Guitar Lessons Enfield Teacher - Rory Hildick

My Mission

Experienced Player

I have over 7 years experience teaching guitar and I have taught in London, Berlin and South Korea. I also have years of performing experience as well. I can help students improve all aspects of their playing from technique to picking, chords, scales, theory, understanding and much more. My lessons will be built around you as an individual and I will adapt my teaching style to your learning style and preference.

I am a mobile teacher conducting lessons from a place of your choosing. This means that I will travel to you for your lessons. I think that this is a great way to learn because you can learn in a familiar environment. Being comfortable when learning anything is a really great way to make fast progress and to take in everything you've learned during the lesson.

My Lessons

All Abilities Welcome

Doesn't matter if you're learning your first chord or your fiftieth, I welcome all abilities. In the past, I have taught both young learners and more established players. I will always make a lesson plan that suits boht your ability level and your playing style. I understand that learning to play the guitar isn't easy and that everyone learns at different speeds. I will always make sure my lessons are interesting and informative for all students and I'm always happy to hear suggestions about what you might want to learn and the direction you'd like to learn in.

I teach a wide range of genres and styles including Rock, Pop, Classical, Folk, Blues, Jazz, Soul, Heavy Metal, Klezmer & many more. During our lessons we can learn theory, exams or we can go down the route of learning songs if you feel comfortable with it. I like students to let me know what they want to learn and we can build a lesson plan and learning direction together. I can even help you work towards playing live and performing in future. I've helped plenty of students gain confidence in their playing and their own self confidence as well.

My Experience as a Teacher

I'm a professional musician and teacher based in London. My main instruments are guitar, drums and mandolin. I have more than seven years of teaching experience and over a decade’s experience playing music in professional performances in different cities around the world, including Seoul, Berlin and London.

I began playing the guitar at the age of fourteen, taking lessons from a family friend and starting a school band which played together regularly. After leaving school, I continued my musical education at university, further exploring the guitar as well as taking up the drums and mandolin.

In 2009 I moved to South Korea and formed the instrumental band Ether. We relocated to Berlin in 2013 and there I contributed to various gigs and musical projects in the city's extensive music scene. In 2015, I moved to London and I am now drumming for two touring bands.

More About My Lessons

I am a professional and qualified teacher of over seven years of teaching experience. I have taught students of different ages and skill levels around the world, including South Korea, Berlin and London.

I began my career teaching English as a foreign language, and my wide experience in this field informs the approach I take to teaching an instrument. I was a full-time teacher in South Korea for three years and I taught the drums and guitar as a freelance tutor in Berlin for a year.

I conduct lessons to the highest standards. My 120-hour CELTA course and Berlitz teacher training, as well as my recent experience in a British Council, an accredited school in London, mean I am familiar with many methods for successful teaching, assessment and feedback.
