About your tutor
I am a passionate violin tutor with 7 years of experience, teaching high school and college students. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching around 300 students, helping them develop their musical skills and a love for the violin. My teaching approach is focused on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel confident and motivated. I take pride in seeing my students not only improve technically but also grow in their appreciation for music. Over the years, I’ve helped students prepare for auditions, performances, and competitions, many of whom have achieved impressive results. My goal is to inspire students to reach their full potential while fostering a lifelong love for music. I believe every student is capable of success, and I am dedicated to guiding them along the way.

Teaching methodology
My teaching methodology for violin focuses on clear communication, empathy, and positivity to create an enjoyable and supportive learning environment. I believe that every student learns at their own pace, so I tailor lessons to fit their individual needs and goals. Through step-by-step explanations and patient guidance, I help students build a strong foundation in technique and music theory. I use positive reinforcement to motivate and encourage progress, celebrating every small success. I also incorporate creative exercises and real-life examples to make learning fun and engaging. My approach is designed to foster confidence, allowing students to not only improve their skills but also develop a lasting love for music.
