Drummer and Percussionist teaching Drum Kit and Tabla in London and Essex

Ricky is an excellent tutor: an expert on his subject matter; reliable; confident; and trustworthy. He tutored my son in ALevel Chemistry and he achieved an A star (CAG was a B!). My son said he was significantly better than the chemistry teachers that taught him at a decent public school. He is also very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend his services without hesitation. Fantastic tutor!

Ricky is a gifted percussionist, tabla player and a great teacher. He goes above and beyond to ensure musical concepts are broken down into bite-size and easy to digest pointers and works with his students to quickly establish the basics of rhythm as a foundation and then build from there. I found Ricky's teaching method to be very effective, he has always been willing to explain and help me how to increase clarity and precision for tabla through various simple exercises and his own experience. One thing I found in particular, is he is very good at gauging a students current ability and then challenging them to improve to a new level. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Ricky has tutored my 15 year old daughter in GCSE Double Science as she has been off of school due to illness.
He is is a great teacher who has the ability to bring the syllabus to life. He is fun, enagaging and relatable.
My daughter has learnt a lot since working with him.

I am 6 years old and I have been learning tabla with Uncle Ricky for a year. I think my Tabla lessons are amazing because we learn exciting beats and bols (tabla language). Uncle Ricky is an extraordinary teacher because he’s so funny and he helps me to understand things by telling jokes. I have learnt so many compositions and variations that I cannot count them. I love my lessons because Uncle Ricky is so cool and plays the drums too. I look forward to my lessons because they are just so much fun!

Ricky is a patient, devoted and highly gifted teacher. We had been looking around for some time for a tabla teacher for our 5-year-old son. At the first lesson our son was engaged and felt comfortable enough to ask questions. We have been amazed at how Ricky has motivated our son who is willing to practice at home without much persuasion. Ricky is a generous teacher who goes to great lengths to make sure our son has understood a phrase and also shares loads of material and pieces. Ricky is an excellent musician who also has a keen understanding of drum kit, piano and vocal music which makes him a versatile teacher. Ricky is an outstanding teacher and we would definitely recommend him without hesitation.

Ricky is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced science and maths tutor. He specialises in Chemistry having achieved a PhD in the subject from Oxford and has tutored other Oxford students during his time there. He also is an avid musician playing and teaching both drums and tabla. He is very patient, enthusiastic and encouraging and I thoroughly recommend him as a tutor!

Ricky is a great percussionist and has immense knowledge and understanding of music. He is a very good tutor and teaches his students with good care and patience. He makes it simple to understand and teaches step by step, making the learning process easy as well as interesting. I'd definitely recommend him.

Ricky has been teaching me both the Indian drums (tabla) and western drums for the past 2 years. When I started, I was a novice but I feel I have progressed rapidly under his tutelage. I would highly recommend him as he is a fantastic teacher. Thank you Ricky
