One on One Coaching
Your personal path to wine mastery
Private coaching sessions tailored entirely to where you are now and where you want to go. Whether you are preparing for a WSET exam, building confidence as a taster, or deepening your wine knowledge for your career or passion.
About coaching
The fastest way to improve
One-on-one coaching with Andy is the most direct path to wine confidence. Unlike group courses where the pace is set by the class, private sessions move entirely at your speed — focused on exactly what you need, nothing you don't.
Whether you're stuck on a specific topic, preparing for a WSET exam, developing your blind tasting ability or simply wanting to explore wine with an expert guide, coaching sessions are structured entirely around your goals.
Sessions are available in person at our Richmond venue or online via Zoom, and can be booked as a one-off or as an ongoing series depending on your needs.
Who it's for
WSET exam candidates
Preparing for Level 2, Level 3 or Diploma and want targeted support on weak areas, tasting technique or exam strategy.
Blind tasting development
Building systematic tasting skills — working through grape varieties, regions and structural analysis with expert feedback on every note.
Wine industry professionals
Sommeliers, hospitality staff and wine buyers looking to deepen knowledge, gain a qualification or advance their career.
Passionate enthusiasts
Curious wine lovers who want to explore in depth — no exam pressure, just great wine and expert conversation.
Who it's for
L2 students
Want to consolidate tricky regions or get targeted exam prep? A session or two alongside your group course makes a real difference to your result.
L3 students
The tasting paper is where most students drop marks. Focused one on one sessions on SAT technique and exam strategy are the most effective preparation you can do.
Enthusiasts
No exam in mind — just want to understand what's in your glass? Sessions can be built around specific regions, palate development or anything else that interests you.
Industry professionals
Working in hospitality, retail or the trade? A private session can upskill you quickly on specific areas — regions, varietals, service, spirits or food pairing.
