Thea Gayle

I'm a London based tutor with a Steiner background and over 7 years teaching experience. I tutor my students in English, Piano, Violin, Oboe and Music Theory. I am a patient and warm-hearted teacher with an affection for the children I teach. I have learnt the balance of being kind yet firm when it comes to lesson discipline. I am attentive to the students needs because I believe it's important to adjust my teaching style slightly according to the learning style, personality and level of each student. I believe that it's of course important that progress is achieved, but don’t put all the emphasis on examinations as the sole reason for working hard. Instead I strive to give my students incentive to improve for their own self-fulfilment- and that feeling of pure success when they are now able to do something they struggled with previously, and now, due to their hard work and perseverance,can easily manage! FLUENT IN ENGLISH & FRENCH I am a native English speaker, and have a university level competence in French.
