Currently studying for a BMUS undergraduate degree in Cello at the Royal College of Music

For young children it is advisable to have a shorter lesson so that concentration is maintained!
I have a travelcard for zones 1-2 in London, but would ask for expenses to be covered for tuition in zone 3.
Where do you teach?: I would prefer to teach at students' homes as I live in shared accommodation. I am based in West London and can easily teach those who live in Hammersmith, Turnham Green, Ravenscourt Park, (West and South) Kensington, Earl's Court, Notting Hill and Westbourne Park.
Although I am based in West London, I am very happy to travel, so please contact me if in doubt.
When are you available?: I am available most times throughout the week. However, because I am studying my availability is subject to change (due to orchestral placements at RCM etc). Lesson times would mostly be regular but may need to be re-arranged occasionally to accommodate for such changes! Tuition would mainly take place termly (Sept-Dec; Jan-Apr; May-July) with lessons available in the holidays on request.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: I teach all ages and all levels. If you are a mature student don't be intimidated!
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: I can prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall graded examinations. With younger students I like to work towards grade exams as goal oriented learning is often the most rewarding for the student and encourages focus. However, each students' development is different and I discuss how they would like to learn.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: No but I have reliable references on request.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?: Royal College of Music, London.
Where and with whom did you train?: I began the cello at the age of 5 and studied with Gerald Howard and later Robert Max (teacher at JRAM, musical director of Oxford Symphony Orchestra and Pro Corda 1998-2000, Principal Cellist of London Chamber Orchestra.)
I am entering my third year of undergraduate study (Sept 2011) with Melissa Phelps (http://www.cellist.nl/database/showcellist.asp?id=248)

As a soloist I have perfomed in masterclasses for Alexander Chaushian, Jan Repko, Guy Johnston and Johannes Goritzki. I am also a keen chamber musician; my quartet has performed in masterclasses for the Endellion, Chilingirian, Vanbrugh and Sacconi quartets, Simon Rowland-Jones and David Dolan and recently performed as part of the Chilingirian Mozart Festival.
