Vikki Symes - Tutor in Southend-on-Sea
from £35-45
Vikki Symes
Music Tutor, Teacher
Southend-on-Sea, England
I am passionate about supporting students to achieve their potential. I love teaching, but get frustrated with the conventional classroom learning style as this is not suited to all students. You cannot measure the ability of a fish by watching it climb a tree. No two students are the same and therefore teaching and learning needs to be tailored to support the needs of the individual student. Working with students on a one-to-one basis is highly rewarding. I relish seeing my student’s succeed and improve their grades, but also, it provides me with an opportunity to discuss the subject more widely beyond the constraints of the specification and instil a passion for the subject in my students. Tutoring Experience I have 12 years experience in private tutoring at both GCSE and A Level in Economics and Business. I am familiar with and an examiner in the Edexcel exam board and AQA. I have been teaching Economics and Business at GCSE and A Level in a Grammar School since 2013. I introduced GCSE Economics and ran that department successfully, with students achieving outstanding GCSE results significantly above the national average. My students have been known to achieve 87% A*-A grades or 8-9 grades at GCSE. Prior to this, I was responsible for introducing Economics at A level at a comprehensive school in Basildon. Before I moved to the UK, I taught Economics and Business at an independent school in Ireland. Tutoring Approach My sessions focus on establishing a core foundation to build confidence and knowledge. Economics is a hard subject. It is like learning a new language and those initial few weeks can be daunting. Students often get lost in the new terminology introduced in the first couple of weeks and this can be a reason for some students not continuing with the subject. By securing knowledge through a variety of interactive teaching techniques, students gain the confidence to access the more difficult parts of the specification. As part of your sessions, all resources and materials will be provided. Work will be set as appropriate for you to complete and I will mark it and provide feedback. We will look at core content, exam technique and practice questions. There are many different issues which are likely to impact a student’s exam performance, but notably application of the subject in a wider context, the skills of analysis and evaluation and decoding the exam questions. These areas will be developed within our sessions and my years of experience have enabled me to devise strategies to address such areas successfully. I have a wide range of experience in teaching a variety of subjects including: English Economics Business History Psychology Music 1-2-1 mentoring Accounting Law EPQ supervising I have experience working with all ability levels and a wealth of training and experience working with students who present with additional needs, including, anxiety, ASD, ADHD, ODD etc. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I will be more than happy to help you, and if I cannot help you, I am sure I know someone who can!

Clare Galwey
Music Tutor, Teacher
Bishop's Stortford, England
I pride myself on my ability to identify and solve students' difficulties, helping them to 'get unstuck' and teaching them the skills they need to become independent and enthusiastic learners. No matter your starting point, I can meet you where you are at and get you where you want to be. I am used to using a variety of approaches depending on class size (individual or small group), student age, and the goals of the student. My focus is on helping my students to understand the learning process, so that they can ask the right questions and take charge of their own learning. I will provide you with resources and guidance to help you practise independently so that you can build on the progress you make in your lessons with me. I have a thorough knowledge of several exam syllabuses and can teach you the techniques you need to do well in exams, but I also want to help you set your own targets and have fun with your learning!

I am a highly experienced teacher, performer, composer and arranger, living and working in beautiful East Devon. I love and play music of all kinds. Clarinet, Saxophone and Flute are my favourites, as nothing feels closer to the human voice. After a first class BA in music and a PGCE that specialised in instrumental teaching, I have taught continuously in Devon schools and privately at home for over thirty years. I offer relaxed lessons to all ages, primary to adult. I believe in an individual approach, following your interests, providing materials to suit, and sharing your love of music. As a performer, I have experience of classical, jazz, folk, pop, soul and rock, and I teach improvisation and ear skills alongside reading. I am fully familiar with the music curriculum and often support it in my lessons. I also offer a full external exam service where appropriate, using the Trinity College syllabus.

Daniel Phillips - Tutor in London
from £60
Daniel Phillips
Music Tutor, Teacher, Instructor
London, England
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. Curriculum Areas of Historical Expertise 1. Europe in The Long Nineteenth Century – The Music, Politics and Culture of France and Germany in The Long Nineteenth Century (1776–1914) 2. Medieval and Early Modern History – The Political, Economic and Military History of Anglo-Saxon England 827–1066 – The Norman Conquest and The Plantagenets 1066–1216 – Tudor History (1509–1603), The Stuarts (1603–1649), The English Civil War (1642–1649), The Commonwealth (1649–1659), and The Restoration of Charles II (1660–1685) – The Crusades (1095–1204) 3.

Music: An Expression of Connection and Community

Music has always served as a powerful medium of expression, bridging gaps among people from diverse backgrounds. From the resonance of stringed instruments to the rhythm of percussion beats, music has the unparalleled ability to evoke emotions and establish a sense of belonging. Delving into music as an academic discipline not only lays the groundwork for potential careers in music production, performance, or education but also nurtures essential life skills, including discipline, creativity, and teamwork. In this article, we'll delve into various facets of learning the academic subject of music, encompassing its benefits, the requisite skills for excelling in music education, and the array of resources accessible to students, parents, teachers, and tutors.

Mastering the Basics of Music

The cornerstone of comprehending any academic subject rests on a robust grasp of its fundamentals. In the realm of music, this entails acquiring proficiency in reading musical notation, comprehending musical terminology, and acquiring rudimentary instrumental or vocal techniques. Students can initiate their journey by selecting an instrument that captivates them, be it the guitar, piano, drums, or others, and then seeking an adept teacher or mentor to usher them through the rudiments. Supplementary to traditional classroom learning, digital resources such as instructional videos, sheet music, and practice exercises can provide valuable support.

Sharpening Listening and Performance Skills

As students advance in their music education, honing their listening and performance abilities becomes paramount. This involves developing the knack for identifying diverse musical genres, recognizing recurring musical themes and motifs, and cultivating the confidence to perform in front of an audience. Attaining proficiency in any instrument or vocal technique hinges on consistent practice and unwavering discipline. Establishing a regular practice regimen, setting realistic goals, and actively seeking guidance and feedback from mentors are pivotal in this progression.

Unravelling Music's Cultural Tapestry

A comprehensive music education extends to exploring the history and cultural weight of music. Spanning classical to contemporary genres, each musical category possesses a storied past that lends context to its evolution and relevance. Through this exploration, students develop an affinity for diverse musical forms, recognizing the way they mirror cultural values and societal norms. Beyond the classroom, attending live performances, tuning into radio broadcasts, and engaging with music podcasts contribute to a richer understanding of music's societal impact.

Cultivating Creativity, Collaboration, and Critical Thinking

Music education serves as a crucible for nurturing vital competencies such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students acquire the skills to compose original music, improvise harmoniously with fellow musicians, and engage in collaborative projects and performances. This process also deepens their insight into the emotional resonance of music, enabling them to analyse diverse compositions and renditions. Furthermore, music education imparts the essence of discipline, organisation, and time management—skills that have far-reaching applications across various domains of life.

Embracing the Melodic Odyssey

Embarking on the academic journey of music promises a rewarding encounter that unfolds a plethora of benefits, from nurturing essential life skills to unveiling pathways for potential vocations. Whether you stand as a student, parent, educator, or mentor, a myriad of resources stands at your disposal to enrich your music education. This odyssey begins with a fervour for music, a willingness to learn, and a sturdy underpinning of diligence and practice. In the eloquent words of the renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven, "Music can change the world." Through music education, we can become agents of that very transformation.
