Keyboard Teachers : 1-1 Keyboard Lessons

With over eight years of experience as a fully qualified teacher—including roles as Music Subject Lead and Maths—I am passionate about making learning engaging, accessible, and fun. My mission is to build confidence and instil a love for learning, especially in those who find maths or music difficult. Recognised with a Highly Commended Award for Pearson’s National Teacher of the Year in a secondary school (2022), I take pride in delivering tailored, supportive lessons that truly make a difference.

Prior to my teaching career, I travelled to the UK from Australia with a full University Scholarship to study music. I was fortunate to perform with some of the best Brass Bands in the world, traveling on tour with them all over the world. Having achieved the prestigious Harry Mortimer Performance Prize, and winner the British Cornet Solo Championships, I continued my journey by serving in the British Army as a professional trumpeter in the Coldstream Guards Scots Guards Band. It was here where I found the love of teaching. Following my Military career, I became a fully trained Music teacher and experienced 8+ years teaching in a variety of education settings such as Primary, Secondary and SEN/D schools. Throughout this time, I developed a passion for teaching Maths and working with learners who are SEN, Neurodiverse, anxious and lacking in confidence. Having struggled with Maths as a school student, I was driven to making Maths more fun, exciting, enjoyable and accessible – being the teacher I always needed! I am now delving into the world of tutoring where I can reach more learners that need me.

“My daughter absolutely adores the way Steph delivers the learning as it’s fun, and she finally understands Maths in a way that makes sense to her. I have never seen her so engaged & focused! What a positive experience.” – Parent Testimonial, January 2025.

Hello there! My name is Deborah Awe and I teach Maths and the Sciences for younger children all the way up to Year 8! My lessons are particularly aimed at young children to instill a love of the STEM subjects; this is crucial in order to be able to achieve a good grade at these areas in the near future! I currently tutor my youngest sister, who under my tutoring has been receiving straight A grades in this subject – a girl who once struggled to tell the time! I like to teach by understanding what my student does/n’t know – this can allow for me to home in on the areas they are struggling with, making the subject much easier for them. My lessons typically run between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what the student needs, and what kind of topic area we are working on. I am very flexible with the lesson length so do let me know in advance! I currently study Maths, Chemistry and Biology at A level and have been predicted A A A, so best believe your child is in good hands 🙂

Hi! I’m Katherine and currently a final year medical student at Cardiff University. Having nearly completed the entire journey through medical school – from GCSEs/A-levels to medical school entrance exams/interviews and all through to medical school finals as well as an additional Biomedicine degree – I am a veteran in balancing academic pressure, practising efficient revision techniques and making time for socials and wellbeing!
The past 6 years at University have simultaneously been the best and hardest of my life, and whilst true medicine is academically challenging, the secret truly lies in managing your time well. Alongside my degrees, I have also joined and held committee roles in Cardiff Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine Society and Cardiff Medics Squash.
I am here to help guide through assignments, exams, academic stress, entrance to medical school – with a particular interest in Cardiff medical school interviews – and to provide a realistic viewpoint of life at medical school.
I would love this opportunity to share all the academic experience I have gained throughout my time at school and University with you. Whether it be entrance tests, exams, university interviews, personal statements – I am more than happy to help guide and balance students through academic pressures.

Hi, I’m Kai! I was born in sunny Singapore, where I completed high school and two years of mandatory military service before studying at the University of New South Wales as a medical student.

In my early schooling years, I was never deemed as ‘naturally gifted’ in academics. Despite my shortcomings, I overcame many struggles and hurdles to get to where I am today. My wish as a tutor is to be able to impart my gained experience and knowledge to students whose position I was once in.

For my national service, I was attached to an endurance-class warship and served as a fast craft specialist in the Singapore Navy. There, I further learnt the importance of being disciplined and hardworking in the pursuit of excellence. At the same time, I understand that a keen interest in the given subject is just as important. It was my passion towards biology and the sciences that drew me towards the medical profession, inspiring me to work hard and eventually achieve my dream of entering medical school.
