Binny B
Binny has a very professional approach but at the same time allows my son to feel very at ease and comfortable by taking an interest in him on a personal level. Her approach can be formal enough to ensure my son knows to listen carefully and follow instructions but also he enjoys the lesson and looks forward to them because Binny gives him praise and is very methodical which enables him to grasp the topics within the subject matter. I would highly recommend.

Ana N
Ana is really easy to get on with and enthusiastic towards teaching and music in general. She made a lot of effort catering to my needs as I came from an electronic production side and wasn’t in the need of any qualifications, which really helped me learn what was necessary for me and progress quickly. Would definitely recommend Ana to anyone from any background for this reason.
