I love my role as a guitar tutor and I’m determined to help you get the best results from your practice. I have played in a wide variety of bands over the years, thus I have extensive gigging and studio recording experience.

02. Professionalism

I have been teaching for over 25 years throughout many schools, in partnership with the organisation Music for Life, the private primary school – The Firs and in the private music school – Tafelmusik. I am CRB/DBS checked.

03. Patience

I help beginning and frustrated guitarists achieve their goals and make fast progress. My aim is to keep frustration to a minimum and make the process as enjoyable as possible. Happy guitarists play the guitar more, so improvement tends to be faster.
