Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child dreams of studying at UWTSD or RWCMD. Can a tutor help prepare their portfolio?

Absolutely. This is a brilliant way to use a tutor. They can provide expert guidance on selecting performance pieces, refining technique, and even help with the theory and aural test components of an audition, giving your child in Swansea the best possible chance to impress.

The local music scene in Swansea is very competitive. How can an online tutor help my child stand out?

An online tutor gives your child a competitive edge by connecting them with specialists from across the UK. They can bring fresh perspectives and advanced techniques that might not be readily available locally, helping your child develop a unique style and the technical precision needed to be noticed.

Is online drums tutoring as effective as having a tutor in the room?

Yes, many students find it even more effective. With multiple camera angles (e.g., overhead and on the pedals), our tutors get a clear view of technique. Your child learns on their own kit from the comfort of home, and you get access to a far wider choice of specialist tutors than you would locally in Swansea.

What equipment does my child need for online drums lessons?

All they'll need is their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop or tablet), and a stable internet connection. The tutor will guide you on the best setup during your first chat.

What if my child doesn't get on with their first drums tutor?

It's really important that your child and their tutor click. If it’s not 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. We're here to help you find the perfect match.

Can tutors help my child prepare for Rockschool or Trinity grade exams?

Yes, many of our drums tutors are specialists in preparing students for grade exams. They have a deep understanding of the syllabus requirements, from technical exercises to performance pieces, and can guide your child through each level with confidence.

How do I know if a tutor is properly qualified?

We take quality very seriously. Every tutor's profile clearly lists their qualifications, musical background, and teaching experience. We interview every tutor and only 1 in 8 who apply make it onto our platform, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.

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

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides great momentum and allows time for practice in between. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit around your child's other commitments.

My child also wants to learn music theory. Do you have tutors for that?

We do! Many of our drums tutors also teach music theory, or you can find a dedicated theory specialist. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from academic support in maths and English to other creative skills like guitar, piano, and singing.

How can I track my child's progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can chat with them through our messaging system at any time to discuss progress, goals, and how you can best support your child's practice at home.

How do I know if a tutor is properly qualified?

Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Swansea. This is the great advantage of online tutoring – it gives your child access to a huge range of specialists, rather than being limited to whoever lives nearby. They teach your child online, right in your home.
