Trusted teacher: Approach to Teaching – I favor a structured approach. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catering to the student's specific needs. – 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. I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary. I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing gaps, 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. – I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli. Lesson Structure – Academic lessons tend to be 45 minutes to an hour 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 to a student's requirements. Academic Credentials – I am a candidate for a Ph.D. in Music at the University of Cambridge. – I hold an MPhil in Music from the University of Cambridge, where I specialized in Historical Musicology and Musical Aesthetics. – I have a first-class music degree (74.4%) from the University of Manchester, where I won three Hargreaves Prizes for Academic Achievement. – I have worked as an Assistant Music Teacher, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. Professional Credentials – I have worked as a private violin teacher for 7 years (since I was 17). I have taught a variety of students, from beginners starting their instrumental training to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills. – 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). – I have extensive experience as an orchestral musician and chamber music performer. I led the University of Cambridge Experimental Music Ensemble (CUEME) when I was studying for my master's degree at the University of Cambridge. I also led the University of Manchester Chamber Orchestra in the second year of my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester and premiered a good deal of new music with The Eskandari String Quartet. – I have performed at the West Road Concert Hall (University of Cambridge), the Lee Tseng Hall (Wolfson College Cambridge), the Buxton International Festival, the Manchester International Festival, and Bridgewater Hall. – I achieved a distinction (92%) in my ATCL Diploma in violin performance, and a First (78%) in the final violin recital of my undergraduate degree. Expected Ability of Students – Academic level: Beginner through to GCSE, A-Level, and Undergraduate Music and History of Philosophy

Trusted teacher: My process as a Teacher and Acting Coach (Acting Coach-Drama Coach), I named it "ORGANIC ACTING", and it is based on "The Method" (also known as "The American Method"), in which I was trained and with the one I have been working on for more than 20 years of my life as an Actress, Director and Trainer of new talents. I baptized my Course or Teaching System with the name "ORGANIC ACTING", to encompass what this acting current means to me, which in one sentence we can summarize as "The Truth on Stage", whose root comes from the great legacy of the Maestro Constantine Stanislavski, and which has then been developed and modernized by other great Masters of acting, over the years, such as: Lee Strasberg (one of the most prominent, thanks to his work at the famous Actors' Studio) , Stella Adler, Elia Kazan, Stanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, among many others. My training, above all, included specialization in the processes developed by Strasberg and Adler. THE REAL ACTOR IS THE ONE WHO DOES NOT ACT! For some time now, I have also been giving my classes online and in a totally personalized way, and it has turned out to be a great experience, since it has become a much more intimate training process, despite the distance, which is essential the first time. stage called: "the actor's work in himself", and for the following: the "actor's work in his scene" and in the creation of characters. We will work on a process of acting awareness, with learning the main tools you need for an organic acting performance, impregnated with stage truth. My work system is done online (anywhere in the world) and face-to-face (only in Madrid), each class is as if it were an intense acting coaching session. Organic Acting allows you to live the scene, the character, get into the situation, feel and live the emotions of the character and get excited! Always aware, of course, that everything you feel and bring to reality comes from a fiction, which is something that is not happening to you, but is happening to the character, and this allows you to live it one hundred percent. Each acting exercise that you are going to do in this course is designed so that you learn how to create a great truth on stage, so that you discover how to use your own resources and so that you achieve acting awareness. Each of these exercises have objectives to meet, and each objective is what will give you organic mastery, so that you can develop acting work based on organicity. AS A TEACHER: In Madrid, I have also dedicated myself to providing acting coaching for Actors and Actresses in their scenes for films and series such as "Servir y Proteger", "Madres", "Deudas", "Hit", "Disappeared", "Caronte", among others. AS AN ACTING COACH: Currently, I am also dedicating myself to the training of actors and actresses who want to learn, experience and live Organic Acting, both in person and online.

