Introductory rhythm guitar workshop for complete beginners and students with some prior knowledge

From 58.25 C$ /h

Former rhythm guitarist for the band Wild Fox, I offer you an original and personalized approach to guitar. Self-taught, I don't teach classical music theory, but I provide you with a wide repertoire ranging from English pop rock to rock and blues.
My approach is very practical and tailored to each student: we work on a case-by-case basis, with chords and basics for all types of songs. It's simple: you choose a piece of music, I break it down for you, and we work on each part step by step. The goal is to help you progress quickly while having fun and developing your own style.

About Me

I am a fluid mechanics engineer, graduated from Arts et Métiers and ESTP, but above all someone who is passionate about teaching and about that moment when a student finally “gets it.”
If I teach today, it’s no coincidence. I’ve personally experienced moments of doubt during my studies: concepts I didn’t fully understand, a loss of confidence, the feeling that I wasn’t “cut out for it.” It’s precisely this journey that allows me today to truly understand students—their difficulties, their mental blocks, and most importantly, how to overcome them.
I’m a “chill” teacher, but demanding when it comes to what really matters: understanding. No unnecessary pressure, no judgment. My goal is to build a genuine relationship of trust with each student, so they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning without stress. Because that’s the kind of environment where progress happens fastest.
My method is simple but effective: I adapt to each student’s way of thinking. Some need to visualize, others to manipulate, and others to hear things explained in different ways. I take the time to find what truly works for each individual. I break down complex concepts into clear steps, use concrete everyday examples, and always prioritize reasoning over rote memorization.
What sets me apart? I don’t just explain the material—I teach my students how to learn. I give them methods, habits, and tools they can use for life. My goal isn’t just to help them pass a test, but to make them autonomous and confident when facing challenges.
In the end, my lessons combine rigor, pedagogy, and a positive atmosphere—because we always learn better when we feel good.

Education

Coming from a demanding academic background, I completed a preparatory program for top engineering schools (MPSI/PSI) at Lycée Clemenceau in Nantes (ranked Top 10 by L’Étudiant), before going on to pursue a dual engineering degree at ESTP Paris and Arts et Métiers.
I also enhanced my education with an international experience at University College Dublin as part of an ERASMUS semester, where all courses were taught entirely in English.

Experience / Qualifications

Throughout my academic journey, I have regularly supported students (homework help, explaining complex concepts), which has allowed me to develop strong teaching skills based on clarity, patience, and adapting to each student’s level.
In addition, my experience in the construction and civil engineering sector—particularly on large-scale projects such as the Grand Paris Express—has enabled me to apply mathematics and physics in a concrete way (calculations, modeling, technical analysis). This now allows me to offer teaching that is both rigorous and enriched with real-world examples, making it easier for students to understand.

Tutoring in mathematics and physics – Middle & High School

48.26 C$ /h

I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics for middle and high school students. Each session is fully personalized according to the student's level, needs, and objectives, in order to solidify foundational knowledge, fill in gaps, and promote sustainable and effective progress.
A fluid mechanics engineer, a graduate of Arts et Métiers and ESTP, I am passionate about knowledge transfer. My background has allowed me to develop a clear, structured, and personalized teaching approach.
Having not always been a "model" student, I have acquired concrete and accessible learning methods over time, which I now share with my students. I place particular importance on understanding concepts, developing reasoning skills, and building confidence, so that each student can progress at their own pace and become more independent.
My goal is simple: to make science more understandable, more accessible, and to restore students' confidence in their abilities.

I offer private teaching services in Paris and the surrounding 92 suburbs area, including Meudon, Clamart, Malakoff, Saint-Cloud, Neuilly-sur-Seine, and more.
The lessons can be conducted either at the student's residence or at my own.

During our sessions, we will cover a wide range of topics including musical theory, technique, note reading, chords and tabs, developing musical ear, and learning how to play your favorite songs in various styles. These styles encompass pop, rock, blues, oriental, classical music, and more.

My teaching philosophy is centered around making the learning process enjoyable and accessible because I believe that learning should be fun and easy and should develop simple and fun methods to rapidly improve your skills on Guitar/Piano.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I am a passionate guitarist and guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching guitar to beginners and intermediate players. My teaching approach stems from a deep love of music, from transcribing solos and developing a personal style to composing and arranging for an instrumental album currently in production. For me, teaching guitar is much more than simply transmitting techniques: it's about sharing a vision of music and guiding each student toward their own artistic expression.

What I propose
Fully personalized individual lessons, tailored to your level, pace, and musical goals. Each lesson is built around you.

🎸 Chords, rhythms, picking, fingerstyle and playing techniques
🎵 Music theory applied to the guitar, in a simple and progressive way
👂 Ear training and introduction to transcription
🎶 Varied repertoire: pop, rock, folk, blues and acoustic styles
🌍 Courses taught in French or English
👶🧑🧓 All ages welcome: children, adults and seniors

My teaching approach:
I firmly believe that every student is unique. My lessons combine technical rigor with creative freedom, so you progress both as a guitarist and as a well-rounded musician. Beyond technique, I help you develop your musical sensitivity and confidence on the instrument.
Alongside teaching, I continue to perform, record and actively work on my own musical projects, which ensures that teaching is rooted in real and living musical practice, and not in theory alone.

Why choose my courses?
✅ Fully bilingual profile: courses in French or English
✅ Available in person in Paris or online (throughout the French-speaking world)
✅ Guaranteed quick response: I promise to reply to every message as soon as possible
✅ Total flexibility: availability adapted to your schedule

What if you played your first songs much faster than expected?

My name is Gregory, a professional musician for over 25 years, singer-songwriter, with two albums and concerts in Paris, London and New York.
I have accompanied many artists.

My method is different: I don't just teach you chords and scales, but a lively and immediate approach that combines technique, rhythm and pleasure.

– You learn to be independent quickly (no need to depend on a teacher or tutorials).
– We also work on presence and confidence, because learning the guitar also means daring to express yourself.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some basics, I build the course around YOUR musical universe.
⸻

Why me ?
International stage experience (albums, concerts, television).
Simple, motivating teaching methods, adapted to your personality.

Contact me and we'll start your first song!

I am a professional and passionate guitarist and I give guitar lessons, acoustic or electric, to motivated students - all levels - and in styles as different as rock, jazz, gypsy jazz, blues, pop, funk etc.
(also bass and DAW)

Convinced that learning an instrument should be a joy, I adapt to the level and expectations of each individual and try to understand with them the best way to achieve the goals we will set together.
Not believing in THE method that works for everyone, my method is adaptive because it is tailored to the person in front of me and their request.

I have played with many artists, live and in the studio, in styles as diverse as rock (ITHAK), jazz (Archie Shepp, Christophe Chassol, Marc Ribot, Luc Ex), hip-hop (Mike Ladd), pop (Zaz), Afghan music (Farhad Darya), Senegalese music (Pape Djiby Ba), Turkish music (Cem Yildiz), Algerian music (Hakim Hamadouche) and am excited to share with you the experience I have accumulated over the years.

I speak English, French, Turkish, Spanish.
