Ben H
Engaging Bass Guitar tutor
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning. Very few people learn by being told something once, so my tutoring sessions are generally about discovery, mastery and learning side by side to answer the big questions along with my years of expertise providing the content.I have worked in education for 12 years in all sorts of settings, with a huge range of pupils. My track record is impressive and I firmly believe...

Perry is Amazing, I highly recommend him to any one of any age or ability. Not only does he know his stuff but he builds off of your interests and incorporates it into your lessons. He is also one of the most encouraging teachers of a subject I have ever come across (and I’m 5 years into my Masters so I have had a lot of teachers!)

Oliver H
I had a session with Oliver when I was looking for a local bass tutor. I would not hesitate to recommend Oliver. He is friendly, approachable, listened carefully to my questions and offered useful comments and advice. Clearly he is a very talented musician who has dedicated himself to mastering his chosen instrument and alongside that an excellent teacher. His studio is a lovely, calm, spacious environment to have lessons.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for an audition at a college like Queen Mary's College (QMC)?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced musicians and teachers who can help your child prepare specifically for college auditions. They can work on everything from technical skills and performance pieces to building the confidence they need to do their best on the day.
Are the tutors familiar with the requirements for BTEC or A-Level Music courses?
Many of our tutors have experience helping students with the UK curriculum, including BTECs and A-Levels. When you search, you can read their profiles to see their specific experience and even message them to ask how they can help your child meet the requirements for their chosen course.
How do I choose the right bass guitar tutor for my child?
Take a look at the tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents and students have said in their reviews. You can send messages to a few tutors to ask questions, and many offer a free video chat to make sure they're the right fit for your child before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects, your child can learn practical and creative skills like bass guitar, coding, a new language, or even public speaking. It's all about supporting their interests and development.
How much do online bass guitar lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. And their bass guitar, of course!
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe, supportive space for your child to learn. They can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a group setting and get instant, positive feedback. This personalised attention is often the key to helping a child feel more confident in their abilities.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been through a background check. All lessons are also recorded, which gives you complete peace of mind and allows your child to review their sessions afterwards.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students of all levels, from complete beginners who are just learning how to hold the bass to advanced players refining their technique. Just let the tutor know your child's starting point, and they'll tailor their approach.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families choose to have a one-hour lesson each week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
How can I track my child's progress?
You can stay involved by speaking directly with your child's tutor through our messaging system. They will be happy to provide feedback on how your child is doing, what they're working on, and how you can support their learning between sessions.
