Personal Description:
Hello! My name is Garrie and I'm a professional tutor in the West of Scotland area serving areas such as South/North Lanarkshire, Glasgow, etc.
I am a Grade 8 musician and have played and studied the guitar, bass, keyboard and drums and produced music for about 20 years, and in that time have developed a wealth of experience playing a variety of genres and contexts that I'm eager to pass to those with an interest in picking up an instrument, or learning music theory or music production skills.
I specialise in popular music genres such as rock/metal (particularly progressive varieties), jazz, pop, funk, blues, etc.
Tutoring Experience:
I have worked as a teacher in many contexts over the past decade - from teaching engineering honours degree modules at the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, supervising Masters degree research and private tutoring in Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Engineering-related SQA qualifications to secondary school and college students.
I am currently the highest rated tutor for Maths, Physics and Engineering here on FirstTutors, with almost 80 5/5 star reviews - you can read them here:
https://www.firsttutors.com/uk/tutor/garre.maths.physics/
I have taught guitar, bass, drums and music production for about 5 years now My wealth of teaching experience prior to this means that my guitar students get access to the same high quality teachings methods as all students in other subjects.
Tutoring Approach:
Each individual student has different goals, and different needs. It is therefore my aim that tailor the material taught to the individual student, with them having a large say in the direction the tuition goes.
If you've never played guitar before, and just want to learn a few chords so you can jam along to your favourite tunes, I will develop a program of teaching to get you there. If you've been playing for a while, but your playing is stuck in a rut, and you want to expand your ability to improvise, play by ear, expand your knowledge of music theory and apply it better, then I can develop a program for all that too. If you want something laid back and casual, that's no problem, and if you want something highly structured working towards exams and qualifications like Rockschool, that's no problem either!
Whether you want to learn rock, metal, pop, , funk, jazz - I can help you!
In addition to the face-to-face lesson, students also receive online access to a wealth of teaching materials including song sheets, sheet music, technical exercises, songwriting exercises, etc, all together with a program of learning that suits their needs.

From Elaine (/5): I booked Garrie for firstly a one off session - then went on to book a block of 5 sessions for my son leading up to his higher maths exam.
The entire process was extremely easy to navigate.
Its been an eye opener for my son to recieve one to one teaching and hes found it incredibly useful - having no distractions and concentrating on exactly the what hed been struggling with.
Garrie has been professional throughout the whole process - and always communicated easily.
Our last session - the day before the exam was an online meeting - due to covid - and my son expressed that it was just as good - even when hed been a bit hesitant.
Thanks Garrie - just results now!

From Craig (/5): Garrie has been helping me with my Mathematics for Engineering units over the last year, and has been absolutely excellent. For example, Maths 5 is the highest level Maths unit currently covered at college level in any college in the whole country. I scored 100% in my assessment, this would never have happened without Garrie's help.
I will be progressing to year 3 of the B.Eng. Electrical Engineering degree come September, and have full confidence in my ability to complete the course knowing I have Garrie's assistance with the electrical theory units.
I would thoroughly recommend Garrie to anyone, his knowledge and understanding, and ability to convey information in an easy to understand and relatable way is tremendous.

From Kathleen (/5): I was very lucky to find someone with such expertise as Garrie to help our grandson when he was in difficulties with his aeronautical engineering degree. His lessons have proved to be invaluable in my grandson's preparations to resit some of his units as he has increased his knowledge and helped him target his revision as well as elucidate areas he was finding difficult, showing him different methods to those taught at his university. Indeed we would have liked more lessons if Garrie had been able to fit them in to his busy schedule. We hope he will continue to be available for follow up lessons during the rest of Luke's course.
Reply from: Garrie: Thank you Kathleen for you kind comments. It was a pleasure to help Luke, and of course I'd be happy to hear from you again if he needs more assistance.

Reply from: Garrie: Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for the kind feedback. It was a pleasure to tutor Laura, and I'm glad to hear she done so well, and even more chuffed she's taking Physics forward. Look forward to seeing her in the new school year, and send her my congratulations.

Thanks Garrie Chelsea loves it.

From Sv (/5): Mr Garrie is tutoring my son and provides help for his higher Physics exam this year. He is very knowledgable on the subject and with ease explains complex questions. On top of that he will teach you unseen tricks with the calculator and various other shortcuts, for example with equations, which can save loads of valuable time on the actual exam. Just by walking in the room he gave a beam of hope that even for a limited time you can prepare and be successful at the exam. Fabulous, thank you!

From Greg (/5): Garrie has been a great help in getting me up to speed with Advanced Higher level maths. He has been very patient and has great knowledge of the subject, breaking it down to an understandable level for someone to learn. As someone who is not confident with their mathematics I would highly recommend Garrie as a tutor. He has helped me immensely.
Reply from: Garrie: Thanks for the kind words, Greg!
From Peter (/5): Garrie has a very structural (I would say academical) approach. That way you can see your target and you know when you hit it.
He is very precise. He's got everything planned in advance and everything gets covered at the end of the lesson.
He sets out an example by solving all the tasks along with the student and then leaves the notes afterward. And that is Excellent!
His explanations are simple and clear.
Thank you Garrie.

From Anne (/5): Thank you Garrie for the help you have provided to date. Lindsay has gained so much confidence in the weeks you have been visiting and no longer dreads the thought of her Higher Maths exam.! She enjoys your teaching methods and finds you very approachable .She has really benefited from the one to one and we are happy that you are now also assisting her with her Physics Higher work.
To anyone that is thinking of some private tuition i would say it is money well spent to see your child's confidence increase in such a way.
Thanks again Garrie and see you again at the weekend

From Helen (/5): I used Garrie for a couple of months before my son's Maths Standard Credit exam. He immediatey established a rapport with Charlie and they got on very well… Charrlie was sruggling when he met Garrie but by the time he went into his exam he was feeling a lot more confident. We don't have the result yet but whatever they are I will continue to use Garrie as I coild see how my son had improved in the time they worked together. I would have no hesitation in recommending Garrie to others.
