Acerca de mí

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)

48.22 $ /h

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!

Hello,

I offer French, Spanish, and English lessons for all levels. I help with job interview and university exam preparation, as well as lectures and oral and written exams. I assist with correcting beginner and advanced level homework. I offer academic support for children, homework help, and help with grammar, vocabulary, writing, composition, and conversation. The methodology is adapted to the personality and needs of each student.

If you've just moved to London and need some basic language skills to get by, I can help you too, even if you're traveling to a French or Spanish-speaking country.

If you're traveling and only need a few hours of lessons during your stay, then a conversation lesson while visiting London's museums or parks will be nice (let's check the weather first).

Thank you

Jenny

Hi. I’m Manuel from the capital of Spain, Madrid. Currently I’m living in Liechtenstein finishing my Architecture Master.
When I was living in my country I never before could imagine how people loves the Spanish language. As a foreign here I realized that people from Switzerland considered the Spanish language as the second most important in the list after English. I just wanna enjoy with you sharing my Knowledge, and you could learn the native expressions (different than the book learning technic).

Have a nice day
ein Gruß

I discovered my passion for education during my final year of secondary school. It all began when I became a tutor for a student with dyslexia who was struggling with English and Maths. With the help of a caring teacher who trusted in my abilities, I was able to help my student in her progress and growth for over two years. This experience showed me how much I love teaching and inspiring students to reach their full potential.

As I further explored this field, I welcomed more students into my schedule. I customised my teaching approach to each individual's unique goals and challenges. By tapping into their interests, personality, and learning pace, I create interactive and enjoyable classes that infuse the joy of learning into every session.

Many students view learning as a boring task; as a tutor, I aim to break down these barriers and show that learning and overcoming challenges can be exciting and is a great way to boost our self-confidence.

Whether you're a young learner aiming or an adult seeking to polish your language skills, I am here to be your guide, mentor, and biggest supporter on your educational journey!
