Information About Francesca:

Personal Description:

I am an undergraduate student specialising in Music (first study violin) but have trained in all areas of performing arts (Dance (Ballet, Tap, Street, Ballroom/Latin/) Drama - LAMDA and on stage musicals/plays/panto//Music (violin, singing, piano, recorder, violin, flute) since the age of 4).

I hold LAMDA Grade 8 (Gold Medal), ABRSM Grade 8 violin, ABRSM Grade 7 Singing and working to ABRSM Grade 7 Piano and Grade 6 Theory. I also hold, ISTD Supreme Awards and NATD Presidents Awards in Ballroom and Latin and am working towards my Student Teaching Exams,

I teach Music Theory to Grade 3, primary Level Spanish, French, Maths and English including Reading and Speech and Drama. I can also teach Baby Ballroom and Latin American dance and help your child work towards LAMDA Introductory and Entry level exams.

Teaching Experience:

I started helping in Baby Ballroom classes when I was eight and have assisted in the infant/primary classroom since starting at secondary school

As House Music Captain, at school I have coached fellow students (with little to no music experience) in group singing and part song. As Dance Captain in a school musical, I was responsible for demonstrating and teaching routines set by the professional choreographer to fellow performers. I have also overseen younger pupils in their music practice.

I have personal experience of being tutored online which impacts on how I teach.. Having taken some 100 exams been involved in numerous competitions, festivals, concerts and stage productions I have a wealth of experience to draw upon and pass on.

Tutoring Approach:

A (free) online introductory meeting with parent and child will be arranged to establish parental objectives and to tailor future sessions/frequency around the child.
I have no preconceptions and begin by establishing what the pupil knows already and what areas require particular attention.
I use the "WALT" (ie We are learning to ......") approach to learning with a review at the end of the session as to what has been learnt. At the start of each new session I check the child's recall of the previous session/topic before moving on.
I will use a combination of online resources, shared screen, Powerpoint slides, hmework, with reference to specific curriculum/curricula, as required
Whatever subject is being studied and whatever age, my aim is to assist learners to become confident readers, communicators and independent thinkers with a thirst for learning.
I recognise that some children may take longer to absorb information than others and it may take some time for that "lightbulb moment". I am therefore exceptionally patient.
Due to attention spans, I recommend 30 minute sessions for children up to age 8, 40 minute sessions for children 9 to 11. One hour for secondary level.
Tutoring is on Zoom or Skype and can be weekly, alternative weeks or monthly.
