Elena has been enjoying teaching since 2006. Her goal has always been to inspire, encourage and support her students in developing their technical and musical skills, help them enjoy the process of working and performing in public.
Elena was a piano teacher for 5 years at the highly acclaimed Windsor Piano School and currently teaches privately. Her pupils have won prizes at the North London Festival of Music and Drama, Ascot Music Festival, and many others. One of her students recently secured a place and a scholarship at Trinity Laban Conservatoire.
Her student’s success includes receiving 11 + music scholarship at Dulwich College and getting to the final round of Windsor International Piano competition.
She is happy to prepare children and adults for ABRSM exams, 11+ music scholarship auditions, entry conservatoire auditions, competitions and concerts.

‘‘It was a pleasure to know Elena. She has been amazing with our son. He learned to love playing the piano, developed musicality and acquired piano techniques thanks to her expertise, enthusiasm and patience. Her teaching was of such high quality and inspiring that he achieved Grade 8 with distinctions and then succeeded in his ARSM Diploma at the age of 12. He particularly enjoyed participating in annual students' concerts organized by Elena at spectacular venues to celebrate students’ achievements. I have every confidence in her professional knowledge and skills as a musician and a teacher. I would recommend her as a piano tutor without any hesitation.’’

“I started lessons with Elena at the Windsor Piano School after I retired. At that time I was a compete beginner having never previously studied music or played an instrument. Elena successfully coached me through piano grades 1-3 and I was studying for grade 4 piano (which I have subsequently passed) when she left the music school.
Elena was very friendly and ensured all the lessons were fun and enjoyable. Most
importantly, she was very patient which was absolutely necessary for me as a beginner. Her style was to be positive, rather than critical, encouraging me to do better and motivating me to practise. When I found passages of music difficult or was having trouble getting a section right, she gave advice and suggestions on how to achieve the correct
results.
Most importantly, I enjoyed my lessons with Elena and was very happy with her teaching.”Sue
