About Marike
- What kind of experience do you have?
I've taught students from their very first notes on the violin and I've also had students coming to me from other teachers at various different levels of playing. With my small group of private students I've prepared them for ABRSM Grade exams including all grades.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Not yet.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I moved to London from Estonia in 2013 to study in the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Royal College of Music. I've studied with several teachers such as Krzysztof Smietana, Radu Blidar and my formative years were spent with Mari Tampere-Bezrodny from the Russian school of violin technique.

Marike is by far on of the most professional person I have been given to work with.
For being her assistant in a music school, I can confidently say that Marike is one of a kind teacher.
Her patience, experience and attention to details help her achieve outstanding results with student of all age and level.
Marike is not only an amazing teacher but also a trustworthy, reliable and kind person. I cannot recommend her enough as a music teacher.I started taking violin classes with Marike a year ago. I didn't expect to love it so much and I think it's in a big part thanks to her.
It's not easy to start an instrument when you're an adult (much less the violin) and I would probably have given up in less than a month by myself but the classes with Marike are always light and interesting while at the same time going through so much content in just one hour. Most of the time I don't feel like an hour has passed and I want to play more after the class just to practice everything she teaches.
I can now actually play a lot of things that sound very difficult. My family and friends are really impressed :)
Marike is my daughters violin tutor. She is very dedicated in what she does which is shown through her remarkable teaching skills which has enabled my daughter to pass her exams with merit/distinction. She has my full trust and I would highly recommend her to anyone out there who is looking for a strong passionate violin tutor.
I can certainly recommend Marike
She has been teaching my son now for a few months and she has given him so much enthusiasm for his violin. He now practices regularly (well quite regularly!) and has joined an orchestra.
He’s now making such great progress and it’s really all due to Marike. I can thoroughly recommend her, and she’s such a pleasure to deal with tooI’ve worked alongside Marike in group sessions with kids and was very struck by her unwavering positivity. She is an insightful and sensitive teacher while also having a knack of helping kids focus without needing to resort to negativity or harsh discipline. I strongly recommend you drop her a line!
