I met Roger after one of his concerts in London, and I immediately knew this was the professor who could transmit the motivation that I lacked for learning to play the violin! And I was right. He is patient, skillful and strategic in teaching, and very adaptable to my schedule and needs during the courses. He also put some extra time to guide my niece for choosing her new instrument. Thank you Roger!
“Roger is Very patient and passionate major!Enlightening children's interest in the violin plays a very important role.My son meet to Roger very lucky.”
For years I’ve been struggling to learn Violin, mainly through my academic capabilities and lack of conviction to do it. Roger is a straight forward and understanding tutor with a huge pool of patient!
I was introduced to Roger by my girlfriend whose little brother had been taking lessons with Roger and showed significant improvements during a short term. It took me little time with Roger to realise not wanting to continue my violin lessons at high school due to "weak talent" was nothing but an excuse.
He is such a fabulous friendly motivator!Roger has been my daughter's violin tutor for 5 years now and guided her from scratch to one of her school's leader players!
And just recently my nephew has started taking lessons from him.
Anyway he's professional and really knows his job.As a professional trustworthy tutor, Raja does a great job. He knows very well how to put up with different age ranges through proper strategies and his music skills are unbelieavably unique. I absolutely recommend him whether you're a beginner or you already play.
I've been his student for 3 years and I can say with confidence that he is fantastic.
The way that he teaching is really great and technical.
On the other hand his a nice, lovely and kind man and reliable.
Sima GhiasiHe's an experienced and very patient violin tutor .I stated from scratch and I could feel remarkable improvement just after 3 month.
Hereby ,I certify that Raja is a dependable and qualified music tutor who proved himself several times.
I ask Raja to teach my 8 years old girl after 1 year having a tutor at her school and the outcomes was totally different like I could feel and see the way she was playing violin and She was surprised and excited from the first lesson with Raja. Thanks to him.
I know Raja since 2016 as my violin turo ans He's still teaching me once a week. I'm quite happy and reccomend him by all means.
