I currently teach at Old Palace School and past positions include String Animateur at Langley Park School for Boys and Cello Teacher at The Study School, Portland Place School, Highbury Grove and Stretford Grammar Schools. When studying for my Masters I taught for the Trafford Music Service which involved individual, small group and whole class lessons.
Since then I have taught privately, with pupils achieving ABRSM distinctions, entrance into the Halle Youth Orchestra and successful applications to Chetham's School of Music.

- When are you available?
I am a freelance musician so can be flexible with days and times. With the nature of my work there may be weeks where I need to rearrange the day or time but will always make up lessons and am completely committed to my student's progress.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
Cello: I teach all ages and abilities from complete beginner up to professional level.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I am happy to prepare my students for any qualification. I am most experienced with teaching ABRSM but can be flexible to suit the student's needs.
Goals are important so I like to organise informal performances for my pupils to work towards if they wish to perform whatever they have been working on.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I would be happy to teach cello online via Skype to supplement lessons in person.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Go for it!
Apply yourself and be patient and you will succeed.
