Dan P
Twelve years experience teaching many instruments. Drums
I am a music teacher living in Welling, having taught piano, guitar and drum kit for more than five years. I also teach bass, composition, theory and offer tuition in general music up to degree level. So far, every single student that I've had take a graded exam has achieved a distinction grade. On top of that, they all greatly enjoy their lessons with me and are always excited to learn new techniques and pieces. I like to think I'm relatable enough to get children to resonate with my teaching, while remaining skilled enough at the instruments I teach to give them the motivation to learn more....

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 hopes to study music at Queen Mary's College (QMC). Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for college and university applications. They can help your child work on their technical skills, music theory, and performance confidence to build a strong portfolio for their QMC application.
We're considering specialist music schools like ACM in Guildford. Can a tutor help with audition preparation?
Yes, this is a great way to use a tutor. They can provide expert coaching on your child's chosen audition pieces, help them manage performance anxiety, and give them a mock audition experience to ensure they feel fully prepared and confident on the day.
How do I find the right drums tutor for my child?
It's simple! You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the specific styles or grades your child is working on. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos and reading reviews from other parents to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's goals.
How do online drums lessons work? What equipment do we need?
It's surprisingly straightforward. All your child needs is their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. The tutor will guide them through exercises and techniques in real-time, just as they would in person.
Can tutoring help my child with their graded music exams, like Rockschool or Trinity?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for graded exams. They can break down the syllabus, perfect technical exercises, and ensure your child is confident with all the material, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does a drums tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on our search page. Tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that works for your family.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to warm up, work on new techniques, and review progress. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's concentration span and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! We believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms. Alongside core academic subjects, we offer expert tutoring in a huge range of skills, from learning instruments like the drums or guitar to coding, new languages, and even public speaking.
How can tutoring help if my child is feeling unmotivated?
A great one-to-one tutor can be fantastic for reigniting a spark. By tailoring lessons to your child's favourite songs or artists and setting small, achievable goals, they can make learning fun again. This personalised approach often helps a child rediscover their love for the instrument.
