Private teachers in Aragona

My review is based on two 60 minute online lessons but also on communication outside of the lessons. Mirko comes across as a genuinely nice guy. When messaged, he responds quickly. Last night I had a small question regarding a piece from our lesson, that I wished would be answered prior to our next meeting and he answered in a very timely fashion and to full satisfaction. If you're someone who wants to build a solid foundation, then I think that you don't need to look any further. Like a concrete slab floor that needs hardening prior to further construction, he doesn't rush through material but makes sure that you're ready before the next stage. As I was not a total beginner, Mirko would start at the lowest or near the lowest entry point after I showed him a range of the things that I was familiar with. So a good starting point for me was a simple I-M rest stroke alternation exercice on the first string and he gradually increased the difficulty. He also introduced me to a short piece that I haven't heard before and right now I can play 40% of it and the plan is to play it fully by the next lesson which is a very realistic goal. When it comes to conveying techniques it would be too early to make a comment because as I already had acquired a reasonably good technique, we didn't focus much on it (yet). I will conclude by saying that if you're someone who doesn't like structure and only wants a taste of everything that a guitar has to offer but not really fully digest anything that is presented in front of you, then skip this teacher. I ,for one, am happy that I found Mirko.

Have just completed 6 weeks living in Spain studying Spanish and I can easily say I learned more in my 1 hour classes with Ruben than in a 4 hour day at the Spanish school! Great personalised teaching style, he really pays attention to what you need to improve on and has helpful, fun ways to do so. I really enjoyed the classes and find them super helpful and will continue to study online with Rubén until I’m fluent (or as close as I can be). Muchas gracias Rubén

Amaya is an excellent Spanish teacher, highly attentive to the needs of the student and going way beyond to teach about Spain's history, culture, food, etc. She is also a lovely person and a pleasure to spend time with. Will be resuming lessons the next time i'm back in San Sebastian. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
