Personalised Guitar & Music Lessons for All Levels - Learn Faster, Play with Confidence

Tolek is the best instrumental teacher I have ever had! I started lessons with Tolek about a year and a half ago, and I can confidently say that every single lesson has been worthwhile. In terms of guitar-playing, Tolek has helped me improve my technique, taught me different styles, and also transcribed sections of songs I wanted to learn. As well as this, Tolek has greatly expanded my knowledge of music theory through keeping it fun using exercises to help me identify chords, and their harmonic extensions. Not only do we spend the lessons improving my guitar-playing, but when I want to explore other areas, I bring along my laptop and Tolek also teaches me about music production. Beyond this, when I have issues writing songs, and mental blocks, we talk it through, and he functions as a creative mentor, and even, sometimes, a life coach. He moulds to what you need every single lesson, and I couldn’t recommend him more.

Tolek is cheerful and has a world of patience. He goes to great lengths to work based on individual interests - no matter how special they seem!

I studied guitar with Tolek at the Edinburgh School of Music. He was brilliant. It is obvious that he has a deep knowledge of classical music theory but that is combined with his experience of guitar and piano playing on the live music scene and he brings all of this to the lessons. He paced the lessons perfectly to my own learning ability and I made great progress in my playing during my studies with Tolek.

Tolek and I were colleagues at the Edinburgh School of Music - I couldn’t recommend him enough as a guitar tutor. He’s incredibly patient, kind-hearted, and will cater to everybody’s music journey to their individual tastes and needs.

Tolek taught classical guitar to my daughter, Eva, for five years. Throughout this time, he consistently demonstrated dedication, patience, and a genuine passion for music education.
In the months leading up to Eva’s Grade 2 classical guitar exam, Tolek provided several focused lessons to help prepare her. His guidance during this period was thoughtful and effective, and it contributed meaningfully to her confidence and musical development.
Although Tolek moved on to a new teaching position before the exam, the foundation he built over the years—and the preparation he provided in those final lessons—played an important role in Eva’s successful Grade 2 result.
Tolek is a committed and knowledgeable teacher who cares about his students’ progress. I am happy to recommend him as a guitar instructor.

Tolek was my teacher for many years and no other person has inspired me so much and given me such passion for such a variety of styles and genres of music. His skill is unequalled and his teaching method utterly brilliant. Not just a teacher but a wonderful friend and person.

Tolek is a fantastic guitar teacher—highly skilled, patient, and always bringing a positive attitude to each lesson. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve made real progress in my guitar playing, and I always enjoy our sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their guitar skills.

Our teenage daughter attended lessons and summer workshops with Tolek over several years. She always looked forwards to the sessions and was supported very well. He taught her kindly, with good humour and patience, really encouraging her to explore and enjoy her musical journey, gaining in confidence as she moved through time. Tolek communicated very well both with our daughter and with me as a parent, understanding her musical taste well and introducing her to new styles / pieces and composers to practice. We heartily recommend Tolek as a tutor!

Had guitar lessons with Tolek for a couple of years and definitely recommend him.
I played for many years and had stopped playing for about a decade - Tolek helped me pick up my guitar again. In two years of lessons I went from not knowing where my guitar was to playing lead in a band.
We worked on technique, ear training, effects/pedals, music production and improvisation.
Tolek is supportive, flexible, encouraging and can help you reach your guitar-playing goals.

Tolek has been a brilliant guitar teacher to both my children. He is a genuine and interested teacher and meets students where they are with patience and kindness. Would highly recommend!

I had guitar lessons with Tolek for a couple of years and he was amazing! I started as a casual/beginner player and learned so much from him. He's an experienced, thoughtful and patient teacher, plus our lessons were always just really fun
The most valuable thing to me was how he helped me develop a much deeper understanding of music alongside improving my guitar skills. We studied music theory, production, ear training, he introduced me to a lot of different genres and styles of music. It was a great experience, I recommend it to everyone.

I receive private guitar tuition from Tolek and find him to be an excellent teacher that has helped me make great improvements with my guitar playing. He plans lessons perfectly to suit my playing level and chooses songs for me to learn which are fun and which help me improvement specific aspects of my playing. He supplements each lesson with learning materials such as tabbed parts/exercises and videos to help with my practice through the week. Within one lesson Tolek had identified weaknesses in my technique and helped me to fix them.
