Angela

Hello Everyone! My name is Angela and I am an experienced Piano Teacher and Dyslexia Tutor. I live in Stanley with my wife, four children, an older dog, a puppy and a rabbit! I visit students in their own homes for lessons because it’s a bit hectic here!

Teaching Experience

I have been teaching Piano and Music Theory for 18 years, having taught in several schools, visiting students for lessons in their own homes, and I also teach piano lessons online. I have taught students of all ages, many with additional needs, and I also teach children from pre-school age. I have had much success with entering students for ABRSM Piano and Music Theory exams.

I also tutor children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. I use the Danks Davis Dyslexia Method which is primarily a spelling method which also focuses on reading, writing and comprehension. I have been tutoring using the Danks Davis Dyslexia Method for 20 years. I have found it to be very successful, especially as many of my previous students are now at university and building excellent careers for themselves!

Tutoring Approach

I believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable, and aim to always make Piano Lessons and Danks Davis Dyslexia Sessions a positive experience for the students. I understand that students have other pressures on them and I aim to make their lessons with me a relaxing and confidence-building experience. I do not pressure students to take piano exams unless they want to, and I’m always happy to teach them how to play their favourite songs and music.
