Specializing in guitar, piano, violin, drums, ukulele, and music theory, I have orchestrated lessons that strike the perfect balance between educational content and interactive engagement. My students not only excel in mastering musical instruments but also triumph in their French exams, acing assessments like: Cambridge IGCSEs and A levels for the British curriculum, CEFP, DL, TEF, DFP, and CFTH for those in the French curriculum. i am currently working with schools that will have students sitting for their French KCSE this year.
