About Kieran
I have always been interested in the beauty of languages and how they work, and view the art of articulation as being vitally important in all walks of life. I gained the Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages back in 2013 and have taught a diverse range of students from Europe, Asia and Latin America. I have travelled the world extensively, especially Latin America, and speak (and sing) fluent Spanish.

As a private tutor for English as a foreign language, my primary goal is to create a supportive and personalised learning experience that meets the unique needs and goals of each individual student. Here is an overview of my approach: Needs Assessment: In our initial session, I conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to understand the student's goals, preferred learning style, and any areas of difficulty. Individualised Lesson Plans: Based on the needs assessment, I design customised lesson plans that address the student's linguistic weaknesses and target their desired areas of improvement. Clear Communication and Goal Setting: I maintain open and effective communication with my students to establish clear expectations and goals for each session. Together, we set realistic and achievable objectives that align with their long-term language aspirations. This collaborative approach encourages a sense of ownership and motivation in the learning process. Cultural Awareness and Contextual Learning: Understanding the cultural aspects of a language is crucial for effective communication. I introduce cultural elements, idioms, and expressions within the context of language learning. This approach helps students develop cultural sensitivity, enhances their ability to comprehend native speakers, and enables them to communicate more naturally in real-life situations. By implementing this comprehensive approach, my aim is to empower students with the necessary language skills, cultural understanding, and self-assurance to thrive in English-speaking environments and achieve their personal and professional goals.

Highly recommend Kieran as a guitar teacher. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient and explains things in a really clear way. Lessons are super productive but also fun at the same time. Can confidently say that Kieran has improved my guitar playing and theory knowledge more in the last three lessons than I've managed to in the last three years of trying to teach myself!
A gifted musician but also an inspiring teacher...the 2 are not always a given. My son said he learned more in 1 session with Kieran than in the years he spent with his last 2 teachers...and that it was the first time he had enjoyed it.
I’ve been learning with Kieran for the past two years, and I’ve learnt so much in that time! From day one he tailored his teaching to what I wanted to learn and what genres I wanted to play. He also challenged me continually and opened my playing up into new genres with new techniques. I was also really unsure of music theory at first and it seemed like a daunting task to learn, but Kieran made it really accessible and gave me plenty of resources for me to learn advanced concepts. Kieran is super knowledgeable and friendly and really goes out of his way to offer really high quality teaching. Cannot recommend him enough!
We have no hesitation in recommending Kieran as a guitar tutor. His friendly manner and structured lessons ensure that our daughter is keen to attend regular weekly sessions and progress. If only she was as keen to undertake her school homework as readily as Kieran's! His lessons are tailored to include requests to play the tunes she likes to hear. We feel that the combination of Kieran's clear abilities as a tutor and friendly manner mean that steady, confident progress is being made. We would recommend Kieran to teach anyone interested in learning to play the guitar.
Kieran was very easy to get on with. Very knowledgeable. Good resource material for me to work on. Good use of technology along side personal feedback.
Kieran’s remarkable knowledge and talent as a musician in a staggeringly broad range of styles and genres is matched by his skill as a teacher. His lessons are meticulously structured to enable an exponential growth of both confidence and skills in relaxed and massively enjoyable sessions. He has incredible patience coupled with an ambition for his students to progress which makes for lessons that inspire and challenge. A brilliant teacher!
Kieran has been helping me for two years. He understands my music interest and can effortlessly structure appropriate lessons and styles. Great fun while always being challenged towards improvement. His own skills seem endless so would always recommend him to anyone
Kieran’s teaching style is a strong mix of his friendly character and his astronomical musical education, this creates an atmosphere of comfort whist being pushed to become the best on your chosen instrument. Kieran’s incredible teaching has progressed me from being a novice bassist playing for fun to a musician aiming for a career in the performance industry, backed up by the technical ability and theoretical knowledge he’s passed on to me.
Kieran is a great tutor. As someone who had never really held a guitar before, he went through everything methodically and with lot of patience.
His approach makes sure you get to grips with the basics and gives you confidence to be creative
I’d highly recommend KieranAn amazing music tutor who we highly recommend. Patient and vastly knowledgable. His easy going approach makes learning with him an absolute joy.
He taught my son for many years and he looked forward to every lesson he had with KieranAbsolutely superb. Couldn’t recommend higher if I tried. Very calm and patient, I especially like that he uses my taste in music to teach rather than generic tuition.
Kieran is very knowledgeable about many genres on guitar and has taught me different styles on both electric and acoustic. The lessons are very tailored to my own tastes. Excellent teacher.
I wanted to improve my technical skills but just couldn't find the discipline. Kieran helped give me specific goals with structured drills and I have improved a lot. He is very patient and a good laugh.
Learning from the original multitracks for some of my favourite songs ever is unreal. I love the way Kieran breaks things down into more under stable chunks. Highly recommended.
Kieran uses plenty of resources so you can visualize and refer to boxes, patterns and diagrams. It really speeds up your learning.
