✨ For musicians and creatives ready to shape their vision ✨
Do you feel stuck in your practice or performance?
Do you have the skills but struggle to express your musical voice with clarity and confidence?
Or maybe you’ve been performing for years but want to take your artistry further — deeper, freer, more authentically you.
That’s where I come in.
I work as a musician, coach & creative mentor, helping performers connect the dots between their artistry, mindset, and professional life.
As a violist and saxophonist with experience in solo, chamber, orchestral, classical, jazz, pop, and world music, I understand the many layers of being a musician today. It’s not just about practicing and performing — it’s also about shaping your identity, reaching your audience, and managing the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your career moving.
💡 In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your musical journey needs support:
* 🎻 Performance & Interpretation – confidence, expression, storytelling through sound
* 🎶 Chamber & Ensemble Skills – communication, listening, blending
* 🌍 Artistic Identity – shaping your unique voice and presence as a musician
* 💡 Mindset & Stage Presence – overcoming self-doubt, nerves, or creative blocks
* 📲 Practical Support – planning projects, creating content for socials, organizing tools, and simple automations to make your musical life run smoother
You don’t have to do this alone.
Whether you’re a student, an emerging artist, or already established, we’ll work with what’s inside you — your instincts, your strengths, your goals. Sessions can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.
👉 Think of it as having a coach, mentor, and creative ally for both your music and your career.

Very friendly, helpful and supportive! In just 2 lessons I have made so much progress.
Took a very nice lesson with Estela. There were two of us. Violin and saxophone lessons. Estela was professional and paid attention to small details. She was patient and kind. We are already looking forward to the upcoming lessons.

My first violin lesson with Estela was very nice, she is patient, sweet and explains well. If I take another class I will definitely book with her again.

Estela is very nice and knowledgeable. In my first viola lesson in years, she paid a lot of attention to the correct position of the body (shoulders, arms) and of the hand and fingers, which I really liked, because there is less chance of injuries in the long run. She is cheerful, patient and friendly and I will definitely take more lessons.

Estella is a very positive, always happy teacher. Even though my son has been having on-line lessons with her, we can always feel her positive attitude during the lessons.
She is very patient, gives lots of important tips and feedback, which has been helping him to guide his learning, improving in every aspect of it.
We can see how much she care about the whole learning experience.
It’s been very useful to expend his time while at home doing the lessons. He has been practicing more and has been feeling more motivated since he started the lessons with her.
We definitely recommend her as a Saxophone teacher!

Italian for aspiring Italian lovers, everyone is welcome
A bit about me, I am Cloé, I am half Italian and French but always lived in Florence, Italy, and now study in The Hague.
I miss my home country so I decided to spread "Italianity" by teaching it to whoever wants to learn our beautiful language.
Studying Italian will open a gateway for you onto one of the world's most beautiful languages and one of its richest cultures. Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy.
I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.

I'm a student at the University of Leiden and I graduated from high school in Italy, where I studied Greek, Latin and Italian (both the grammar and the literature). I've also spent one exchange year in the UK, before taking my English certification.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.
The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.
I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics.
I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.
