Tutor Profile
I am a professional violinist, violist and conductor, studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. I also teach conducting, violin, viola, and chamber music at the Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians in Essex. With over nine years of tutoring experience, I also offer private tuition in violin, viola, orchestral conducting, music, music theory, philosophy, history, essay and dissertation skills, english literature, classical civilisation and violin performance.
From the age of 17, I have taught violin and viola to a variety of students, ranging from children and adults beginning their studies, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I began working as a freelance academic tutor, and taught Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature, Dissertation Skills, and Classics to A-Level Students. I have since developed two years’ experience, in which I have taught over 900+ hours of educational content with a diversity of tutoring organisations and online education platforms. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting. I worked as an Assistant Music Teacher at a Sixth Form College, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. I have also worked with academic summer schools in Oxford to prepare Oxbridge hopefuls for their entrance examinations.
My academic expertise is strongest in the fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching both Violin and Viola, as well as Music, History, Philosophy and Writing Skills to final-year undergraduates. I also teach Classics and English Literature to a first-year undergraduate level, and I have intermediate reading skills in French.
Additional Professional Credentials – Violinist and Recording Musician
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
Approach to Teaching
– I favour a structured approach to teaching. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. I also inform the design of my classes through a constructive dialogue with my students. This enables me to structure my lessons within a curriculum that meets my students' specific educational needs, and serves to enable my students to achieve tangible improvements in their academic performance and musical ability.
Academic Tuition
– My academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar style format, in which I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.
– I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
Musical Performance
– Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo etudes, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements.
– I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece.
Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements.

Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Guitar, and Music Performance lessons in Birmingham, UK.
My name is Ginevra P., I am an italian pianist, accompanist, repetiteur and chamber musician based in Genova, Italy, since the virus pandemic outbrake. I am once again working as official Piano accompanist at the Genova’s Conservatoire N. Paganini, where I am pursuing a certification for teaching Music Education. I have spent the last four years in Birmingham, where I pursued a Master in Music and a post-master course PSP in Piano performance at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and I am currently looking for opportunities to work as a piano teacher in one to one and ensembles lessons.
My primary Goal as a teacher is to instil and broaden my students’ interest for music and to develop and ensure their music skills to be able to continue in their musical studies. Working hard as a private and scholastic piano teacher for ten years has been one of the most rewarding and inspiring experiences of my life whilst contemporarily allowing me to grow both professionally and as a person. Over the years I taught more than 30 students aged between six and seventy and I have adapted my teaching technique to the specific needs of each individual, considering differences in terms of age, instrumental practice level, music taste and personal Goals. I especially spreading enthusiasm and encouraging patience among them . As an eclectic musician, my passion for many kinds of music and for instilling love and enthusiasm for music in my students are the common and fundamental qualities in my teaching, which provide me with the flexibility to teach different skills to any type of student. I started to play the piano when I was four years old and I have always been deeply passionate about music of any type, from early Baroque to modern Rock and Pop. As a soloist I have been working hard on my self-confidence, an aspect which I continuously strive to instil in my students from a young age. When preparing a performance, my preparation relies on self appraisal skills and on my teacher’s feedback. Moreover, after four years of piano exams, coaching and performances of high quality at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, it is clear to me that the teacher’s belief in their students’ potential and success, thus investing their personal energy, truly is a student’s great fortune. During my piano studies I also focused on chamber music and opera accompaniment, disciplines that require not only musical and pianistic abilities but also strong leadership skills. I believe that leading a group of musicians relates to teaching a group of students: both situations require someone to guide the general Team efforts to good achievements, which makes the difference. This Kind of work can be challenging at times, owing to the increased personal responsibility one bears, not only for the project's musical success but also for its participants and their development, to enable them to give their best in a supportive, yet professional, environment. After several experiences within group projects, I am quietly confident that I possess the qualities which contribute to ensuring a project’s success, amongst the most important ones of which I count enthusiasm, positivity, honesty and calmness. In my opinion, these are also the keywords for a successful student - teacher relationship. The most important thing I have learnt in my carreer yet is how fundamental it is to keep a focus on my commitment to continued learning. I enjoy continuously engaging with my professional development; the music world offers so many facets of which I would like to explore as many as possible with the aim of helping me become the most well-rounded and versed musician I can be, which will translate into being a more valuable teacher to my students. The aim of my piano studies is to increase my musical insight, my technical abilities and my interpretative approach, always looking for a deeper understanding of music in general, and of the pieces I play in particular. This attitude is necessary for a leader position such as teacher, because it pushes me to do the best I can and it transmits my dedication and passion to my students. Next to the piano practice, I spend much of my time studying the areas related to the music I play or simply enjoy, including history, philosophy, physics and classic literature. I am confident to say that knowledge will always enhance the musical qualities of any student. I would argue that a good teacher has to encourage each student to find personal connections between their music and their interests, guiding both their personal and interpretative growth. I think that this kind of ‘research study’, combined with technical practice, represents successful professional development both for the student and the teacher. I am a hard worker, and my teachers, such as Jan Loeffler and Pascal Nemirovski, have called me competent, empathetic and enthusiastic, all of which I would consider relevant qualities for teachers in a an environment of young students.
I am a UK graduate in the field of Teaching English as a Second Language. I specialise in teaching the English language as a second language and English literature. I have been teaching in a high school in Malaysia for more than 6 years. In addition to teaching English, I have also trained students in debate, public speaking, essay-writing competitions, sketch video competition and poetry recitation. Living in a multi-cultural society since young, I can communicate in Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese in addition to English. Before the pandemic, I have travelled to more than 20 countries, mostly in Asia and Europe. It has taught me to be respectful of people from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities.
In my free time, I pursue music as my hobby. I am pursuing a recital diploma LTCL from Trinity College London for piano. I have passed my ABRSM Grade 8 in music theory with merit. During my university years, I performed on various occasions and choir performances. The highlight would be my experience playing the piano for MARJON choir at the Birmingham Choir Festival in 2013. I was the recipient of the David Baker Organ scholarship for 3 consecutive academic years from 2011-2013. I also know how to play the harp, guitar, and ukelele in addition to piano and music theory. Being able to play by ear, I can play any songs requested by my clients on the piano and the harp in music therapy sessions.
