BEFORE BOOKING A LESSON
- Yes you can. Click HERE to see and immediately book a specific tutor.
- View our guitar tutors at the bottom our HOME page. Click on the guitar tutors image to see their extensive profile pages. Further tutors are viewable at the bottom of every tutor profile page.
- View our tutors from around the world on our TUTOR MAP.
NOTE: If you use the BOOK A 1-1 LESSON on the homepage, you can choose from all tutors currently in the GMI online guitar website which teach the style you wish to learn.
When either GMI approaches, or we are approached by a guitarist wishing to tutor with GMI the following happens:
- The guitar player must send a CV and video evidence of their teaching/playing online.
- All GMI tutors are given a “Memorandum of Understanding” regarding their teaching commitment, the resources/way they will teach students and their general behaviour towards students.
- All lessons must be recorded both for the student to learn from in future and for the protection of both the tutor and the student in terms of a dispute.
- Tutors are given regular updates on working practices as well as news on the latest developments from GMI.
- If there are any causes for complaint by any student, then in the first instance contact GMI via the contact page and email where the complaint will be dealt with promptly.
The GMI website calculates the time difference between your time zone and the tutor’s time zone. The time you see for your lesson is in YOUR local time. Your tutor will have a completely different time shown that matches up their local time with their local time as shown on your lesson booking.
The email you receive which confirms your booking, payment and tutor will also state the time of your lesson in YOUR local time as was shown when you booked the lesson.

ONCE I'VE BOOKED A LESSON

Yes you can.
You must give two days notice before the lesson start time to cancel or change a lesson, otherwise we expect you to pay for missed appointments.
A rescheduled lesson may be possible, but this will need to take into account a teachers availability. Please contact your teacher if you need to reschedule a lesson which is two days before the originally booked appointment.

You will, as stated earlier, get to keep the recorded lesson. As well as this, we encourage all tutors to send you (through our chat facility) PDF, MIDI files and any resources that will help you with your lesson material.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
We want everyone to have a great time learning with our guitar tutors. Very occasionally, for whatever reason, things may not work out. If this is the case, please do the following:
- Email and inform us of what the problem is.
- Let us see the video of the guitar lesson so we can judge for ourselves.
- Once we understand any issues and have viewed the lesson material, we will make a judgement on the complaint and what course of action needs to be taken.
If you see a blank page when trying to access “Add to calendar” link from a booking confirmation, make sure you are logged in as a customer of that booking, only the customer attached to that booking will be able to access that link.
