Alex is an excellent teacher! He is very patient and understands the needs of each student. I was so happy to learn to play the songs of my favourite artists, such as Amy Winehouse and Billie Eilish! I strongly recommend him as a guitar teacher!

I recently took guitar lessons with Alexander and I cannot recommend him enough. Not only did he help me learn some of my favourite songs on guitar, but he also improved my English-speaking skills through our conversations during lessons. Alexander is an extremely patient and knowledgeable teacher who tailored each lesson to my needs. He easily improved both my guitar playing and English-speaking skills simultaneously. Every lesson was a joy, and I always came away feeling excited to continue practicing what I learned. Alexander has an amazing ability to break down complex techniques and make them easy to understand. He is a fantastic guitar teacher and an excellent conversationalist who truly cares about his students. If you are looking for a guitar teacher who is patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping you master the instrument, then I highly recommend Alexander ??.
