I revised my review here after having my son to take his lessons, below is our experience, I hope this could be a reference when you consider this Pro:
1) Punctual is a major problem on this person. He cannot deliver what he committed, several schedules had been canceled in past 2 months by him always with good reasons (Sick, families, traffics, too many students.., see attached pictures). One example of a lesson schedule on Sunday, he was already on the way to our home, but he informed us that he's gonna turn back to catch up other lessons due the traffic.
2) He successfully sold us pre-paid lesson (pack of buy 1 get 1 free), however, after we paid him, it turns out that it's getting harder for us to schedule lessons from him( We were expecting to have the lesson once a week, but this didn't happen). Since he cannot deliver the service consistently, we told him that we want to terminate the lessons with him, but he doesn't agree to return the balance of money.
3) We bought his lesson $65 for 45 mins, but some time he offered less than 45 mins. Be cautious if you care about every penny you have paid for.
4) He will ask you to give him good review at the beginning, I suggest you do it after you have a clear picture.
This is the worst experience we had with a pro we found on Thumbtuck.

Teacher Sedat will come to my place to teach guitar. He is very knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. The music theory part is hard to understand for kids but he could use kids' way for my daughter to understand. When my daughter plays her own songs, teacher Sedat could play along right away with her, which made the song much nicer and fuller. He also encouraged my daughter to try using different chords to write songs. We only tried his class once and decided right away to let him be my daughter's guitar teach. Highly recommend this guitar teacher to anyone!

Listens well, makes good suggestions, was able to help me when my old arthritic fingers couldn’t make the barre cords and worked with me to find a work around so I could get close. He showed me the online chord/music app I could use. The only downside was that the time went by so fast! Very enjoyable! We already scheduled the next lesson and I’m already practicing what he taught me! Cheers! Ken

Very patient and kind. My son is 10 years old and really enjoys his lessons. He knows his guitar very well and is able to teach my son in a very age-appropriate way
