Personal Description:

I am friendly and passionate music tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience. I can speak fluent English and Mandarin.
Many of my students passed the exam with distinction and auditions successfully.
I am passionate about music while I`m teaching and performing, and I like to share my performance experience with my students.

My performance credits include the London Symphony Orchestra, City Birmingham Symphony, London Philharmonia,
Verbier Festival Orchestra, Birmingham Royal Ballet Orchestra, Walsh Nation Opera, etc. I also perform chamber music
and orchestra around the UK.

I believe in a friendly and positive approach to music teaching for all. I always take high responsibility in teaching my
students and require high quality to the music. The most important thing to learn well of any instruments which need to
build stable basic skill, and encourage pupils to explore further possibilities with Music.

Tutoring Experience:

I offer viola, violin and piano lesson from beginner to advanced students, aged 4+ to adult.
Preparation for GCSE music , applying scholarships, auditions etc.

Tutoring Approach:

take the importance of teaching technique from the very first lesson very seriously. Gaining secure technique early on
means the student will have less difficulty with music in the later stages of learning. While this may seem quite severe, I
make the exercises more fun by turning them into games, especially when teaching young children.
I always try and encourage my pupils through praise and constructive criticism. The use of positive language when
criticizing raises the self-esteem and motivation of pupils and by asking the pupil how they think they played and to identify
problem areas create a more pupil-directed environment, allowing the pupil to learn what they can learn, in their way and
at their speed.
At the end of lessons, I encourage students to have some fun with the instrument, such as improvising, exploring the
range of the violin or playing through their favourite piece. I find this encourages the student’s creativity, confidence and
allows their personality, both musical and social, to shine through.
