure with his attitude and determination. See you Monday :)

From Denise (5/5): In the few weeks since Delia has been teaching my six year old girl, I have already noticed an increase in confidence from my daughter. Her reading has definitely improved and I am beginning to feel a little less worried about her progress at school. I would definitely recommend Delia, she is very competent and has a kind manner.

Reply from: Delia: Thank you Denise, your daughter is a little treasure. It is an honour to work with her. Thank you.

From Jane (5/5): After just 1 session I knew I'd made the right choice for my daughter. Delia is lovely & wasted no time in getting some encouraging results already. She tailored the sessions to my daughters needs & was happy to build on some existing school work. Most importantly my daughter felt comfortable & really liked her . Excellent choice.

From Christine (5/5): Delia is an amazing tutor and really understands the childrens needs.She teaches my daughter English and I have seen a massive improvement in her understanding and her written work.

Would highly recommend Thank You Delia.

From Don (4/5): I have only had three lessons from Delia . The rating left, although not the highest, is meant to indicate that I am very pleased with the tuition so far given. Should we progress as we are, then I would not hesitate to up the rating to five (excellent). I do have the feeling that this will be so in the very near future.
I am therefore most pleased with the introduction to Delia through your system. Thank you.
Kindest regards,
Don Gardner.

Reply from: Delia: Thank you for your feedback Don. I appreciate your comments and look forward to making more music together :)
