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 dreams of studying at a college like BIMM or ACM in London. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced musicians who have been through the audition process themselves. They can provide invaluable mentorship, helping your child prepare their audition pieces, build a strong portfolio, and develop a unique creative style that will help them stand out to the admissions panel.
How can an online tutor understand the competitive London music scene?
We have tutors based all across the UK, including many who are active in the London music scene as performers and teachers. They bring real-world experience to their lessons, offering practical advice and insights that go far beyond what's in a textbook, which can be a huge advantage for your child.
How do I choose the right Drums tutor for my child?
It's a great question. We recommend reading through tutor profiles, checking their experience, and watching their introduction videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and ensure it's a good match.
How much do online Drums lessons cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your family's budget.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety and quality of learning are our top priorities. We personally interview every tutor and all of them are background-checked. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. A great tutor celebrates small wins, helps them overcome challenges, and gives them the confidence to express themselves creatively, which is vital for any musician.
What equipment does my child need for online drum lessons?
Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop or tablet), and a stable internet connection. Their tutor can give you specific advice on the best camera angles to use during your first lesson.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific genre, like jazz or rock?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors have specialisms in different genres. You can use the filters on our search page to find a tutor who has the specific experience your child is looking for to help them develop their skills in the style of music they love.
Do you only offer academic tutors, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, far beyond just the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get help with music production, learn to code, or even pick up a new language, we have expert tutors ready to help them explore their passions.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and interactive space designed specifically for one-to-one learning, making it easy for your child to connect and learn from anywhere.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Most of our students have one lesson a week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to create a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine.
