Mariel M
Mariel is a good and patient teacher. She explains things well and the lessons run at the students pace. I progressed quickly as we worked on both grade pieces and drum rudimentals/technical exercises.
When I had technical difficulties during a lesson, Mariel was patient and worked around the issue. Mariel was very helpful and we covered a lot of content in a few weeks.
I highly recommend Mariel as a drum teacher to new students.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive school in Epsom. Can a tutor really help their drumming support a strong UCAS application?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with. Our tutors can specifically focus on preparing your child for formal music grades (e.g., Rockschool, Trinity), which are UCAS-point eligible at higher levels. Achieving a high grade provides concrete proof of dedication and skill that strengthens any university application.
We're worried our child's drumming is just seen as a 'hobby'. Can online tutoring change that?
Yes, it can. A specialist tutor helps formalise their passion by working towards tangible goals like graded exams, performance recordings, and building a musical portfolio. This transforms their interest from a casual hobby into a structured, impressive extracurricular activity that demonstrates commitment and talent.
How does online tutoring for a practical subject like drums even work?
It works brilliantly! Using a simple webcam setup, the tutor can clearly see and hear your child play. They can demonstrate techniques, share sheet music and exercises on-screen, and provide instant feedback on posture, timing, and dynamics. It's just like being in the same room, but with the convenience of learning from home.
What if we don't click with the first Drums tutor we try?
We know that the right personal connection is vital. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors qualified to teach formal music grades?
Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for exams with all major boards. You can view each tutor's full profile to see their qualifications, experience with specific exam boards, and areas of expertise before you even send them a message.
How much do online Drums lessons for a student in Epsom cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find expert help that fits your family's budget.
My child wants to learn a specific style, like jazz or metal drumming. Can we find a specialist?
Yes! That's one of the biggest advantages of online tutoring. Instead of being limited to tutors near Epsom, you have access to a UK-wide network of specialists. You can filter your search to find a tutor who is an expert in the exact style of music your child is passionate about.
What equipment do we need for online drum lessons?
It's simpler than you might think. Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's all it takes to connect with a top tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We also interview them to ensure they have the right skills and attitude. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Can my child get help with music theory as part of their drum lessons?
Definitely. Most drum tutors are proficient musicians who can integrate music theory into the lessons, especially as it relates to rhythm, notation, and sight-reading. This is often a key component of preparing for graded exams.
We have a very busy schedule. How flexible are the lessons?
Extremely flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange lesson times that fit around school, other activities, and family commitments. Online tutoring removes travel time, making it much easier to schedule regular sessions.
My child wants to learn a specific style, like jazz or metal drumming. Can we find a specialist?
Yes, we do! We have expert online tutors for a huge range of subjects, from academic support in Maths and English to creative skills like Guitar, Piano, Singing, and even music production. You can find support for all your child's interests on Tutorful.
