My approach to teaching is relaxed and professional and I tailor my lessons to the needs of the individual student. My previous students have been of a wide age range, and I have experience teaching students with mental and physical health conditions. Exam students are welcome, as are those bringing repertoire from outside the exam syllabuses.

I am able to travel to the student's home to teach. My availability is flexible, and I am able to teach on weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

References from past students are available on request.
