Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Graduate with five years of teaching experience in violin performance at all levels.

Simònne is a flawless musician and truly brings music to life. She takes care to tailor lessons around her students and takes pride in watching them succeed and reach their goals. She is passionate about her career and makes every lesson special.

Simonne is a really amazing teacher. She taught our teenage daughter. Our daughter learnt so much from Simònne, she was really great at boosting Hannah's confidence. She is warm and encouraging. I can recommend Simònne as an excellent teacher. She is also an amazing violinist, such an inspiration.

I have come back to taking violin lessons after approx. 30 years and after having picked up plenty of bad habits over that time. Simònne makes lessons fun and encouraging and I can hear myself improve from week to week. She is very flexible in terms of arranging lesson dates and times so sometimes it can be a few weeks between lessons while at other times I have had two lessons in one week. Simònne is very personable and is open to input into what I would like to cover from lesson to lesson while also making good suggestions about pieces / studies that will stretch me. I'm delighted that I found Simònne and look forward to many more lessons with her.

Simónne is a delight to work with. She’s punctual, friendly and was able to keep my 9 year old engaged in a creative way, even though the lessons were on zoom. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

As a colleague of Simònne’s over the last five years, I would thoroughly recommend her both as a teaching practitioner and as a performer. The thought and care that she gives to each student, coupled with her fervent passion for music and dedication to developing her own teaching practice through involvement in organisations such as the Benedetti Foundation make her a very safe pair of hands in which to trust a student. Simònne possesses a rare capacity to engage both very young beginners learners as well as using her conservatoire training to support and inspire advanced students.
