With two years of classroom teaching experience and five years of private lessons, Davide Jeon has guided students toward their musical goals, either preparing for ABRSM exams, navigating music college applications, or simply for pure enjoyment reasons. Davide Jeon's teaching philosophy is: "Each student is unique and special, and I aim to assist in achieving their goals by acknowledging and respecting their cultural backgrounds, identities, and experiences of their youth. Effective teaching is essential, but I also empower students to fulfill their potential as musicians by fostering critical thinking, nurturing curiosity, and creating a lifelong passion for learning, both academically and personally."
