James has excellent teaching skills and he is very kind friendly ,patient and always full of encouragement My son is not only learning but he is also enjoying and looking forward to every lesson! He makes sure that my son knows exactly what to practice and how to practice. In addition to that he also provides him with videos if needed. James is a great teacher and there has been a huge improvement in my son's playing since he started couple of months ago. highly recommend James as a teacher!

James has taught my children guitar during the lockdown and continues still. Online learning has been brilliant and he is able to communicate very easy with the kids in teaching various song's. He closes songs that the kids like to learn and makes it interesting for them. Very professional service.
