The Magic of Tutoring: How to Bring Your Student's Learning Alive

Welcome to the Qualified Tutor Podcast

Neil Cowmeadow knows a thing or two about tutoring.

Having worked in the consultancy industry, Neil found that teaching people gave him the greatest joy in life. Today, he has a long waiting list of future students and smiles most broadly when he's jamming along with a student.

Neil is a specialist guitar tutor and inspires all students he works with to enjoy their own music. While other music tutors and teachers have struggled with the move to online tuition, Neil has thrived. His recording room is bedecked with guitars, mics, headphones and, most importantly, cameras - with a variety of cameras focusing on his playing, including a moveable camera that shows just his left and right-hand movements, his students get an all-round experience and learn faster than they might in person.

Here, we discuss a range of topics including allowing students the freedom to learn for themselves, turning 'mistakes' into a positive step for every student and understanding how a commitment to finding out what makes a student tick will pay off in the long-run.

Neil is also the producer and host of his own podcast, The Tutor Podcast - it's one of our very favourites and, having run for over two and a half years now, there is something there for tutors of all kinds. Go have a listen
