Available to hire
Hi, I’m Simone Landman! I have a strong academic background in theology and religious studies, along with extensive experience teaching and coaching music and language. My passion lies in sharing knowledge and helping others grow, whether that be through singing lessons, tutoring, or working with children in educational settings. I also enjoy performing and coaching vocal techniques to help students gain confidence and musical expression.
Alongside my academic pursuits, I have a deep love for music, playing instruments like the harp, piano, and guitar, and singing in various ensembles and solo performances. I’m always eager to collaborate and contribute my skills while continuing to develop professionally both in education and music.
