About
I have been a Teacher of Music and Choral Lead at North London Collegiate School since 2017 and continue to enjoy private tutoring alongside my classroom teaching. I have high expectations of my tutees and support them to achieve their goals through engaging explanations, constructive feedback and clear targets to work on between lessons.
I studied for my BMus degree at King's College London and the Royal Academy of Music, graduating with a First Class degree, before completing a PGCE in Secondary Music Teaching at the UCL Institute of Education. After my Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) year at The Tiffin Girls' School, I joined North London Collegiate School, where I continue to teach and lead the school's choral programme.
My own educational journey has given me experience of a wide range of schools and learning environments. I attended my local state comprehensive school before going on to study at King's College London. I then trained as a teacher in state schools in Wembley and Camden, taught in a grammar school, and now work in an independent school. This breadth of experience enables me to relate to students from diverse backgrounds and tailor my teaching to each individual's needs, aspirations and learning style.
Whether you're preparing for GCSE or A Level Music, working towards an ABRSM examination, refining an EPQ in Music, or simply looking to build confidence and enjoyment in music, I aim to create lessons that are supportive, challenging and enjoyable, helping every student to reach their full potential.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Lindsey J.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Lindsey is an excellent tutor who provides a strong focus on the fundamentals, helping to build solid understanding and confidence from the basics upward. She is flexible and accommodating, making lessons easy to fit around our schedule, and she approaches teaching with genuine care and kindness. This creates a very supportive and encouraging learning environment where our daughter feels comfortable and motivated — which has made a huge difference. We are very pleased with Lindsey’s support and the positive impact she has had, and we strongly recommend her.
Lindsey J. replied
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review, Nitish! I’m so pleased to have helped build up Neriya’s confidence particularly with her composition skills.

Joanne
Fantastic tutor for GCSE music. Has really helped my daughter with the subject and helping to prepare her for her GCSE. My daughter is delighted we found Lindsey!
Lindsey J. replied
Thank you Jo! Sophie has been a fantastic student. Her efforts during and in between our online lessons have led to two completed compositions, leaving us extra time now for some Listening Paper revision. I’ll be wishing her all the luck for her final summer exams!

Lindsey has been a fantastic Piano and Singing tutor for our girls for over six years now. In that time she has taken one of them from grade 1 to 5 in Piano and the other to grade 2 in Piano and 3 in Singing. All of these are grades were Merits or Distinctions. She has been instrumental in getting one of the girls into the Royal Opera House youth choir and further into a MainStage production at the opera house. She is patient, kind and makes lessons engaging for both a 17 year old and an 11 year old, that is not easy. Both of our daughters look forward to their lessons and can’t wait to learn new music and performing skills with Lindsey.
Lindsey J. replied
Thank you for your review, Gaurav! The girls have both done so well to reach their many milestones and to keep up the momentum during and after the pandemic. I look forward to seeing them again in September to start their new pieces.

Excellent teacher. Knows the subject extremely well.
Lindsey J. replied
Thank you Ivan for your feedback! It's been a pleasure to teach both your son and your daughter online over the past five years. Seeing them achieve their 9s in GCSE Music and then learning of Dmitri's Oxbridge success… What a journey! All the best to you all.

Sarah
Our six-year-old daughter looks forward to her lessons with Lindsey and tells us that Lindsey is a kind and patient teacher. We are pleased with our daughter’s enthusiasm and weekly progress, the latter being evident in her having new and progressively more complex pieces to practise. We are also confident that Lindsey incorporates a good mix of theory and practical into her lessons, which is challenging for young pupils eager to simply learn to play. We would certainly recommend Lindsey to other parents seeking high-quality piano tuition for their child(ren).
Lindsey J. replied
Thank you for this lovely feedback, Sarah! Sending good wishes to the whole family and I hope that the piano continues to be a source of great enjoyment in Xanthe's life.
