Over

I have a background in MSci Pharmacology with Professional Placement Year with First-Class Honours from KCL, worked at the University of Oxford. I am native Cantonese, proficient in Mandarin and English (~native) - both spoken and written.

Currently teaching the piano, the flute, and phonics in my spare time:) I enjoy interacting with people from various backgrounds. I have a passion for music and I am keen to transfer my musical skills, techniques, and understanding to my students. More importantly, I really enjoy guiding and empowering my students in their pursuits with a positive learning attitude, in so doing also boost their confidence.

I completed the Music Theory Grade 5 exam at age 10. Attained ABRSM Grade 8 for the piano and double bass at ages 11 and 15. Attained LTCL for flute at age 14. I played in both woodwind and strings orchestras, also participated in various local and overseas competitions throughout my school years in HK.

In terms of work experience, I have worked in various cities, London, Oxford, Shanghai, Hong Kong (hometown) using various languages. Naturally, I have an upbeat, cheerful, enthusiastic personality. Having worked at various startups, I also encourage an empowering and proactive leadership/teaching style. I am flexible, comfortable, and versatile. My teaching will be dependent on the student's needs -- I believe in systematic teaching but malleability is also important depending on the student's potential and character.

Friendly Piano Lessons for Beginners (Cantonese/English)

48.22 $ /h

Learning how to play the piano is not only musically enriching as it is one of the easier instruments to pick up if you are new to music, giving you a solid base of musical understanding, but also will boost your confidence in general being able to recognise pitches with multiple voicings as we work up the grades.

I adopt a goal-oriented teaching style:
- we will work through ABRSM grades -- breaking down the work needed to master all the way from scales to exam pieces to aural to sight reading.

Beginners/Intermediate Flute Lessons (Cantonese/English)

For complete beginners, the things I'll teach you the following in chronological order:
- basics of the sounding of the flute, assemble/disassemble the flute
- tone development: posture, embouchure, breathing, articulation
- basic rhythmic training
- fingerings for simple notes e.g. "G", "A", "B"
- other notes ("F", "Bb"; "E", "D", "C")
- understanding the balance
- sightreading simple solo, duet pieces
- more advanced notes
- pitch (sharp/flat)
- tone color
- more advanced pieces
- musical ornaments

My teaching style is goal-oriented. Tone color is the most important skill to master in my opinion.
I can help you with the ABRSM grades you want to achieve!

I have over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English as a second language. I am currently a PhD researcher at King’s College London and run this tutoring business on the side, as I enjoy motivating students to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

I have studied English language and literature for all of my academic life and being multi-lingual (Fluent in Dutch and Sinhala), I understand how difficult it is to learn a language as a complete beginner. I am an empathetic and understanding teacher, but I also know how to push your limits and show you what you are capable of.

I will assign some, flexible homework for out of class, but most of the content will be addressed in the lesson. I am available to teach all levels of English or aid in English literature, but please message me for more information!

Hello everyone,

I am a 22 years old Belgian Female who recently moved in London in order to pursue my law studies. I completed my bachelor at the University College Maastricht in the Netherlands, and have acquired a lot of tutoring experience over the past three years. Indeed, alongside my studies, I have always dedicated some of my time to tutor French/English/Dutch lessons to people of all ages.

My lessons are taught in a way as to encourage my students to live the language they want to learn. I give considerable importance to improving one's verbal abilities, and my lessons are structured as follows:

- Warm-up games (i.e., vocabulary games).
- Verbal Skills: Debate on any topic of the student's interest.
- Writing Skills: Small essays to write at home following the debate (correction during the next class where attention shall be paid to grammar rules, etc.).
- Listening Skills: Analysis and translation of popular songs.
