Hi, I’m Nefeli, the Neurodivergent Piano teacher.

As an autistic ADHD piano teacher, I understand sensory needs, executive functioning challenges and the importance of having autonomy in choosing pieces to play for fun! 

I have been teaching for over 20 years and I specialize in teaching ADHD, autistic,  PDA, and other neurodivergent learners through gentle, fun, online piano lessons designed around how their brains learn best. Each lesson is adapted to each student's energy, interests, and pace — helping them build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.

My approach is…

Collaborative

I really get to know all of my students, so we can work together to achieve their goals. They always know their perspectives are valued.

Strengths-based

I tailor my teaching approach to each individual student, to lean into their unique strengths, interests, and learning styles.

Neuro-affirming

I specialise in teaching ADHD, Autistic, PDA, and other neurodivergent learners, adapting to each student’s energy, interests, and pace.
