As a singing tutor, I offer personalized tutoring in singing, pop, rock, and folk styles. My approach is motivating, patient, and flexible, focusing on building confidence and enhancing vocal performance through proper breathing techniques. I use a range of tech tools like DAWs, ear training software, and vocal pitch training apps to provide interactive lessons. I follow various curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, catering to students in school, college, and adult/professional levels.
