ChristosFrom Tim (5/5): Christos has worked with my daughter for several months and has significantly improved her confidence, particularly in the more challenging areas of her A level music syllabus. His calm, kind approach has motivated her to work hard, stay engaged, and take real pride in her progress. She values the professional and supportive relationship they’ve built, which has positively influenced both her academic development and her passion for composition.
From Laura (/5): Christos has been an amazing tutor. I really look forward to the lessons and he has helped me with my knowledge and understanding of mixing and mastering and enabled me to progress my abilities to the next level. Highly recommended!
From xiaochun (/5): Christos is an exceptional music theory teacher. His lessons are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to the student's needs. My child not only enjoys the sessions but has shown significant improvement in a short amount of time.
Christos is patient, professional, and incredibly dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure his students succeed. He communicates clearly and is always flexible, making scheduling lessons stress-free.
We are so grateful for his guidance and support. If you’re looking for a passionate and skilled teacher who truly cares about his students, Christos is the perfect choice!

From Wenjuan (/5): Christos taught my daughter for a couple of months by now. Christos teach my daughter music theory (chords, major/minor scales etc.). I am happy with Christos' organisation of the class. Christos also responses quickly about questions. Just had a discussion with Christos about exam preparation as my daughter needs to sit in exam next year and I am looking forward to future lessons.
From Charlotte (/5): Very enthusiastic teacher. Really enjoy his lessons and find his teaching style and lessons both helpful and motivating.
From Angharad (/5): I have been studying music production with Christos for about two and a half months now. I didn't start as a complete beginner but I did find a lot of self-teaching material online assumes a huge amount of knowledge already, which I didn't always have. Either that or it was aimed at a complete beginner, which I was not.
Christos is very knowledgable and clear. I understand each tool in Logic much better (and because I understand what each thing does I'm sure this knowledge is transferable to other DAWs). Each lesson he focuses on teaching me a few new techniques, as well as giving me feedback on what I have worked on in the week and answering any questions I had while working that week, then gives suggestions for homework. He also will make example edits to my projects and send the project files back so I can see what he's doing in detail, and will bounce specific sections we want to listen more carefully to.
Since working with Christos on music production I feel much more confident about my music production & mastering (up to being able to use it as a metaphor when I've learned about other processes - thinking to myself "oh this is just like in production where we do this then this then this"). I've also been able to listen back to my favourite musicians and appreciate them anew, now that I'm listening more like a producer and noticing and thinking about the component parts. (And I have wanted to look up the producers! And been excited to find producers who worked on one of my favourite albums cropping up in other favourite albums.)

From James (/5): The best thing about Christos's lessons is his passion for music. He explains things so well and I always leave the lesson excited to create. He is very knowledgeable about music production and is giving me the freedom and encouragement to develop my own sound. 10/10 would recommend!
From Louise (/5): Christos is a great teacher, he’s knowledgeable, supportive, kind and funny. The lessons are well thought out and at the right level. Highly recommend
From Ian (/5): Christos is a very good teacher and made a very complex subject much easier to understand. Would highly recommend.
From Nihan (/5): Christos is excellent. My daughter looks forward to her lessons every week and she has already improved so much in her playing the guitar and theory knowledge. Thank you very much again Christos!
From David (/5): The lessons have been fun and insightful. Christos creates a good back and forth by taking interest in your direction to help you improve and reach your potential. Every lesson is enjoyable and you always come away with someone new to work and improve on.
From Wendy (/5): Christos is a brilliant tutor. I have learnt a great deal from him and am currently learning music production with him which I’m really enjoying.
From Anne (/5): Great tutor but online tuition doesn’t work for me.
From Michael (/5): It took us time to find the right teacher as we needed a professional musician to take my son to the next level, and we're so happy to have found Christos! My 11 year old is quite creative and plays at an advanced level. He finds Christos very inspiring and comes out of the lessons extremely energised and enthusiastic which, to me, says it all. Christos is very knowledgeable and my son enjoys discovering with him new genres of music that he hasn't learnt before, new scales/theory, as well as new metal/rock songs which are his first love. Christos uses Skype very efficiently. At the start we weren't sure that online lessons will work but we gave it a shot and actually we're very impressed with the amount of work that Christos does with my son every week and having all the instructions and tracks in the Skype chat box helps a lot for the practising between the lessons.
From Julian (/5): Christos makes learning easily accessible and challenging at the same time. He has amazing knowledge and is able to translate it into a positive learning experience. In addition, Christos has a positive energy so our lessons are fun and well-paced.
From Vasilis (/5): Christos is an excellent tutor. The lessons are always fun and I’ve learned lots of useful techniques without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommended!
From Jeni (/5): Christos is very cheerful and really easy to work with! Lots of knowledge and is great at curating his teaching to fit with your way of understanding. Would highly recommend
From Manuela (/5): I think he is an amazing teacher. Everything he says it's clear and it's explained really well! I also really like the passion behind his words; he makes me very excited about production. In addition, I've learn more with him in 4 weeks than on a whole year of a production module at university. I am very happy to have him as tutor.
From Victoria (/5): Christos gives a great variety of teaching methods to make for a very enjoyable experience while progressing. Would definitely recommend.
From Michele (/5): Christos is a great teacher with an engaging and practical approach to teaching guitar. Every lesson introduces something new with a focus on maintaining a sense of progress and fun. Highly recommended!
From Tom (/5): Christos is a great guitar teacher, he is always challenging me and is helping me to progress to the next level as a guitar player.
From Anastasia (/5): Christos is a great teacher and very patient! I enjoy my skype lessons with him and feel like I am progressing well. I can recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar.
From Charlie (/5): Exceptional teacher with effective and simple learning techniques. Always punctual and very friendly.
