Personal Message: I currently live in London working as a singing teacher, tutor and freelance singer before applying to music college. I am energetic and fully committed to my students, ensuring that I can give as much help as possible.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I primarily teach Singing, whether it be classical or jazz to all levels. On the academic side, I teach Religious Studies and English at all levels. I can also offer help with revision techniques and writing skills, particularly with coursework/dissertations and exam technique.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have taken ABRSM exams in Singing including Grade 8 (distinction) and my dipABRSM diploma in singing performance. I also hold ABRSM grade 7 violin and piano. I held a choral scholarship in the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge for 3 years.

In 2011 I graduated from Clare College, University of Cambridge with a BA (Hons) degree in Theology and Religious Studies (2:1). This degree included significant study of different religious faiths, history, philosophy and literature. I have A Levels in Religious Studies (A), English (A), History (A) and Music (A).
What kind of experience do you have?: My experience includes teaching singing to private pupils on a part time basis alongside participating in the Music outreach project at University. Personally, I have performed as a soloist in many prestigious venues around England and abroad, including on two Clare College choir CD recordings and on live BBC 3 radio broadcast. I sing in numerous professional choirs in London and in March 2011 I gave a solo recital in St.Martin in the Fields, Trafalgar Square.

Academically, I recently helped students with essay structuring, English and Religious Studies at A level, university applications and Oxbridge interview preparation. I focus on helping students with exam technique and how to convey their knowledge in the most effective way.

I recently gained the highest tier rating with Blue Tutors for quality of teaching.
How much do you charge?: My basic rate is £25 per hour. For consultation lessons I charge £20. I am happy to travel to teach, but may have to negotiate an extra charge for a considerable distance. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your individual requirements.
Where do you teach?: I will happily travel to students' homes. I live right at Streatham Hill, London (1 min from the station) but am happy to travel to the student's area if that is convenient.
When are you available?: My availability is flexible, including evenings and weekends; so please do get in touch to discuss your requirements. I am able to offer tuition during school holidays as well as term time.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: For both Singing and academic studies, I am happy to teach any age and level.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes.
Where and with whom did you train?: I have had singing lessons since I was a chorister aged 8. I trained with the National Youth Choir GB and recently with the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge. I currently study singing with a Guildhall teacher.
