I am a qualified music teacher, having achieved a BMus 2:1 degree in Professional Music Performance on Guitar from The Academy Of Contemporary Music, and a Higher National Diploma Music Practice - Guitar & Keys. Alongside this, I have passed ABRSM Grade 8 Piano and ABRSM Grade 5 Theory.
I also have plenty of performance experience which I can draw upon to help you with everything from your confidence levels to playing with backing tracks. Overall, you will always be guided on all aspects of your playing and understanding.

I like to create a tailored lesson plan with my students based on their individual goals and interests, together then we can create a plan of lessons to improve playing technique and skills whilst learning the music you love.

Where to get guitar related gear in Guildford
Guildford only has a few options when it comes to guitar shops but it is lucky enough to be the site of one of the biggest retailers in the UK. Here are the places I would recommend.
Andertons, is probably one of the biggest guitar retailers in the UK. Since 1964 Andertons has been selling stock for all kinds of musicians from beginner to professional. Located on Vincent House, 58-59 Woodbridge Rd, Guildford GU1 4RF.
Brian Cohen Luthier, is by far the best place to go if you are looking for someone who does amazing guitar repairs. You can find them at The Old Glasswork, Alexandra Pl, Guildford GU1 3QH.
I'm an experience player and performer who can help you really improve your playing in more ways than one. I will always build our lesson plan around the styles of music that you enjoy listening too and will make both guitar and music easy to understand and use.
