Tom is an outstanding guitar teacher who truly understands how to connect with his students. His lessons are engaging, well-structured, and tailored to my goals and skill level.

Having been a guitarist for going on 13 years now, I can say with confidence that since starting lessons with Tom, I've never enjoyed the process of both learning and playing guitar more than I have right now. Our lessons are tailored specifically towards me and are structured with a good balance of theory and practice, but there's still plenty of scope for me to request a specific song to learn or technique to look at. Tom's passion for his instrument and teaching is obvious and irresistible. I always look forward to our lessons and the next song, technique or point of theory I'll be learning. Thanks Tom! More...

Tom is a tremendously patient tutor, goes at your own pace, but also pushes you when you need it but gently and within the confines of your ability . He was my tutor for about 2 years and whilst I aint no David Gilmour, I felt infinitely more confident in my previously non existent abilities than I dared to wish. On top of all that he is a very nice chap. Highly recommended. More...

Tom has been teaching my teenage son for the past couple of years, I cannot thank him enough for his support. Tom is more than a guitar teacher, lessons are perfectly tuned to ability but so much more importantly to the person he is teaching. My son thoroughly enjoys his time with Tom, not only the learning but also conversations they have about music and the occasional political debate. Tom is a genuinely super good guy with an amazing talent to teach. More...

My daughter (12yo) has been learning electric guitar with Tom for the past 9 months and loves it. He is a calm and patient teacher who has been able to tailor the lessons to suit my daughter's ability and musical preference. She is making really good progress and is learning a lot of skills during her fortnightly lessons. Tom was kind enough to recommend a suitable first guitar and has given us lots of tips of where to find affordable accessories to further her learning. We would recommend Tom to others looking to learn the guitar. A friendly, relaxed approach to teaching - a lovely guy! More...

Hi everybody, I've been taking guitar lessons with Tom since April this year (2024) and I find him to be an excellent teacher I was a total beginner never had even picked up a guitar but had fancied learning how to for years, so now retired it was time to go for it, so glad I did, it's a fantastic thing to learn, I really look forward to my weekly lesson with Tom who is very easy going with a good sence of humour, an extremely knowledgeable guy with all things musical who makes the hour absolutely fly by I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants to learn guitar the proper way

I've been having weekly lessons from Tom Elliott since June 2022 (Nov 2024 as I type), and during that time I've improved dramatically. Tom lets you work on your own choice of music, and guides, directs, corrects and improves your technique as you go. He also gets you to set your own practice and improvement goals for the next lesson, but doesn't give you the third degree if life or work has got in the way by the time your next lesson rolls around and you haven't got as much practice time as you expected. Highly recommended. More...

After playing guitar for many years, without any guidance or teaching, I reached out to Tom. Started lessons with him in January 2024 and haven’t looked back. What I’ve learnt about theory and also different styles of music in 10 months is something I thought impossible before my journey with him. Lessons are fun and well structured and we also manage a laugh or two! Weekly lessons not planning on stopping anytime soon! More...

I have been taking guitar lessons with Tom for just over a year now and I always look forward to our lessons. Tom is a great tutor. He has taught me how to read notes, different strumming techniques including finger plucking and how to understand the beats of the various songs I have learnt. I would totally recommend Tom to anyone who wants to learn guitar as a total beginner or to someone who wants to become a better player. He will take lessons at a pace to suit you and is always very encouraging. More...

Since I began taking guitar lessons with Tom, my ability to play the guitar and my understanding of how music works progressed to a point I previously believed I would never be able to achieve. His lessons are informative, challenging, and enjoyable, and his patient and friendly personality lends itself to teaching. More...

Tom is an excellent guitar teacher who is not only a commited musician but also a genuinely nice guy. Tom's biggest asset is the genuine interest that he shows in people. This is reflected in his lessons where students get excellent results quickly.

In addition Tom's dedication to teaching and providing quiality lessons is shown in the great facilities that he has. He essentially dug a new room in the basement of his house in order to provide even better lessons and kitted it out with the latest equipment to enhance the learning of students.

All in all Tom is the kind of guitar tutor that I wish I had when I was younger and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others looking to take the next step in progressing with guitar. More...
