Making Music, Designing and film making are what I love to do. I have more than 7 years music experience and love to teach others how to master instruments. I love the outdoors and I like to teach.

I am intelligent, friendly and easy to talk to. My students find me approachable and they feel free to ask any question related to the subject. I am a strict teacher, but I never resort to yelling or insulting a child. If necessary, I will use a stern voice. I understand that each student is different, therefore I use various methods of problem solving. It is my belief that no one is unteachable and if a pupil struggles with a certain concept it is the teacher's duty to find a different approach that works. It is important to me that the lessons should be fun and educational. I value constructive criticism; I highlight mistakes and provide the student with the necessary tools to fix it and I complement pupils on their improvements. My teaching environment is constructive and encouraging.
