My teaching style is to facilitate your learning so that you will not be dependent on me for continuous improvement. I ask you to play your guitar at least for a few minutes every day.

Since everyone has a different method of learning, I try to identify those, and adjust accordingly. For visual learners, I encourage them to develop their sight-reading skills, but also find creative ways to work around ear training if it is difficult for them.
