Online Electric Guitar Tutors

Maybe your child has been learning from online videos and has hit a plateau. Or perhaps the initial excitement of their first guitar has faded, and practice has become a battle. You want to help them rediscover that spark, but you don't know a Stratocaster from a Telecaster. That’s okay. Even when you cannot help your child with the subject, you can still help them. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions to understand what your child needs – from mastering barre chords to preparing for a music grade. We then find the right person to help.

When playing the guitar starts to feel like fun again

With the right person guiding them, practice sessions can stop being a source of frustration. A good tutor knows when to push and when to simply inspire, helping your child move past tricky techniques and start making music they're proud of. It’s about building the confidence to perform, whether that’s in a school band, for a music qualification, or just playing their favourite songs in their bedroom. They don't just get better at guitar; they rediscover why they wanted to play in the first place.

Matched to the right tutor — without the guesswork

You don't need to be a music expert. Our Tutor Finder asks what matters: your child's current ability, their musical goals, and how they learn best. We use this to recommend a small, personalised shortlist of tutors we genuinely believe are the right fit. Every tutor we recommend has passed a rigorous selection process – only 1 in 8 applicants are successful. They’re not just talented musicians; they’re patient teachers who know how to make complex ideas make sense. If the first session isn't quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor for you, free of charge.
