London Guitarist Turns To Teaching To Earn Money

Sam is a ‘My Guitar Lessons‘ tutor based in Uxbridge, London. Here is what he said about the support we gave him to assist in building his student numbers and earning a wage from teaching guitar;

“Before signing up to ‘My Guitar Lessons’ I’d been trying to get started teaching for 4 months. In that time I had one student for 5 weeks, and a second just starting around Christmas time. I started with ‘My Guitar Lessons’ in January, and 4 months later I have 7 hours a week of regular teaching and I get several new enquiries a month.

‘My Guitar Lessons’ helped me sort out what I had to do with regards to dealing with the tax office through to how to go about being ‘officially’ self employed. The lessons gave me a kick-start with my structured teaching plans, plus it gave me ideas on how to develop my own lessons. The DBS check has been vital for teaching children – I keep it pinned up in my teaching room with my diploma – parents love seeing it!

‘My Guitar Lessons’ has given me a direction to being able to make a living as a guitar tutor, and I feel like I’m well on my way”!
