About

About

My background is diverse. I started violin at the age of 4 and studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School under Berent Korfker (Professor at the Royal College of Music). YMS is world-renowned as an elite institution for classical music education. Following my time at YMS, I switched to academics and continued my violin studies under Lars Bjornkjaer (Concert Master at the Danish Royal Opera House).

Currently, I am a 5th-year medical student at UCL (taking time out) and since my first degree (BSc Neuroscience KCL), I have been tutoring as a violin and maths & science tutor. This has been my work for over 10 years and I am passionate about providing a real education that equips my students with skills that help them become confident and self-motivated.

During my sabbatical from medicine, I am learning electronic music with an aim to combine my understanding of classical music with modern technology. Whilst qualifications provide physical proof of competency, a tutor cannot be effective without the ability to communicate. My fascination with people and behaviours combined with my experience across creative and academic disciplines allows me to offer you a unique approach to learning.

Above all, I value true intentions and honesty. I will work with you to my highest capacity to achieve your goals and help you grow. Please consider me as your tutor as I will give you my all.

I had an awful teacher before , truth is I didn’t realise how bad until i met camilla, she really cared about my learning and was very good at explaining things in a way that I could understand. I shot up levels thanks to her 🙂 thanks Camilla.

Camilla is one of those rare people that genuinely cares deep about doing a good job, and in particular, cares about her students and them getting the most out of learning music. With a varied background, including very strong foundational skills and knowledge, and a high degree of empathy, she can adapt her tutoring to suit the person and pass on her love of music. Highly recommended!

Camilla gets on so well with my daughter! She just loves her lessons – it’s a joy to watch. Learning violin has been such a fun activity for my daughter. I’ve seen her truly grow as a musician since Camilla has been with us. Highly recommended!

Camila has been teaching our daughter violin for the past 3 years, and has developed her abilities through fun, practical and theoretical methods. Florence enjoys her lessons and developed a love for the violin through Camilla’s calm, patient and progressive demeanour. Camilla is a fantastic teacher, and I would highly recommend her.
