Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching at the Virtuosi Music Centre in Singapore since 2009, the people I have taught range from 3 year olds to 35 year olds. I can teach ABRSM, Suzuki Method and also prepare the students for exams and concerts. I also am a Violin Tutor for the Benedetti Foundation, working in schools all across UK.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to teach positively, trying to motivate the students to not only love but enjoy the music they are playing!
