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.

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.

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.

Matéo
Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.


OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.


OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...


Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.
