    About Javier S.

    (8)
    I am a teacher, a student, and a human that loves with a passion of playing guitar. I want to teach and learn from students. I went to Santa Barbara San Marcos High School and I was in band and the president of the guitar club of that school. I got to be one on one with those students and I was taught how to deal with some of those minor problems that guitarist have at the beginning. I will be attending Berkeley City College Online Degree As a teacher I want to teach all that I know, I want my students to be better than me. That’s my goal. I can teach in English and Spanish as well for songs in those languages. I love to see people improve from knowing nothing from them to knowing a full song. If you put your heart and desire into it, you can achieve more than you think. My goal is for my students to know and perform outstandingly better than I do. As a student I had a lot of troubles at first. I didn’t have a teacher at first so I wasn’t sure of what to do. I started teaching myself and performing well and over a while it starting to pay off. In guitar club we had it once a week. Now it’s twice a week since I became president. I started to learn that I need to teach those students so that they don’t go through that frustration that I went through. As students, they have been teaching me as well and surprise me with what they have learn and trying to learn and I know that you as my student will do the same. I’m human and we are all human. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has problems. Always message me if you have problem while it may be the guitar or anything else just message me and let me know to see if I can help. I want to see you all evolve and eventually grow into someone much bigger as a person and as a musician.

    When I had first started playing guitar it was frustrating and difficult. Javier made it simple and easy to do chord changes, and strumming patterns by simply teaching me basic songs that furthered my learning experience.

    I’ve worked with Javier for more than four years and I can honestly say that he is one of the best instructors out there. Not only is he very patient and understanding, he is very optimistic. I would highly reccomend Javier because his determination and skill are very astonishing which can inspire others to strive for a higher goal.

    Very good at adapting to your learning style. Great teacher. I definitely would recommend having Javier as a teacher if you’re thinking about learning how to play the guitar.
