I have a real passion for teaching music, and I approach each student with friendliness and patience, dedicating as much time as needed to help them at any level. As a professional and experienced musician who has travelled and played in both small and large settings, I am equipped to guide and mentor young people, helping them navigate the challenges of the music industry and develop the right attitude to be a part of the larger musician community.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to assessment involves a combination of formative and summative methods, allowing for continuous feedback and improvement. I prioritise providing constructive feedback that enables adult learners to understand their strengths and areas for development.
Understanding the diverse backgrounds of adult learners, I am sensitive to cultural nuances and strive to create an inclusive learning environment. This awareness enhances the overall learning experience and promotes a sense of respect and appreciation for cultural diversity.
Recognising the importance of interactive and participatory learning, I incorporate various teaching methods to keep adult learners engaged