Trusted teacher: If- BY RUDYARD KIPLING (‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies) If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! n/a Source: A Choice of Kipling's Verse (1943)

Trusted teacher: I am a fully qualified primary school teacher based in Falkirk with over 15 years of experience particularly in the upper primary level. If your child needs additional input in English or Maths to help them reinforce their classroom learning or if they are looking to extend themselves to work at Third Level in preparation for High School or Entrance Exams, then I am here to help. After our initial ‘get to know you’ session, I will build a program of learning that will support your child in all identified areas, helping them to feel more confident with concepts or skills they have found tricky to master as well as challenge them to reach their full potential moving towards higher level learning. My goal is to create supportive and engaging session where students feel motivated to explore, make mistakes in a safe environment and ultimately, experience success, helping to boost their confidence in any classroom or examination setting. Mathematics is often seen as a problem area for many students and their ‘tricky’ subject. With every student that identifies this as an area for development, my focus is on building a strong foundation in maths reinforcing key concepts, using key problem-solving strategies as well as developing critical thinking skills. Through the use of real-world, tangible examples, I will help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and how they can be applied in their own lives. This work will be followed up with targeted areas for further practice, consolidation and/or additional challenge. During my writing sessions, I will guide students in developing their practical writing skills, i.e. grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and organisation of points/plot. Whilst encouraging creativity throughout, I will ensure there are multiple opportunities for students to express themselves through various writing genres. We will also work on editing and reviewing with feedback sessions built in to help consolidate the techniques introduced. I strongly believe that reading is the key to unlocking a whole world of knowledge and imagination. In my reading sessions, I will focus on developing essential skills such as phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocab. Through a variety of activities, including reading aloud, guided reading, discussion and analysis, I will help students improve their reading abilities, expand their literary horizons, and hopefully, foster a lifelong love for books. I look forward to working with you.

Trusted teacher: To participate and take full advantage of the art therapy workshops, it is not necessary to have any artistic practice, nor pre-requisite because there is no artistic objective to achieve. The purpose of the process not being artistic, we are not concerned with the quality or the appearance of the work produced, but on the contrary with letting go of the result to give free rein to our creativity and our feelings. During the workshops on the various themes of art therapy you will be led, thanks to different mediums (such as acrylic paint, watercolor, pastels), to create and implement a process of artistic creation for therapeutic purposes. Art therapy , in other words therapy through art and creativity, will allow you to know yourself better, to express and manage your emotions, to heal your wounds, to develop your potential, to improve your self-esteem, to let go. .. So many subjects on which I accompany you thanks to tools such as drawing, painting, collage, writing-therapy, but also exchange, speech, reflection, communication... The art therapy techniques that I generally use during my workshops are Art Journal and Zentangle. During the workshops, after having made your creations you will observe them, your way of structuring the space, of arranging the forms, of using the colors, of associating the ideas, in order to thus manage to give meaning to your creation and to draw inspiration from it to make the desired changes in your life. During the workshops, I help the people I accompany to express what they feel, to discover who they are and to connect with their inner resources and their creativity, and this in non-judgment, and acceptance. of their creations. In my job, I have at heart to offer everyone a sensitive, free and deep space of expression thanks to various creative tools in order to allow them to grow in themselves confidence, benevolence and joy of living. Art therapy offers you an action in the here and now, to take advantage of the present moment. Come and discover what art therapy has to offer. At the end of this course, you will no longer be completely the same, and certainly lighter.

Private Piano Lessons: Classical and Jazz, Pop Performance/Theory (Amsterdam)
Yuvraj
Yuvraj is a wonderful teacher! I've been studying piano for half a year with him, and the progress never stops. He teaches everything that you need to be a pianist, including the technique, classical theory, jazz theory, as well as how to find good new songs. Within the few months that I've had him, he quickly took me from having zero practical music knowledge to being able to read and play Trinity grade 3 songs on my own. Yuvraj always tries to make piano something fun and enjoyable, rather than just another annoying thing to grind all the time. This is the guy for those who want to learn with a relaxed, slow and steady attitude. Even better if you're down to challenge yourself with new, unconventional music that you might not expect. While I don't really have anything to compare him to, I am very happy learning piano with Yuvraj.

Tuition in Violin/Viola Performance, Musicianship, Music Theory, and Music History (Barnsbury)
Daniel
My first lesson with Daniel was just what I wanted and more. Daniel made me feel very comfortable and let me play some music I had been working on. Then Daniel looked at all aspects of my playing in a thorough manner and signposted plans for future lessons. I was really wanting my technique to be reviewed thoroughly and Daniel did exactly this, in a very supportive and encouraging manner. It was incredible to hear the change to my playing Daniel helped me make within the hour. Looking forward to the next lesson! Many thanks!

English Writing - For improving your abilities in formal and creative contexts (The Hague)
John
John is an excellent tutor. He goes through the material very carefully and explains every aspect in a clear and understandable way. In my case this was for the subject matter linguistics. John is also a fantastic creative writing tutor and was super helpful to me when I was writing my essays. He is someone who really cares about giving his students a quality lesson that they can benefit from and I cannot recommend him enough.
