James is a great tutor and has really helped my 16 year old as he heads into his final school clarinet performing exams. My son says James is really easy to get along with and helps put him at ease. He also gives very thorough advice and helps with all the finishing details to get the music pieces up to speed.

I never thought that at the age of 83yrs that I would be able to play clarinet again after 45years lay off. BUT I hadn't reckoned on finding such a brilliant tutor like Steve who has the patience of a saint. He is such a delight to be taught by and really puts me at my ease. Thanks for your time and patience Best Wishes John

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare for the music aptitude application at schools like Mossbourne or The City Academy?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for music scholarships and aptitude tests. They can focus specifically on the requirements for Grade 5, helping your child build the technical skill and performance confidence needed to stand out.

My child's confidence has dipped because they're stuck. How can an online tutor help?

This is so common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really helps. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space to work through challenges. They can break down difficult passages, celebrate small wins, and remind your child of their progress, rebuilding their self-belief one note at a time.

How does online clarinet tutoring actually work? Can you really teach an instrument over video?

It works incredibly well. Using high-quality video and audio, tutors can clearly see and hear your child’s technique, posture, and tone. They can demonstrate passages, share sheet music on-screen, and provide instant feedback. It offers all the benefits of one-to-one attention with the added convenience of learning from home.

What if my child doesn't click with the first clarinet tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is so important. We understand that. If the first session with a new tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll listen to your feedback and cover the cost of your first lesson with another tutor.

How do you ensure your clarinet tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, and they must have proven teaching or tutoring experience and pass a background check. It's how we ensure your child learns from the best.

Are lessons flexible? We have a really busy schedule in Hackney.

Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of online tutoring. You can browse tutors' available times and book sessions that fit around school, other activities, and family life. No need to travel, no adding stress to your week.

How many lessons a week will my child need to prepare for their Grade 5 exam?

This really depends on your child's current level and how much time there is before the exam. Most students have one lesson a week to ensure steady progress, but your tutor will discuss a plan with you after the first session to best meet your child's goals.

What do we need for an online lesson?

It's simple. You'll need a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection, and of course, your child's clarinet and sheet music. Our online classroom is easy to use, and your tutor will guide you through it.

My child is inspired by the music scene in Hackney. Can a tutor help them explore that?

Yes! Whilst focusing on grades, our tutors can also nurture a broader love for music. They can introduce your child to different styles, from jazz to classical, perhaps even discussing artists who've played at local venues like the Hackney Empire, connecting their formal learning to the vibrant culture on their doorstep.

How much do online clarinet tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

Can online tutoring help with performance anxiety before an exam?

Yes, this is a key area where a great tutor can make a difference. They provide a safe space for your child to practise performing, offering constructive feedback and techniques to manage nerves. Building this confidence in one-to-one sessions is invaluable preparation for the real exam.

How many lessons a week will my child need to prepare for their Grade 5 exam?

We do. We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from maths and English for GCSEs to A-Level sciences and even university-level support. Whether your child needs help with schoolwork or wants to explore a new passion, we can connect you with the right specialist.
