About me

Hi! I’m a passionate guitar teacher based in South Tyneside, with 17 years of playing experience. I achieved LCME Electric Guitar – Grade 8 (Distinction) and hold a HND in Music (Artist Development). I’m also a member of the Musicians’ Union and hold an enhanced DBS certificate, providing additional reassurance for students and parents. I love helping beginners and intermediate players grow in confidence and ability. I offer personalised, one-to-one lessons in the comfort of your own home, tailoring each lesson to your pace, goals, and musical taste. Whether you want to understand music theory, improve your technique, or just play your favourite songs, we’ll build your skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. Lessons focus on practical playing — using guitar tablature, chord charts, and learning by ear — so you can start making music quickly without getting overwhelmed by traditional notation. I offer a free taster session for your first lesson so we can chat about your goals, discuss what you'd like to achieve, and get you started. If that sounds good to you, get in touch and let’s play some music!
