How much do you charge?
Lessons are £28 for one hour or £18 for half an hour. I am able to travel, expenses would be calculated based on distance.

Where do you teach?
It is best for me to teach at a student's home and am willing to travel and teach in all areas of London and beyond. I can also teach at my home in Dollis Hill.

I trained at the RNCM and received tuition from Gareth Small, John Miller, Jamie Prophet, Tracey Redfern and Murray Greig. I have been fortunate to experience some of the best instrumental tuition in the UK and am eager to pass on what I have learned to other people.

I taught all of my current students from scratch. Some were able to read music before I met them, others have learnt with my help. I teach a mixture of children and adults some of whom are working towards grades and some who are simply learning for pleasure.
