Miss Lorraine Cheung - Willoughby/ Chatswood, Sydney

Currently studying Medicine at UNSW, UAI of 99.95, and ranked 3rd in the state
for HSC Music 2, I am a trained and accomplished teacher who loves teaching
Violin to students of all ages and all levels. Definately want to put the
FUN in music but is also sure that practise makes perfect! Passionate about
passing on knowledge to younger generation. Can teach for AMEB exams or
those who want to explore the instrument for leisure.

Experienced in tutoring academically, for NSW school syllabus: Maths, Science
(Biology), English and Music (AMEB musicianship, theory and HSC music) for all
years.

Organised, engergetic, hard working, on-time and can relate to people well,
especially kids.

Structured lessons, giving students weekly homework (if tutoring) and keep record
of what is learnt and what is to be practised at home (if learning instrument).
Will focus on any concepts/ topics the student finds difficult and this is definately a
positive when tutoring privately.

Tutoring times must be arranged privately as university timetables can change.

Discounted first lesson available.
