Piano Teacher Expenses to claim

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hello Everybody,
I registered more than one month ago as Self Employed to be a piano teacher as second job.
I would like to ask you some clarification about the expenses I can claim.
Travels
I do not lessons at my home. I use to finish to my first job and go directly to my student (by Tube) and, when I finish, to return at Home.
Books
I buy sometimes some sheet music to use in my lesson.
Food
I use to buy some food (sandwich or coffee) between a journey and an other when I have to reach my students.
Mobile
I have a monthly contract which I pay the smartphone and the minutes, text, etc. I use to call, text to organise the lessons and the internet to find the place if I need. Obviously it is for personal use as well.
Could I think as expenses all of this things?
Thank you,
Giorgio

I would say yes to all, but you would only claim a portion of the mobile costs as there is personal usage as well.0

In the specific:
Which tube travels can I claim?
From employed job to student's house? I am not sure
From student's house to other student's house? I think yes
From student's house to my home? I think no
Is it right?
Thanks0
