About Thomas
Began self-taught Music at the age of 14 for my Music GCSE's. Became fascinated by composition and innovative ways of making music. Continued studies of Music in A-Level and then on to Ba(Hons) Music Technology at University. After graduating with a 2:1 from the University of Bedfordshire, I immediately went on to study my Post-Graduate Degree in Education in Music + Performing Arts.
From here I became a qualified teacher, teaching all around Torbay and a year in Egypt. I have been privately tutoring Music ever since. The last 4 years I have focused on Special Education Needs teaching, with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Currently, I have:
14 years Music experience.
7 years teaching experience.
5 years private tuition experience.
4 years focused SEN experience.

For Music: If you are not enjoying your learning and playing, there is a reason for it. This could be either you're not learning what you enjoy or is being more work than play. My ethos is to make learning fun, whilst being as educational and beneficial as possible.
As a self-taught musician, I have made all the mistakes any other learner could have made, I know what it looks like and how to overcome them. I give all the tools to my students for them to be able to teach themselves outside of lessons and consistently get better long after our sessions are concluded.
For SEN and challenging behaviours: I am an advocate for the mantra "The behaviour isn't the problem, the problem is the problem." Which sounds confusing, however, those who are frustrated at something not working can be focused on their frustration. The actual focus should be what has caused the frustration in the first place. I am always keen to get to the bottom of the issue and solve it at its core.

Tom is a great tutor who I can highly recommend. He is really friendly and approachable and my lessons have always been enjoyable. He is informative with years of musical experience and it is clear music is his passion!
I have known Tom for over half my life. He is always genuinely caring and compassionate in all aspects of his life. His skill range is massive and often under-sells himself. An asset to anyone who wants to learn and thrive.
