I have been taking acoustic guitar lessons with Samuel since May and look forward to learning from him each week!
Samuel has adapted well to my ways of learning, and is patient, calm and kind in his approach.
He combines the teaching of theory and practice well: building from the previous week and making it fascinating in the process. If I find anything challenging, he is understanding and able to adapt to it, finding different ways to help me learn.
He is punctual, passionate and proficient, I highly recommend that you book lessons with him.

Samuel's concise explanations of theoretical concepts go hand in hand with his ability to ground them in practical exercises. I was able to progress across a range of key skills within a short time and explore more advanced harmonic and melodic concepts.

Samuel is a fantastic guitar tutor. As well as being technically proficient with phenomenal theoretical knowledge, he completely understands the bigger picture with examples and applications of what you are studying - has significantly improved my playing and the way I look at music. He is also structured, clear and patient in his approach. Would highly recommend. [Alexander T]
Samuel is a great tutor with an incredible amount of musical knowledge. He manages to find the right balance between music theory and practice and always listens to what you want to learn about whilst managing to fit it into a structured learning path.
We started off with face to face lessons (COVID hit) and have since moved to virtual lessons, which seem to work well. I started off as a very early beginner with a little knowledge and he has taught me some very good and useful basics especially around techniques of playing.
I would highly recommend Samuel to all levels looking to get back into guitar!

Samuel taught me both guitar fundamentals and music theory. He was incredibly patient, positive, reliable and punctual, as well as having a really holistic approach to teaching due to his general enthusiasm towards music.
I have a far better grasp of music theory, but Samuel also has shown me how to use this knowledge in a way that feeds into my creative process and musicianship seamlessly.

As well as his thorough understanding of technique and the core musical elements, he demonstrates a serious amount of knowledge and care into looking after his instruments. I found this particularly useful as it taught me the patience and discipline of looking after my own. Samuel’s lessons are diverse, engaging, and all the more, exciting.

I had been playing for about 5-6 months before seeking direct lessons; was able to play along to some easier songs and with a grasp of basic theory.
I have had a handful of virtual lessons with Samuel so far which have been really productive. He's friendly, polite and patient. He has been happy to tailor the lessons around different topics that I've been focusing on at the time to help build my understanding of them, as well as guiding on useful and efficient practise.
