Grade 8 ABRSM PIANO finished at 15years old Play the Harp Have prior experience with one to one tutoring from learn to play level (Foundations)

I was one of Sydney’s students and honestly she helped me so much.

When I started, I felt really overwhelmed and didn’t even know where to begin with some topics. She never made it awkward or intimidating. If I didn’t get something, she’d just explain it in a different way until it finally clicked. She’s really patient and easy to talk to, which made a big difference because I actually felt comfortable asking “basic” questions.

Her sessions were always organised but not in a stiff way. She’d come with a plan, we’d go through tricky areas, do practice questions, and she’d give really practical exam tips that I still use now. It felt focused but relaxed at the same time.

I definitely improved while working with her, but more than that I just felt a lot more confident. If you want a tutor who’s calm, supportive, and actually cares about you doing well, Sydney’s a great choice.

I’ve known Sydney for several years as both a friend and someone I’ve studied with, and I can honestly say she’s one of the most reliable and hardworking people I know.

She’s patient, calm, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of just giving answers, she breaks topics down step by step and makes sure you understand the logic behind them. She’s also really good at spotting where someone is struggling and adjusting how she explains things. You never feel embarrassed asking her questions.

What stands out most is how much effort she puts in. She prepares properly, structures sessions clearly, and always follows up with helpful notes or practice questions. I’ve seen how she can take something that feels overwhelming and turn it into a clear plan that feels manageable.

I’d definitely recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a tutor who is supportive, organised, and genuinely invested in helping students improve and feel more confident.
