My Reviews
Sam is a patient, knowledgeable teacher who I can recommend. Being self-taught,Sam is not only helping me become a better guitar player, but a better musician overall!

I'm an intermediate player and Sam is doing a great job helping me with theory and filling in the gasping my knowledge. He has also given me plenty of exercises to learn too. Highly recommended

Only done 2 lessons so far, so good! My son has really enjoyed them and its worked really well in the online format.

I am pleased to let you know that we have just heard that Joe passed his Grade 1 RGT Guitar with Distinction.
I also wanted to say thank you for your patience, skill, enthusiasm and ability as a teacher. You make the lessons informative as well as fun creating a perfect learning environment and I am sure this was a major contributor towards Joe’s success. He is keen to proceed quickly to Grade 2 and I know you will have him ready in time as well as finding time to teach him the Ed Sheeran and other tunes he is keen to learn.
Please share this email with any prospective clients as a reference and if they wish to contact me directly I will be pleased to answer any questions they may have.
Kind regards

"I wanted to learn how to play the guitar, as an absolute beginner i didn't even have a clue about the anatomy of guitar let alone knowing how to play it. His easy-going manner, his ability to take it at a pace that allows even the slowest students like myself to develop has given me the confidence to develop a drive and passion to learn. Each week, it's small manageable steps that has allowed me not to lose motivation. If you are an absolute beginner and want someone to gently motivate you..Sam is the best choice for you and you will be learning from someone who clearly has talent, professionalism and intelligence."
Rizwan, Wapping
"Sam is an excellent guitar teacher, and a fun person to be around. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxed and engaging. At the same time there is absolutely no compromise on the quality of work.
When i first met Sam, it was apparent straight away that he has a keen ear, and very quickly understood my (few) strengths and (many) weaknesses as a guitar player. Playing any musical instrument requires great attention to small detail and Sam particularly excels at this.
I have faced many obstacles with my playing, and every time I've hit a brick wall, Sam has always displayed wit, intelligence and imagination in abundance to help me overcome these difficulties.
That I can play the instrument a little bit now is entirely as a result of the excellence of Sam's teaching.

I’ve been having lessons with Sam for over a year now. He’s a really knowledgeable and patient tutor. Very reliable and his lessons are always fun. I definitely recommend him.
I was Sam's student for a year and a half and he definitely surpassed my expectations as a tutor. Sam understood from the beginning the kind of student I was and what my needs to make the most of the lessons were. He always offered moral support and encouraged me to feel confident when playing guitar. He showed me lots of tricks and tips to ensure I was making progress with the instrument and always remained polite and kind. He was often willing to go the extra mile to ensure I understood the tasks given. I highly recommend Sam as a tutor since he is not only a passionate musician but also an amazing teacher.
Sam is a great guitar teacher and I have really enjoyed learning to play the guitar with him. After the first lesson, I asked if he would teach some small groups of children at the school where I work and since then we have all made so much progress and really look forward to our lessons. Sam explains things really well and lessons are always fun. He chooses great songs to learn and gets the best out of all his students. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar.
I started taking lessons from Sam as a complete beginner and can happily say that I have progressed far more in the last few months than I ever expected. Whenever I have encountered any difficulties in learning a new technique, his patience and excellent attention to detail has helped me to overcome any issues. I have always felt encouraged to learn material that I previously thought was too difficult for me but has actually helped me to reach my own individual goals in a shorter amount of time. His passion for music and playing guitar inspires me to challenge myself and set bigger goals. The fact that I feel more confident in my ability to play my favourite songs after only a few months of learning is testament to how much of an excellent teacher he is.
