Information About Tiago - Paddington teacher

Personal Description:

I'm a 23 year old Portuguese cellist, finishing a Master of Arts degree at the Royal Academy of Music, London. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and really comfortable with French.
I love to play in orchestras, chamber music and, of course, teach.

I'm a prize winner in multiple music competitions in Portugal and abroad, director of a cello music festival (summer) and I've been teaching all ages and levels for 7 years!

Tutoring Experience:

I've taught from beginners to advanced levels in both public and private sectors.

I started working at a music Academy in Coimbra, Portugal, at the age of 16, giving me many early tools into the art of teaching. I proceeded to follow my college degree in Oporto, continuing to teach privately both amateurs and colleagues of mine, tutoring them on the side.

My earliest age student was 8 years old and my oldest was 65.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is quite simple. Learning while having fun and enjoying the great luxury of playing an instrument like the cello.
Yes, it is a really hard instrument to master, but persistance, strength and will power can transform a really hard task into the sublime sound the instrument can produce.

I only require effort and willingness to learn from me! I am really patient, caring and devoted!
