Tutoring Experience

I am enthusiastic and highly organised guitar, ukulele and singing teacher with over 16 years of experience. Since 2013 I have been teaching at Forest Hill Boys School - delivering individual and group guitar lessons, leading music ensemble for various instruments, music writing workshops, leading Rock Band, Hip- Hop orchestra, helping to prepare for GCSE music exams, guitar grade exams (Trinity College, ABRSM, Rock School), music showcases.
I have experience teaching all age groups - from 5 years old to 75. It’s never too late to learn something new! I am a versatile teacher - I teach jazz, rock, pop and classical guitar.

Tutoring Approach

My strength is my ability to deliver engaging, fun and well structured lessons. I am the type of person who always goes an extra mile to help my students learn and comprehend their lessons regardless of their abilities. I will create a customised learning plan for you depending on your goals, musical taste, abilities and time that you can dedicate for practising.
