About Matt Sofianos

Private Guitar, Violin & Bass teacher based in Surrey. Associate Tutor – Rockschool / RSL Classical.

I hold RSL grade 8 certificates in guitar, violin and bass.

Many of my students follow the RSL syllabus and I have a track record of exam success. I have also helped young students gain entry into ACM Guildford, North Kent College and The Brit School.

I am equally happy teaching students who don’t wish to follow any academic path and prefer to fulfil their specific musical agendas.

“Matt Sofianos is an excellent teacher! His knowledge, patience and enthusiasm are infectious. I have been playing guitar for over 10 years and have learnt so much with him in the last year, far more than in the preceding 10! My son aged 12 has started with him and he is progressing excellently with Matt's tuition - we are both doing the Rockschool grades with him! He comes highly recommended!”
