Testimonials
Tom is really friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect for a beginner like me. He totally put me at ease and I had fun. I was a bit nervous as I have never had lessons but Tom is really easy to learn from. He is a wonderful tutor and I am already planning my next lesson. Wow. Thanks Tom

Tom was excellent, he listened to what I wanted to achieve and structured the lesson around it. He was very good as assessing my range and ability and managed to assist me in identifying my actual range, which was quite a lot more than I had previously thought. Would definitely recommend Tom
