She’s great!

Xenia is just awesome! I am making progress with each lesson and I am always so excited for our next one. There is no loss in her effectiveness as a tutor over virtual lessons, her keen eyes and ears still notice when I have reverted to improper technique 😂 She is encouraging, thorough and a joy to learn from!

Awesome Tutor!

Xenia is super patient and fun! She really knows how to explain things and gave useful analogies to help me understand what she was explaining and demonstrating. I made the same mistake several times and she corrected me in such a kind, gentle and effective way; I never felt bad about myself and we just focused on ways for me to improve. She is good at diagnosing my areas that need correcting even through an online lesson. I had a lot of fun learning and working through my challenges with her and I am so excited for my next and future lessons! I definitely recommend her as a violin tutor!
