Before this I also gained an A* in GCSE Music and Distinctions in ABRSM Grade 8 Piano.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have taught piano for four years now, preparing students of all abilities for various ABRSM exams. More recently I have also taken on more academic tutoring, covering Maths and English at an 11+ level, and also preparing students for their ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory exams. In 2009, I also worked at a music school in Uganda, teaching lessons in piano, theory, jazz piano, composition, arranging and general musicianship.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.: With Music Theory, I am able to tutor online. Students can work through practice exams, or sheets that I prepare, send them to me via email, and then I will send back a copy with detailed feedback. If there are any issues that need discussing more fully, I am able to hold lessons on Skype (or any other similar instant messaging application).
Do you have a personal message for students?: Whilst there are vital practical and academic challenges posed by all areas of music, one of the most important things to remember is that music is meant to be fun! This is something that I am always thinking about in my lessons.
