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 Newcastle. Will drumming grades actually help their application to universities like Durham?

Absolutely. Achieving higher grades (Grade 6 and above) in music exams like those from Rockschool or Trinity provides valuable UCAS points. More importantly, it demonstrates long-term commitment, discipline, and creativity – qualities that top universities actively look for. It helps your child present a more well-rounded and impressive profile.

How can an online tutor help my child balance their drumming passion with demanding academic work at a school like RGS?

Our tutors are experts at creating focused, efficient lesson plans. They can help structure your child's practice time effectively, ensuring it complements their academic schedule rather than competing with it. Online lessons also save significant travel time, freeing up more space for study and revision.

Is online drum tutoring really effective? I'm worried about sound and not being in the same room.

It's remarkably effective. With a simple setup (usually a laptop or tablet), tutors can clearly see and hear your child play. They use multiple camera angles and high-quality audio to give real-time feedback on technique, timing, and posture. It offers all the benefits of one-to-one attention with the added convenience of learning from home.

What if my child doesn't click with the first drums tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session with a tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

What equipment does my child need for an online drum lesson?

All they need is their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. The tutor will guide you on the best way to position the device so they can see and hear everything clearly.

Are your tutors experienced in preparing students for specific graded exams?

Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for graded exams from all major boards, including Rockschool, Trinity, and ABRSM. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience or use our search filters to find tutors who focus on exam preparation.

We live in newcastle-upon-tyne. How does online tutoring give us more choice?

By learning online, your child isn't limited to the drum teachers available locally in Newcastle. You have access to a UK-wide network of vetted, highly experienced tutors, including specialists in niche genres or those with extensive experience in the university application process. It brings the best tutor for your child directly to you.

Beyond drumming, can you help with academic subjects for their GCSEs or A-Levels?

We certainly can. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from Maths and Physics to English and Economics. We can provide comprehensive academic support to help your child excel across all their studies.

How much do online drums lessons for a student in Newcastle cost?

The price of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an excellent tutor who also fits within your family's budget.

How do we find a tutor who matches my child's musical interests?

Each tutor has a detailed profile outlining their musical background, favourite genres, and teaching style. You can read reviews from other parents and even message tutors before booking to discuss your child's interests and ensure it's a great match.

Are all tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an ID check and a DBS background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.

We live in newcastle-upon-tyne. How does online tutoring give us more choice?

Many of our tutors are active musicians who can connect lesson material to the real world. They can analyse the techniques of artists who play at venues like The Cluny or Sage Gateshead, helping your child understand the skills needed to perform at that level and fuelling their passion even further.
