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 is at a large Dagenham school like Robert Clack. Can a tutor help their drumming skills stand out on a UCAS application?
Absolutely. That's a key reason many parents in Dagenham seek our support. A specialist tutor can help your child hone their technique, prepare for grade exams (like Rockschool or Trinity), and even develop a performance portfolio that demonstrates the unique creative flair that London's competitive universities look for.
Is online drumming tuition really effective without being in the same room?
Yes, it’s incredibly effective. Tutors use high-quality cameras to demonstrate techniques from multiple angles, and clear audio means nothing gets missed. They can share sheet music and resources on-screen instantly. It offers the same focused, one-to-one attention as in-person lessons, with the huge advantage of accessing top tutors from anywhere in the UK.
We want our child to have every advantage. How can learning the drums help them secure a future in the creative industries?
Learning an instrument like the drums develops discipline, resilience, coordination, and creative problem-solving – all skills that are highly valued in the creative industries. It shows a commitment to mastering a craft, which is a powerful signal to employers and universities that your child is a dedicated and passionate individual.
What if my child doesn't get on with the first Drums tutor we try?
It's so important that your child and their tutor have a great connection. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If it doesn't feel like the right fit 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.
What equipment does my child need for online drums lessons?
Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Many students find headphones useful to focus on the sound. Your chosen tutor can advise on any specific setup before the first lesson.
Are your Drums tutors professional musicians?
Many of our tutors are experienced, professional musicians with performance and teaching backgrounds. We vet every tutor on our platform, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific qualifications, experience, and teaching style before you book.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for Rockschool or Trinity grade exams?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for music grade exams. They can guide your child through the syllabus, perfect their performance pieces, and build their confidence for exam day. You can filter for tutors with specific exam board experience when you search.
How much do online Drums lessons cost for a student in Dagenham?
The price of lessons varies as our tutors set their own rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do we find the right Drums tutor for our child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who match your child's age, level, and specific goals. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to ask any questions. It’s all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
Does Tutorful offer tutoring for other creative subjects too?
We do! Beyond academic subjects, we have a wide range of tutors for creative pursuits like Music Theory, Guitar, Piano, Art, and even Music Production. It's a great way to help your child explore all their creative interests from home.
How long are the online sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically an hour long, but you can arrange different lengths directly with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, as this provides a great rhythm for learning and practising, but you can create a schedule that works best for your child and your family.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for Rockschool or Trinity grade exams?
Yes, many of our tutors are skilled composers and songwriters themselves. If your child wants to move beyond learning songs and start creating their own music, a tutor can provide fantastic guidance on structure, creativity, and developing their own unique style.
