Trusted teacher: My name is Luke and I am a 24 year old, multi-award winning guitarist from Greenwich, London. I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher and am adept at all varieties of guitar playing, including, classical, acoustic, electric and bass. Regarding my previous experience in tutoring, I have given 1000's of hours of guitar tuition both privately and in school settings. These experiences have given me a keen sense of how to motivate students and offer them concise and useful advice. I have worked at many excellent institutions in the past, including Streatham and Clapham Girls' School (one of the top private girls schools in the country), Orpington Music Studio, The Royal Arsenal School of Music and Canada Blanch Music Academy. I have found over my experiences of being taught and then eventually teaching that the best method for getting the most out of a student is to listen. If the tutor is acutely aware of where their student needs help and where they are already confident, they can tailor classes carefully to make the best use of the time allowed and to get the maximum potential out of them. This philosophy leads to classes being student-oriented, in that the student leads the tuition. The tutor acts as a supportive crutch, first working through problems together, then allowing them to explore it themselves with the tutor to lean back on. In my first years of training, like many others, I completed grades. Because of this I have a very good knowledge of what it takes to move along this system. However, the grade system should not be seen as the only way to learn an instrument. The same achievement can be gained through simple discussion between student and teacher and the correct prescription of pieces and studies to work on. I am more than happy to walk down whatever avenue they wish to explore. I would love to hear from you in the future. Thank you.

 “I’m really loving the feels of that” BBC Introducing “Filled with delicate nuances” Folk Radio TESTIMONIALS: "My son has had Josh as a guitar tutor for 6 years. I can highly recommend him. He has a fantastic manner and rapport with his students. He is an exceptionally skilled guitar player and tutor. My son has made phenomenal progress with Josh and has enjoyed working with Josh towards his Trinity Grades in classical guitar. In addition, Josh has motivated my son to compose his own music - with fabulous results." Amanda "Josh is very talented. He is flexible about what we play and finds things that suit my ability. He creates a fun environment to learn." Arthur, aged 14 "Josh has been teaching my son electric and electro-acoustic guitar for a year. His stimulating and relaxed approach means that I find my son plays his guitar on a daily basis just because he enjoys it, yet he is still covering quite a lot of technical stuff." Polly "My 12-year old daughter has been taking guitar classes with Joshua Geffin for over a year now. Previously she tried a couple of different instruments and music teachers but even though she is very musical and loves music, she would get bored and lose interest after a while. Josh’s inspirational and creative approach to teaching changed all this. She became passionate about playing her guitar, singing and writing her own music. Practicing is no longer a chore but fun and she looks forward to her class every week. In a relatively short period she made remarkable progress and has recently won a full music scholarship at Kingsdale." Duska "I took up the guitar in my 30s and am far from a natural musician! I’ve had a few teachers – all brilliant guitarists - but none have quite combined the same high level of patience, encouragement and flexibility as Josh. He let’s me play music I love and progress at my own pace. As a ‘mature’ student with an incredibly busy job, it is important that I don’t feel under pressure if I haven’t played between lessons. Josh is completely understanding of this and the fact that he teaches at my home is a massive bonus. He is a natural and talented teacher and I would not hesitate to recommend his lessons to anyone of any level." Jeanette "I have been having lessons with Josh for around 2 years now. He has really helped develop and improve the quality of my playing and also my appreciation of music as a whole and I am very happy with my progress. The lessons are always relaxed and enjoyable, but also professional with a focus and tailor-made according to my own personal goals, which I like. I prefer to concentrate on learning songs and to experiment with a variety of genres. Josh helps me do that and he keeps things fun by mixing in improvisation sessions and technique development to bring me on and help me improve as a player." Pete

Guitar Lessons for Beginners - Berlin, in English. (Dunswell)
Jonathan
Jonathan is a great teacher and will easily adapt the session depending on your level. We are two students (absolute beginner and a more advanced) studying for an hour each week, and we already learned a lot from him! I highly recommend Jonathan if you are looking to learn or improve your skills :D

Songwriter/Producer offering tuition in Production, Mixing and Songwriting Cubase (7-11) and Logic Pro X (Garage Band to learn the basics). (Acton)
Paolo
I shared a Cubase project with Paolo and he provided very specific feedback and suggestions on my mix that I'm sure will improve the quality of my music production and my confidence in my sound. I'm looking forward to my next lesson.

I had a valuable lesson with chris. I have been playing for 4 years. He was very knowledgable in the areas of composition I was interested in and was able to identify how I should improve.
