Tutoring Experience:

I've started teaching as soon as I could, from when I was a kid I always wanted to be a teacher, and I carried on this passion with my love for music, I like things explained in an easy and practical way and that's the way I teach.

I got my first students when I was 17 years old. Teaching them piano, music theory, and especially introducing them to music production and technology. Now, the experience is more, but the way didn't change: simple, clear, practical and following the unique learning mechanism of each student.

I'm teaching in English, French or Italian.

I'm currently teaching music technology in two primary schools in Wimbledon (Enhanced DBS) and accept new students for priva**Contact Detail Removed**ssons in my Studio in Wimbledon.

Tutoring Approach:

I prefer to learn by doing, as a consequence this is also my way of teaching, having results immediately and motivation to do more, and from there getting to really advanced things once the passion is there. Learning should be like the school pause, we look forward to it, and it finishes before it even started, because we love it.

When I brought my first piano composition to my piano teacher as a kid of 12 years old, first of all she motivated me to write another one, she didn't start with all the things that don't work. Then she started suggesting practical changes in the music that are clear to the ear. This is how to share the passion for something new with the students.

I had the beautiful chance to have incredible teachers following me from young age. I'm now teaching with the same approach and passion as I learnt from them. Don't hesitate to contact me for any question!
