Personal Description:
I am a singer/composer/producer and songwriter. I've worked mainly in the advertising world, composing and producing for television.

In terms of teaching, I have helped people with regards to Vocal Coaching, Singing, Songwriting Techniques, Music Production and Relaxation, all under the bracket of music and performing.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught privately for 4 years. I have helped people develop their songwriting craft and assisted them in developing their songs and finding their own uniqueness. I also assist in recording sessions/rehearsals, focusing on making sure the vocalist is in a good emotional space and we can also look at technique and diction and the emotion behind the song.

In terms of production, I tend to work with Logic Pro, but the principles of production are to do with sound selection and arrangement. I help students hear which sound choices work, and hear the finer details in well crafted and produced songs. Once the principles are understood, this allows them to apply them to their own work.

Tutoring Approach:
I have a relaxed yet very focused approach to tutoring. First we'll identify the student's goals and intentions, whether it's purely singing based, or involves aspects of songwriting and performing or production. We then set some targets and work together to achieve them.

In terms of vocal technique, I have studied and integrated elements of 'Bel Canto', Speech level style singing, and more contemporary forms of vocal development. I also explain what each vocal exercise is designed to do, so we know why we're doing certain exercises.

Relaxation techniques are a big part of my work. This allows us to breathe more freely, and helps free us of any tensions which may stand in our way.

The confidence of technique and precise execution that becomes second nature is the key to successful musical delivery. I help develop those techniques that can be relied upon to deliver the true emotion and intention behind your of your work.

Suraien (Mr)

or Quick View

Personal Description:
I am a medical student studying at UCL and I would confidently describe myself as a motivated individual. I have always been determined in any task that I am given, whether it be education related or not I believe that I should put all my effort into anything I do. I am organised and I have good time-management skills and I personally hate wasting time as I believe that time is valuable and so I make sure that I am always being productive with my time, and this is what leads me to being organised and submitting everything before deadlines. Lastly, looking into my character, I'd certainly say that I am a very simple person who is friendly and I love socialising with people from all different ages, as I believe that there is always something to learn from talking to people, no matter what age they are.

Teaching Experience:
I have been voluntary tutoring school kids from year 4-8 for the past two years, with a specific focus on the 11+ entrance examinations for Years 4,5,6 and having done this, I have been able to help many individuals pass their exams and get into amazing grammar and private schools. As well as my high success rate, I have also given 1-1 private school interview preparation and this has also been an excellent experience for myself as I really improved my communication with children and had the satisfaction of helping children get into the best private schools in the country.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is to find identify the weaknesses that the children are struggling with, as I believe when it comes to teaching a subject there is no point teaching all the topics if they are already strong at some of them. I always assess the students and identify their weaknesses and then after a few lessons I make sure that these have now become strengths. For example, when teaching Mathematics, I make sure that they do a lot of practice of the same topic over and over again until they are very confident with it, and by confident, I mean they will have to be getting minimum 90% in that topic to then move onto the next. This way, I tick off one topic at a time and they will certainly be making great improvements and these will be clear from their school results in upcoming exams.
