Hello, my name's Drue and I'm a full time guitar teacher who lives in South London. I've been teaching for 6 years and I've taught 165 students and counting. I'm dedicated, patient and above all passionate about my job. I have many satisfied students of all ages and backgrounds. My aim is to create lifelong learners who enjoy their practice and reach their goals. I do this by planning bespoke lessons tailored to my students individual needs. I teach from my home in Colliers Wood and I do travel to lessons. Check the bottom of this page to see if I travel to your area. The first lesson is free.

Learning any new instrument should be a fun and rewarding process. I like to encourage a friendly and spontaneous atmosphere where students are encouraged to ask questions and learn the songs they want to. That's not to say I'm going to teach you to run before you can walk, but all of my lessons are centred around your goals as a guitarist. In our first lesson together I'll give you a free evaluation and from there we'll set out a concise plan to get you where you want to be with your playing.

I specialise in teaching acoustic, rock and fingerstyle guitar. From my background as a singer/songwriter, I have many years experience in writing acoustic songs and perfecting my rhythm guitar playing. This also influences my teaching approach as I believe that writing your own music is important to your development as a musician. I also teach music theory, ear study, scales, arpeggios, the CAGED system and lead guitar technique among many other skills. Over the years I've built up a huge collection of songs and sheet music that I love to share with my students. I enjoy learning new songs that my students recommend, so if there's anything you'd like to play then just let me know.

I can teach all ages and I have an enhanced CRB check. I've also been accepted into the Registry of Guitar Tutors. I currently teach group lessons at a primary school in Battersea. If you'd like to learn grades then the Rockschool syllabus is ideal for any young rocker.

I teach from my home studio in Colliers Wood or I can travel to your home. Areas that I cover are, Balham, Clapham, Streatham, Battersea, Sloane Square, Kensington, Earls Court, Sutton, Croydon, Camberwell, Kennington, Oval, London Bridge, Tooting, Earlsfield, Wimbledon, Morden, Baker Street, Stockwell, Brixton, Mitcham and Parsons Green. If I haven’t listed your area then please contact me to see if I will travel to you.
