Personal Description:

I am a cellist based in Surrey Quays. In 2020 I completed my Masters at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music, in Performance & Music Education - specialising my research and practice in one-to-one cello tuition as well as teaching children with special educational needs. I am currently working at Trinity Laban as a research fellow and improvisation tutor. In 2015 I graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London specialising in classical and contemporary performance and music education.

I actively perform across London and Europe, in a variety of ensembles and solo. I have performed in events/venues such as: King's Cross 'Tete-a-tete Opera Festival', Cheltenham Music Festival, Cadogan Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Teatro Baltazar Dias.

I providentuition for one-to-one cello and music theory, both in person and online.

Tutoring Experience:

I teach a wide range of ages and abilities (from age 5 to adult learners, from absolute beginners to post-grade 8 standard) both privately and as a THAMES tutor for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. In the past I have taught in schools across London, including London Borough of Southwark and London Borough of Redbridge.

I hold multiple fully enhanced CRB/DBS checks.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a cello tutor who enjoys teaching all ages and abilities, always aiming to inspire my students, driving them to improve and truly enjoy playing the cello! My approach is very holistic and I incorporate many aspects of musical learning into my lessons, including improvising, active listening, ensemble playing, playing by ear, learning from memory, as well as whole body awareness inspired by yoga, Alexander Technique and Dalcroze method (which I have training in).

I am open-minded and flexible, always tailoring lessons to each individuals' needs. I offer lessons for:
- TC Grade exams
- ABRSM Grade exams
- ABRSM music theory exams
- GCSE and A-Level music performance exams
- students with special educational needs
- general personal improvement
- playing for personal leisure
- all ages and abilities (from age 5 to adult learners, and beginner to advanced)

I am able to travel to students around Greenwich/Blackheath, or students can travel to my home in Surrey Quays for lessons. (Travelling to students will include a travel fee).

I also offer online lessons via video call/skype.

From Laura (5/5): Very thoughtful and talented teacher. She is very skilled and we could see improvements from day one. Very caring and captivating to my child. We are grateful to have found her.

From Tevin (5/5): Roxanna is a great teacher. Very patient and attentive. She tells you exactly what you are doing wrong and where to correct your technique. I look forward to learning more from her in the future.

From Sarah (5/5): Roxanna is an amazing tutor. I have had lessons with her for a few months now and I feel like I have already progressed a lot. She is very motivating, attentive, accommodating and patient. She is full of knowledge and will make everything easier for you. She is extremely passionate, and has recommended different videos to watch and music to listen to, even creating a playlist which has motivated me a lot. She was also very helpful to me when I first started and had lots of problems with my new cello. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning the cello.

From Kaiwen (5/5): Roxanna has taught my son and she is now teaching me to play the Cello. She pays attention to details and I particularly like the fact that mistakes are pointed out and corrected on the spot. I am confident that with Roxanna's help I will hit my target of being able to play Bach suite No. 1 within a year!

From Klaudia (5/5): Roxanna is a really great tutor. She is very patient but at the same time manage to be on point with the material that she teaches. She definitely knows how to teach and adjust lessons to achieve your goals regardless if you are interested in exams or not.
My son enjoys her lessons and made fantastic progress under her tutoring. She also helps him to focus on tasks (which is not an easy thing) but also helps to achieve his privet ideas as well as material and techniques he needs to perform during the exams.
We will surely continue lessons with her and I would recommend her lessons.

From Ferran (5/5): Roxanna is a great teacher that knows how to teach technique and focus on what you need, in my case I play just for fun and not aiming for exams and she accommodates the teaching based on that and its fantastic. She's patient and full of knowledge.

From Angel (5/5): Roxanna is a really patient tutor, she's nice and easy going. I really enjoy having my cello lesson with her and. Every time I finished my lesson I just love playing cello even more, and I'm sure I'll continue having lessons with her in the future.

From Marina (5/5): Roxanna is a fantastic tutor, she is very patient and helpful, but most importantly her lessons are adaptable for different people and I felt that really helped with my development. She also helped me find the cello and it is always trying to inspire me with extra curricular things such as documentaries. I would highly recommend her.
