Experienced tutor in Guitar in Berkeley, Sean offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Sean was extremely helpful with our lessons, he was very understanding with some out-of-the-blue cancelations. He was also very encouraging and a great teacher.

He's the best i really recommend sean

We have been with Sean now for about 2 years and have seen a marked improvement in our daughter's guitar playing. Her technique has gotten significantly better, but more importantly is that her enthusiasm for lessons has come back. Sean allows and encourages her to play contemporary music while still focusing on the traditional basics, which I think resonates really well. My daughter is excited to learn the latest Taylor Swift song, or the most recent Imagine Dragons riff... despite my yearning for more Jimi Hendrix / Stevie Ray Vaughan kind of stuff... which I'm sure Sean could teach her as well, if she would only request it. He's a great guitar teacher and an all around good guy. We highly recommend Sean.

Patient. Knowledgeable

Sean is a very kind and supportive person. With lots of practice and lessons with him I can guarantee that you’ll get better at playing the guitar.

Taught me a lot of great techniques I will continue using forever, as well as taking lots of time to make sure I was on the right track.

My 8-year-old son had never played any musical instrument before starting guitar with Sean a couple of months ago. I know nothing about music, but I can see that my son is very into it and looks forward to his lesson every week and to practicing on his own. I feel that Sean is patient and able to respond to my son's needs in getting him going. He is also very supportive in explaining to me how my son can practice (seeing as how I know nothing).

Sean approaches lessons with an open mind and I feel he learns about the student first before he tries to teach. I came into the lessons after playing guitar for over ten years, but being completely self taught. Sean politely showed me the gaps I had in my own learning. He then taught me a systematic way to practice and how to help myself learn further, without overlooking the critical paths. He also showed me things to pay attention to that I hadn't before. Since taking the lessons my playing has improved dramatically. I am very glad I took the lessons and will continue to!

Great and versatile player who sets clear and reachable goals that make a real difference in your skills. I've accomplished more in a short time with Sean than I've done in years alone.

Sean understood the level I was at and helped me improve from there with clear communication and personalization.
