Polina is a classically educated musician with the great understanding of children. My son (14) not only enjoyed his weekly lessons with her but also was looking forward to practice on his own. Polina tutored him for more than two years during which he successfully passed his Grade 5 as well as won an intermediate piano competition at his school (RGS) this summer.
Polina managed to navigate his teenage moods and balance his music practice with the competing academic pressure of the school. Moreover she kept him motivated to continue his music practice and go for the next level after Polina moved out of Guildford.
Thank you very much Polina for two fantastic years, we are ready to provide further references if anyone interested.

My daughter Madison has played piano for a couple of years and became uninspired by traditional teaching methods and gave it up. Then we met Polina and I've never seen her so inspired and excited about anything. She has built a repertoire of beautiful pieces in a very short space of time. Polina has an extremely nurturing style of teaching which empowers the student and she taps into their creativity and makes playing piano an utterly enjoyable experience! It was always a struggle to get Madi to practice and now she walks through the door and cannot wait to sit at the piano and play.. She loves it! I think that says it all! Highly highly recommend.
