I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

من أنا؟
I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I specialise in playing jazz although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk and indie music. I have a real love for improvisation and enjoy teaching students how to begin to improvise and find their own musical voice.

I have recently moved to Berlin in order to pursue my career playing and teaching music. Whilst living in Leeds I studied jazz guitar and regularly played gigs all over the UK with different acts from diverse musical backgrounds.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions, whether it’s learning your first chords or working on improvisation or music theory, we can work together with the methods that suit you to get you there!

It is important to me to strike a balance of making music and learning how to apply music theory in an interesting way. I have a good understanding of jazz theory so if you are thinking of branching out and expanding your knowledge of music theory I can help out there!

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons which push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

Testimonial:

"George is a great guitar teacher. He inspired and motivated students to fulfil their potential at our large 11-18 school planning engaging solo and group lessons and leading Junior and Senior Rock Bands to perform at events such as Bradford School's Prom. He had excellent recruitment and retention rates and his students loved their lessons. I am happy to recommend him as a Guitar teacher."

- Sarah Ross-Shaw, Musical Futures UK Champion Teacher & Olympia Leader at St. Bede's and St. Joseph's College.
المستوى التعليمي
I have a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar from Leeds College of Music, including a semester studying Pedagogy - the theory and practice of teaching. During my degree I focused mainly on jazz but also branched out to more experimental projects and briefly studied Indian Classical music.

Having just moved to Germany unfortunately my German is not particularly good so unfortunately I can only offer lessons in English at the moment. It is something I am working on so hopefully soon I can offer lessons also in German.
الخبرة / المؤهلات
Guitar, Bass and Band Tutor for "Learn to Rock" - a music teaching agency in the north of England 2014-16

Guitar, Bass, Ukulele and Band Tutor at St Bede's and St Joseph's College, Bradford. 2015-18

Private tuition around Leeds, England 2014-2018

Over the years alongside teaching I have been an active professional musician playing around 100 concerts or gigs per year around the UK and occasionally in Europe. These gigs range from small jazz shows in bars to large stages at festivals such as Boomtown Fair, London International Ska Festival or Manchester Jazz Festival. I can offer plenty of advice and tips to students wanting to play music live or wondering how to start or how to have fun getting on a stage in front of people for the first time.

I also love to compose music and really love exploring the fascinating world of composition with students. I write for a large range of styles and my compositions have received airplay on UK radio stations such as BBC radio 3, BBC radio 6 Music and BBC radio 1Xtra.

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

You will learn how to play simple chords on grids, sing pop songs, and publish your songs or covers on YouTube.

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!


Thank you and have a lovely day

Hello ! My name is Wassim I am a guitar teacher recently arrived to berlin, and I’m thrilled to List this class !
With 14 years of playing guitar and 5 years of teaching all ages (starting from 8 years old), I’ve developed a knack for making learning fun and engaging for my students.

I’ve recently written a book called "Modern Method of Learning Guitar," which will be published soon. It sums up my teaching philosophy and the program I’ve created over the years. I focus on interactive lessons that help students come out of their shells and really enjoy the process of learning music.

I co-founded a music school that’s been really successful back in my home town, Algeria. We had many students who all gave us positive feedback and achieved great results. And I can confidently say that while I don’t have an academic degree in music, my hands-on experience and deep love for music have more than prepared me for this role.

I’m a sociable person who loves creating a welcoming classroom environment. Seeing students grow in confidence and skill is the best part of my job. I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my passion and experience e to your learning process.

Thanks for considering my class ! I’d love to chat more about how I can contribute to your music Journey.

As a guitar teacher, I tailor my lessons individually to the needs and goals of my students, whether you are a beginner or an advanced guitarist, I will help you improve your playing techniques and develop your own musical style. The lessons are practice-oriented and offer a mix of technique, music theory and lots of practical exercises on the instrument.

Typical lesson flow:
1. Discuss your progress and goals.
2. Learn new techniques and pieces.
3. Putting the content into practice and applying it.
4. Comments and tips for your own game.

Special feature as a teacher: I combine in-depth technical knowledge with a positive and patient approach. My goal is not only to teach you the basics and advanced techniques, but also to promote your creativity and musicality.

Who are the lessons for? Guitarists of all levels who want to develop their skills, regardless of their style or previous experience. Ideal for those who want to develop musically.

With over 18 years of professional experience as a musician and music teacher, I have created a specialized, proprietary curriculum proven to significantly enhance musical skills, regardless of the student's background.

My core approach is personalized pedagogy: I prioritize understanding each student's individual learning style and personality to create a perfectly tailored lesson plan. I don't just teach you; I empower you to master the art of self-instruction.

Areas of Specialization
1. Rock & Blues Guitar (Beginner to Advanced)

-Technique: Sweep picking, alternate picking, and speed development.

-Improvisation: Practical application of modes for rock and blues soloing.

-Repertoire: Learning through famous rock songs and exploring pedal/multi-effects.

2. Jazz Guitar (Intermediate to Advanced)

-Theory & Harmony: In-depth study of modes, triads, intervals, and advanced chord voicings.

-Practical Application: Analyzing standard chord changes (e.g., ii-V-I) and transcribing classic solos.

-Improvisation: Developing harmonic sensibility and fluency on the fretboard.
