My approach focuses on helping students understand the logic behind mathematics rather than relying on memorization. I break down concepts into clear steps and provide practical “recipes” for problem-solving. By building confidence and adapting lessons to each student’s needs, I ensure they become more independent, efficient, and exam-ready.

My ESL tutoring sessions are designed to help students build strong English language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I understand that learning English as a second language can be challenging, so I offer personalized support to make the learning process engaging and effective. I focus on creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel comfortable practicing their English without fear of making mistakes. By focusing on both language fundamentals and real-life application, I help students gain confidence and fluency in English, ensuring they feel more prepared for academic success. Depending on each individual student, I create a personalized curriculum in order to improve their vocabulary, comprehension, and speaking skills, tailored to the student's pace.

Would you like to start playing the piano, return to it after a break, or develop your skills further? I offer individual piano and music theory lessons tailored to your level, interests, and musical goals. We work on technique, music reading, and interpretation through repertoire suited to your experience. Music theory is connected to practical playing, helping you understand the music you learn. For beginners, the focus is on building solid foundations and gaining confidence at the keyboard. For those who already play, we can explore tone, coordination, phrasing, and specific challenges within the pieces you are studying. I aim to create a relaxed environment where you can ask questions and experiment, with clear explanations and achievable goals. My experience as a concert pianist, teacher, and collaborative pianist allows me to support students with different backgrounds and interests. Lessons are available in person in Lisbon or online, in English, Portuguese, Russian, or Ukrainian. Send me a message telling me about your piano experience and what you would like to learn.
