Tutoring Experience:

With 30+ years teaching under her belt Susan has enjoyed working in many of her local secondary, primary and private schools as well as teaching at Matlock teacher training college (now sadly no more).
she has also done some outsourced teaching for Nottingham University.

Tutoring Approach:

As the mother of 7 very enthusiastic musicians whose ages range from 16 to 30+ Susan finds she is constantly drawing on her rich experience of the needs and challenges of all different ages
In fact she ended up teaching the instruments she teaches at a lower level through being unable to find a local teacher sensitive to the needs of her own very young children
Susan is constantly looking for the easiest, most fun way to help students on their musical journey which makes her teaching particularly suitable for children suffering from learning difficulties.She has successfully taught children with dyslexia, dyspraxia, brain damage and autistic spectrum disorder.
