Private teachers in Beckenham

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.

Elena is a phenomenal teacher with extensive ballet knowledge. Thanks to her corrections, I received compliments from the ballet master in our company on my progress and the cleanliness of my technique. Elena excelled at explaining the logic behind each movement and its impact on my technique, while also being exceptional at helping with artistic expression. I highly recommend her if you are looking to improve your technique whether it’s pirouettes or jumps, or artistic presence.

Sherzad is a very friendly and knowledgable tutor. His lessons teach you practical, useful phrases and explain some of the linguistic theory behind them and how to apply it to other words you have learned. He also teaches at a good pace wherein you learn a lot in a short period without feeling lost or swamped in notes. I look forward to our lessons!
