Oneof the best thing about my tutor is how easily he breaks the techniques and concepts down for me making it super easy to work with. he always keeps the learning environment very supportive.

My daughter is 15 year old. It was not easy to find a Guitar teacher and that too in North Fresno. I must say we are happy that we found Deborah Roberts. My daughter is addicted to Guitar now and it's music. Oliver has become a positive and inspiring role model. We’re truly grateful for the impact he’s had on his confidence and enthusiasm for playing.

I’ve always struggled with chord transitions but Oliver helped me master them with simple exercises and tons of encouragement. Lessons with him are comfortable and super motivating and I can undoubtedly say that Oliver is the perfect fit for adult learners.
