I am really glad to have invested in the Intermediate DJ Course. I was looking to up-level my skills and Tim was able to flex the programme to suit my needs. It was very useful to cover some of the basics whilst learning new ways to DJ. By the end of 8 hours I was navigating 3 decks (having only ever used two). I left feeling excited, confident and inspired. Tim is precise and focused in his teaching. He is experienced and knowledgeable with an obviously deep love for music. I trusted his guidance and really enjoyed the lessons. Highly recommended.

Just completed my beginner DJ course with Tim. Tim is very knowledgeable, gives clear instructions and is very patient! He is passionate about teaching you how to DJ bringing knowledge from old stool djing to the current times which gives you the understanding of djing. He made sure that I was able to mix, set hot cues, set loops, set up my own laptop and dj set up. Im excited to continue to practice DJing and master what I have learnt! Thanks Tim! I highly recommend London DJ Academy!

Excellent introduction to DJing from Tim who was very good at demonstrating and explaining the way around the decks and mixing. As a DJ before the digital age he is very good at explaining how to mix properly old skill without just relying on the auto sync buttons. Very organised and great response times.

I have just done the Beginner DJ Course over 2 days at the Dalston studio. I had the pleasure of having Tim as my tutor. From the course I was looking to get a better understanding of Pioneer DJ XDJ 700 multi player and DJM 450 mixer. I have no previous experience of being a DJ. Music is my hobby and I just collect and listen to good music at home and want the best set up. WOW!!!! The Course was engaging, educational, interesting and Tim was absolutely brilliant. He made the course fun. I highly recommend the London DJ Academy if you are looking for Professional advice from an experienced DJ or just want good advice/guidance from someone who shares your passion for music and knows the equipment inside out through years of experience. Thanks Tim and keep up the good work.
