What do students think? Some lovely, warm and glowing compliments about me below...

I wanted to study to become a guitar tutor and had already completed some of my examinations. However, the biggest examination was proving to be a problem and I had failed once already. Gary, with his properly certified qualifications, was able to show me where the examiners wanted me to improve and I was finally able to pass my examination. I was so happy to meet Gary and would always recommend him to anyone. Anon, India
When I retired from teaching, I decided to learn to play guitar and Gary taught me for around 6yrs. I found him to be an inspirational teacher who is always encouraging and motivating me. He has a way of explaining things that anyone can understand and grasp. I am of a certain age and was really apprehensive for years about starting to learn, but the overall feel of the lessons is so positive and put me at ease almost immediately. Jon, London
"I was playing guitar for almost 2 years when I met Gary, purely by chance. I was impressed with his enthusiasm and knowledge and also noticed that he explained things far better than others. I booked an initial lesson and learnt more in that lesson than in the previous 2 years! I believe that Gary saved me years of wasted effort. I would absolutely recommend Gary". Anon. UK
As a school teacher, I was eager to find a qualified teacher to teach my son to play guitar. However, I had almost given up, because it is very hard to find a properly qualified person to teach it seems! Gary was a real find, as he is incredibly well-qualified and has a way about him that is just so encouraging. I employed Gary for my son right through his school years and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Seriously, when you find a teacher this good, you don't let them go!
