Professional Drums tutor
I am a self employed professional drummer who currently teaches 1-1 students of all ages regularly at my rehearsal space in Liverpool, where there is a full drum kit set up. I also teach secondary school students weekly at St Julie's school in Liverpool.

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 Ellesmere Port Catholic High. Can a tutor help them specifically with their GCSE Music performance grade on the drums?

Absolutely. Many of our online tutors are experienced in the specific requirements of GCSE and BTEC Music courses. They can work with your child on their chosen performance pieces, ensuring they meet every aspect of the mark scheme, from technical accuracy to musical interpretation, to help them secure the best possible grade.

We're hoping for a place on a creative course at West Cheshire College. Can a tutor help?

Yes, we can. A tutor can be a fantastic partner in this process. They can help your child select and perfect pieces that showcase their skills, prepare them for potential auditions or interviews, and build a strong practical portfolio that makes their application stand out.

Is online drum tutoring actually effective? I'm worried about sound quality and visual cues.

It's a great question, and yes, it's highly effective! Tutors use high-quality webcams and microphones, often with multiple camera angles, to demonstrate techniques clearly. The one-to-one focus means they can pick up on subtle details in your child's playing. Plus, your child learns from home in Ellesmere Port, with access to the best tutors across the UK.

How do you ensure your Drums tutors are qualified and safe?

We take this very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team and must provide a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a vetted, high-calibre professional.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Drums tutor?

Finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

What equipment do we need for an online drum lesson?

Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device with a webcam and microphone (like a laptop or tablet), and a stable internet connection. The tutor will guide you on the best camera setup so they can see your child's hands and feet clearly.

My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable?

Definitely. Online tutoring is a brilliant way for beginners to start. They get the tutor's undivided attention in a comfortable environment, allowing them to build a solid foundation in technique and rhythm without feeling self-conscious. Many tutors specialise in teaching beginners.

How much does online Drums tutoring cost for a student in Ellesmere Port?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can browse tutors' profiles to see their specific experience, qualifications, and pricing, allowing you to find the perfect expert to fit your family's budget.

My child also loves music production. Do you offer tutoring for other music subjects?

Yes, we do! Beyond instrument tuition, we have expert tutors for music theory, composition, and software like Logic Pro or Ableton Live. It's a great way to broaden their musical skills and understanding from your home in Ellesmere Port.

How flexible is scheduling? Life can get very busy!

We completely understand. Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor at times that suit your family's schedule, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays.

My child lacks confidence performing in front of others. Can tutoring help?

One-to-one tutoring is one of the best ways to build performance confidence. In a safe, supportive space, your child can try new things, make mistakes without fear of judgement, and get positive, constructive feedback. Seeing their skills improve week by week is a huge confidence booster.

My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The personalised focus helps them make progress much faster than they might in a group setting, often leading to noticeable improvements in both skill and confidence within a few sessions.
