Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Vanessa Lee.
I am an experienced educator and Music specialist. Having taught from the Early Years to A-level and beyond, I have seen countless students through graded Music exams as well as facilitated the learning experience for the sheer enjoyment of performing. As well as one-to-one lessons, I offer tuition in GCSE/ A-level Music Composition and Listening skills.
I am also an English and Drama teacher and have tutored students up to GCSE level in readiness for exams. I offer tuition in these subjects at primary and secondary level.
I have an enhanced DBS certificate as well as up-to-date Safeguarding training.
My choir has been an ongoing success story since its inception in 2001 and during the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have learnt a huge amount with the production of virtual performance videos and audio tracks.

Testimonials
"Vanessa taught me for 8 years and helped me achieve grade 5 jazz piano, grade 7 classical piano and grade 5 classical theory. She is a very fun and engaging teacher who is keen to teach what you want to learn rather than sticking to a rigid plan (as some other teachers do). I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone interested in learning music, lessons were always fun and I achieved what I wanted from them."
Andrew
"I asked Vanessa to help me with breathing exercises and warm up techniques as I found when singing I could not always hold a note. She has lots of patience and explains things clearly with lots of help and ideas to improve my voice. As an 'older student' I wasn't sure if I could be helped but I find now when I sing in a choir I am using her techniques and am able to reach notes easier and hold a note for longer. Would recommend her to anyone."
Diane
"My daughter has been learning the Flute with Vanessa for over 2 years. She has gained confidence in her ability and made excellent progress under Vanessa's guidance. Vanessa makes the lessons fun whilst still pushing my daughter on and getting the best out of her. I would thoroughly recommend Vanessa as a Flute teacher."
Charlotte
"I have known Vanessa for more than 10 years as a very hard-working, gifted person. When I took my children out of school to organise home-schooling for them, it was great to find out that Vanessa agreed to teach them English. The children loved her lessons. There were always some interesting and creative things to learn in a friendly, warm atmosphere. We noticed how the children improved in spelling, grammar, essay writing and knowledge of English literature particularly. We can sincerely recommend Vanessa as one of the best tutors and are very grateful for the wonderful work she has done with our children."
