Teaching experience
I have extensive experience as a piano teacher accompanist and music educator working with students of all ages and abilities for many years in both Bulgaria and the United Kingdom. My teaching career includes private one-to-one piano lessons school-based teaching and accompaniment work for instrumentalists and vocalists preparing for exams concerts and competitions.I have worked with complete beginners helping them build a strong foundation in posture hand position rhythm and basic musical understanding as well as with intermediate and advanced students who are preparing for graded examinations or performance opportunities. I am familiar with exam boards and requirements and I carefully guide students through technical musical and expressive development to help them achieve their personal goals. My approach is flexible and student-centred. I adapt my teaching style according to each learner's personality learning speed and musical interests. I place strong emphasis on developing good technique sight-reading skills and musical expression while also making lessons engaging and enjoyable. I regularly include music theory within lessons to support a deeper understanding of music as a whole. As an accompanist I have supported students from different instrumental backgrounds helping them prepare for performances school concerts festivals and examinations. This experience has strengthened my ability to work collaboratively and to help students feel confident and well-prepared when performing with others. My aim is always to create a positive encouraging and structured learning environment where students feel motivated supported and inspired to progress and enjoy their musical journey.

She has helped my daughter not only improve her piano technique but also develop a real understanding and love of music.Lessons are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my daughters needs. Marinas calm and positive approach has built her confidence, and she always looks forward to her lessons.I truly appreciate Marinas professionalism, commitment, and passion for teaching.
