Mickey M
Versatile Guitar tutor
My name is Mickey, I'm a 23 year old guitarist who has been playing for around twelve years now. Throughout that time I have been taught professionally by other tutors during my school and college life. This means I have had a lot of experience seeing how others teach and have been shown different areas of guitar such as technique, rhythm and many different styles of playing. I am wanting to pass this down to other beginners as I am now interested in assisting others going down that same route!Although obviously teaching students about technique and simply how to go about playing the guitar is...

Farrokh K
Farrokh is an amazing guitar teacher. As an adult autistic learner, Farrokh’s lessons are perfectly broken down into understandable chunks and he takes the time to explain everything fully and explain why things work like they do. I look forward to my lessons every week and would recommend him to anyone wanting to start learning the guitar.

Perry S
I’m not even on my fourth lesson yet with Perry, but I can already say that I’m extremely happy to have him as my teacher! Perry is an incredibly knowledgeable guitarist, and his passion for teaching is evident from the start. You can really feel his enthusiasm and love for guitar throughout the entire lesson :)
Each lesson is very well planned, and I always leave feeling like I’ve made significant progress. Perry adapts to your learning pace while keeping the lessons both fun and challenging. He’s always motivating and encouraging, which makes the learning process very enjoyable ! The lessons are engaging, and he makes sure to include your favourite songs in the lessons.
Not only is Perry a great teacher, but he’s also a very talented guitar composer. I had the chance to hear one of his compositions, and I was absolutely blown away !!
If you want to learn your favourite songs while having fun and discovering so many interesting techniques and facts about guitar, Perry is the right teacher for you! (whether you're new to guitar or experienced) I couldn’t recommend him enough :)
