Hello all! I am Rachel, an Architect / Artist and a qualified TEFL teacher. I recently illustrated, wrote, and published a children' picture book and have been selling merchandise for my own company.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong, moved to the UK 16 years ago so I am fluent in English, Mandarine and Cantonese. I can work with standard textbooks and use authentic material to keep the lesson engaging, fun and fruitful. As a RIBA certified Architect, I have knowledge and experience in architecture and Art, and I am more than happy to share my learnings with you.

My teaching style is friendly, encouraging, production-oriented but learning in a fun and relaxed way.

Whether you are an adult who wants to improve their English, a student who wants to change and consider your career, or perhaps your children would like tutoring in Chinese whilst doing some artwork, I am the tutor you are looking for.

Cello playing like any other instrument is physically challenging, so I incorporate exercises, breathing and movement into the sessions. If needed, I could also help pupils to find a ‘Cello.
They will be introduced to new techniques and simple melody arrangements of various styles in the early stages.
Grade Exam Training can be offered.

Easy Steps to Piano Playing - I introduce finger gym, breathing and hand coordination for every level.
This will prepare my pupils to manage chords helping to 'flesh out' essential harmony which tap into any musical style.

Vincent

My class teaches the skills and concepts of general musicianship through singing and movement using the principles of Kodály and Dalcroze. Pupils spend time in activities which enable them to subconsciously internalise a musical concept before it is formally presented to them in terminology, written symbol, etc. Great emphasis is placed on developing the “inner ear” through listening, singing and fun activities. This later leads on to reading and writing music and provides a solid foundation for understanding pulse, rhythm, melody, harmony, tonality. Suitable for pre-instrumental work and parallel with learning an instrument.
