Hello, my name is Vinicius, I am a Brazilian Biologist and I have a Master's degree on Neuroscience Research at VU Amsterdam.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 and I have been teaching the instrument for over a decade now.

I believe that motivating the student and helping him to integrate the instrument into his daily routine is the most important role that a teacher can do.

My methodology is the flipped-classroom and I use the Google Classroom platform: every week, I will write a study guide with details of what we discussed during class + references (videos/blogs/books). This can be used by the student to study carefully at their own pace. During our next class, we will discuss the points you had the most difficulty and advance your knowledge further.

I can also record videos and write essays from scratch specifically for you, whenever the material is not available online.

About me
I learned to play the guitar on my own - later in life I had classical training at university (singing, piano and classical guitar). I play Fingerstyle guitar, popularized by artists like Andy McKee, Tommy Emmanuel and Antoine Dufour, which consists of playing melody, harmony and percussion at the same time.

I have published an EP named "14th of August" with original fingerstyle compositions in 2020.

You should have your own guitar to practice at your own schedule

About Me
I am the writer of the book "The Student's Definitive Guide", which is about how we can learn more efficiently in less time. I am fascinated by the topic of how the human brain learns, and I always try to find new ways of teaching that will improve my student's understanding.

I have been playing guitar for 12 years and teaching it for most of this period. The main goal of my classes is to help my students achieve what is important to them.
