From Bedroom Riffs to Festival Stages: The Future Your Child Can Build
Learning guitar is about so much more than theory. It's about the confidence to collaborate with others, the discipline to practise a tricky solo until it's perfect, and the creative joy of writing their own music. These are skills that build resilience and open doors, whether they're aiming to play at a local Matlock festival, join their first band, or simply have a creative outlet that brings them happiness for years to come. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade in their chosen subject.

The Right Tutor to Nurture Their Musical Passion
Imagine a tutor who doesn't just teach scales, but asks, 'What band do you love? Let's learn that riff.' It's about finding someone who tunes into your child's musical taste and builds lessons around what excites them. This personal connection, where a student feels truly heard and understood, is where real confidence begins to grow, turning 'I can't' into 'Watch this!'. Each session is shaped entirely around your child's goals. One week might focus on mastering the power chords for their favourite rock song; the next could be understanding the blues scale for improvisation or even songwriting basics. The tutor adapts every lesson, focusing on the practical skills needed to play with others, building the confidence they need to step out of their bedroom and into a jam session. And this all happens online, from the comfort of your home in Matlock. No need to travel for lessons after a long day. Your child gets access to inspiring guitar specialists from all over the UK—we only accept 1 in 8 who apply—fitting sessions easily around school, hobbies, and family life. It's expert musical guidance, made to work for you.

Jonah S
Jonah is very easy to work with. He seems to genuinely be interested in helping me and my progress . He challenges without being pushy, and in the short time I’ve spent with him, I’ve already grown as a guitarist. He also has a wide range of knowledge in every area that pertain to me producing my own music. Very highly recommended!

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! :-)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is inspired by the Matlock music scene. Can a tutor help them gain the practical skills to join in?
Absolutely. That's a perfect goal for our tutors. They can focus specifically on the practical skills needed for playing with others, from rhythm and timing to learning popular songs and even improvisation, helping your child build the confidence to get involved in the local scene.
School music lessons can be quite broad. Can an online tutor focus specifically on contemporary guitar?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits. Unlike a general class curriculum, a one-to-one online tutor can tailor every single lesson to your child's interests, whether that's rock, pop, folk, blues, or any other contemporary style they're passionate about.
Is online guitar tutoring as effective as learning in person?
Many parents find it's even more effective. With features like screen sharing for tabs and multiple camera angles, tutors can provide clear, detailed instruction. Plus, your child learns from the comfort of home in Matlock, with access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. If the first session isn't the right 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.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with beginners. They can start right from the basics, like how to hold the guitar and play the first chords, creating a supportive and fun environment where your child can learn at their own pace without any pressure.
Are your guitar tutors experienced players and teachers?
Yes. All our tutors are not only skilled musicians but also experienced teachers. They go through a thorough vetting process, including background checks, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What equipment does my child need for an online guitar lesson?
All they'll need is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is simple to use, and the tutor will guide them through everything.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific genre, like rock, folk or blues?
Definitely. Our platform allows you to filter tutors by their specialisms. You can easily find an expert who shares your child's passion for a specific style of music, making the lessons even more engaging and relevant for them.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit your family's schedule. Whether it's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays, you'll find a time that works.
How much do online guitar lessons for a student in Matlock cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Beyond guitar, do you offer tutoring for other creative subjects?
Yes, we do. We have tutors for a huge range of subjects, from other instruments like piano and drums to subjects like art, drama, and even coding. It's all about helping your child explore their passions, whatever they may be.
What equipment does my child need for an online guitar lesson?
Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll also see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their excitement to show you a new song they've learnt, and their enthusiasm for picking up the guitar to practise.
