Stephanie Veber

Founder of SthSide Project, Stephanie has always been inspired by the way music and languages connect people and cultures. Growing up in a Hungarian-Australian family and surrounded by languages from an early age, she developed a deep love for learning about other cultures, a passion that has shaped her career.

Stephanie has been teaching Japanese and Spanish in Melbourne schools since 2016 and has also tutored Japanese, Spanish, and English (EAL) for much longer. Alongside her work as a language teacher, she began teaching piano in 2010 and has since shared her love of music with students of all ages and abilities.

Bringing these passions together, Stephanie created SthSide Project as a space where music, languages, and the arts meet, a place to explore creativity, culture, and connection.
