About Me
I am a piano teacher from Bulgaria. I lived in London for 15 years (before my family moved to Zug)where I was teaching piano privately and also teaching music groups for babies and toddlers.
I started playing the piano when I was 5 years old and although my background of learning was very strict I believe that playing the piano should bring joy and pleasure.
Having three daughters myself I feel I can really connect with children and make the lessons fun and playful.

I have been teaching piano for the past 7 years. I started tutoring piano as a side hustle when I was 16 years old and it ended up turning into the most wonderful achievement I have ever done. Over the past 7 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching children from beginners to the final exam on ABRSM.

In my classes, I tend to focus on preparing the student so they are able to take the ABRSM grades and earn a qualification at the end of it. However, each class varies, the focus of each class is to get you to your goals and help you achieve them. Each lesson is personalized and tailored to you.
