Tutoring Experience:

I began guitar at the age of 5 and have never stopped since! I have been teaching guitar professionally for 8 years now and have gone from teaching a few pupils privately in my home to teaching 30+ pupils a week in two of London`s top primary/senior schools (City of London Girls School and Wimbledon College) as well as giving public masterclasses. My pupils range from absolute beginners as young as 5 to adults pursuing a hobby.

Though the majority of my pupils study classical/fingerstyle guitar, I also have a few pupils learning acoustic and electric guitar.

I have a 100% students pass rate for music exams. Every student I have entered into an exam has received a pass or better, be it ABRSM, Trinity or Rockschool.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a friendly and understanding tutor who adapts to each individual students needs depending on their aims and ability. I encourage people to do grades if they are happy to do so as I feel they are beneficial, provide us with a target, give structure to lessons and learning and are a good way of measuring progress.
