I have been taking lessons with Francesco for about 4 months now and I can say they definitely make a difference. There is a good balance of theory and practical exercises which allows for development and guided direction which is important as a beginner.
Francesco is very patient with all my questions and issues and is able to share his experience and insights well to a problem you are facing. He also has a lot of patience towards beginners and their questions/lack of understanding which is very good for getting confusion out of the way and building a good foundation. I have also never had an issue with getting the lessons arranged or sorted and the rates are very fair indeed. Without his help I may well have given up guitar 2 or 3 months ago.

Overall I feel like he is well suited to teaching beginners by analysing your playing and providing good exercises and guidance.
