Whether we’re working on rhythm, lead, or theory, every lesson feels like a step forward. I also love the thoughtful extras he provides, like detailed session notes and recap videos, which make practice between lessons so much easier. It's been abundantly clear from the start that Tom is 100% invested in his clients and genuinely takes pride in seeing them progress along their journey as a musician.

My son is loving these sessions, Tom is so easy to get on with and my son is a nervous, shy lad but feels as ease with Tom. He is over the moon that he is into ‘cool music‘ as they have the same tastes! Tom has personalised the lessons specifically to my son’s taste/interests in music and this has made the sessions so much more enjoyable! As he is learning exactly what he wants to learn, couldn’t ask for a better tutor.

I’ve been playing guitar for around 20 years, but like many musicians, I hit the dreaded intermediate plateau and struggled to move past it alone. Deciding to take lessons was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I’m so glad I found Tom. After just five lessons, I’ve seen incredible progress, and my practice routine is more effective and rewarding than ever before.
