You do not need to become an expert in music education. Simply tell us about your child's personality, their current level, and what they hope to achieve with Beginner Guitar. We will then carefully select a small number of online tutors who are not just skilled musicians, but experienced educators ready to inspire and build real confidence in every lesson, making learning enjoyable.
Online tutoring means learning fits seamlessly into your family life, wherever you are in the UK. No travel, no disruption, just expert guidance from home. And because finding the right fit is so important, if the first tutor is not quite right, we will cover your initial session when you try a new one.

George E
I'm new to Tutorful and just checking it out. My guitar playing has always been kind of uncomplicated and I've always been lazy with learning theory. George was exactly the tutor I needed to remedy this. He was well-prepared, covered exactly what I wanted to know about, and explained it very clearly. He was also very patient and really went the extra mile to make sure we got through everything he had planned even though I ran late (which won't happen again!).
I am not sure that I will actually stick with online lessons on Tutorful as I'm finding the platform rather buggy and tricky to use, but I don't want to go without recommending George. I would even prefer to do in-person lessons with him if I can make it work with my schedule

Jonathan W
Jonathan is an excellent guitar tutor. I started with Jonathan as a complete beginner and I feel that I am progressing with each session. Each session Jonathan goes through, theory, answers questions and reviews what I have been practicing over the previous week. At the end of each session Jonathan documents what I need to work on over the next week. He offers encouragement and always has multiple hints, tips and advice to improve my guitar playing. Jonathan is very patient and has a passion for guitar playing. I would highly recommend him as a tutor, whether you are a beginner or more advanced.

Farrokh K
Farrokh has been a great electric guitar teacher to me for the last 4-5 weeks. In the hour that the lesson lasts, i believe i learn just enough so i can practice for the rest of the week. I started taking lessons with Farokh because i always wanted to know how to play an instrument, moreover i picked music for my GCSEs which i will be starting in September. The pace of the lesson is never necessarily too fast or too slow, if so i can just ask to slow down. Overall, i really recommend! :-)
