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.

Would you like to learn how to play piano? Or have you already started, but don't know how to proceed? You are in a good place! I am a passionate piano teacher and my goal is to prove that everybody can play and enjoy making music.

Main factors of my lessons are: individual approach, inspiring and positive atmosphere and full involvement in the process of development of my student. I believe the key to success is not “talent”, it’s rather the inspiring
influence of the teacher and his/her positive approach that allows the student to make mistakes and turn them into opportunities. Teaching piano is very special and important to me, because it allows me to share my biggest passion and the experience that I gained through many years of my education.

I started playing piano in the age of 6. I graduated from Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw (Poland) and also studied in Frost School of Music in Miami. I have been teaching in a music school as well as privately. Currently I teach in the International Swiss School in Wollishofen and Lakeside School Horgen.
