I had a successful guitar teaching business prior to the pandemic. I closed that business and went back to working in sales and customer service. I was recently working for a public body when I became disabled. I was let go from my job because of this and find myself unable to find another job or raise the capital to start my business (due to being on benefits and behind on my mortgage and car payments) . I am registered with the RGT (Registry of Guitar Tutors, part of the London Collage of Music) and genuinely love music and teaching. I want to go back to it not just for me but to provide a much needed service to anyone who wants to learn music in the South Northumberland area and beyond.
