History Tutor and Candidate for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge with over Eight Years of Teaching Experience

As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I developed over 150 hours of experience teaching Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature and Classical Civilisation to A-Level students. I have also developed 8 years of experience teaching a range of ages and abilities as a violin teacher.
