Amir Mafakher

I’m Amir, a dedicated guitar instructor with 24 years of teaching experience, including positions at prestigious institutions in Los Angeles, California, and British schools in Dubai. I hold an LTCL Diploma in Classical Guitar from Trinity College London and have been recognized for my expertise in flamenco, classical, and modern guitar techniques. My professional journey includes performances at renowned venues, and participation in international music festivals. My teaching career spans roles at top-tier schools, including JESS School and GEMS Academy in Dubai, where I’ve guided students from beginners to advanced levels.

In my lessons, I focus on tailoring the experience to each student's unique goals and abilities. Whether you’re mastering finger-picking styles, simply learning to strum your favorite songs or preparing for Trinity or ABRSM exams, I offer a flexible, student-centered approach. My methodology emphasizes both technical skill and musical expression, ensuring that students not only develop their guitar techniques but also build a deep appreciation for the art of music. With experience in classical, flamenco, and modern guitar, I’m here to help you achieve your musical aspirations, whether through structured learning or a more relaxed, creative exploration.
