I enjoy being a facilitator of information to students who endeavour to explore theoretical knowledge and their instrument and its capabilities at their own pace. With
experience from teaching at numerous primary schools, I have gained the necessary skills needed to engage with younger students and am familiar with teaching in the style of the Suzuki Violin Method for young guitar students.
My prefered teaching methodology is a constructivist one the consideres the Zone of Proximal Developmemt (centered around the individual).
I am also an academic researcher and can assist with writing article/essay/assignment.
