Online Grade 8+ Guitar Tutoring

Your child has mastered the basics, but now they're hitting a wall with advanced techniques or complex theory. You can see their passion, but the pieces they want to play feel just out of reach, and you’re not sure how to help them bridge that gap. You don't have to be a music expert to find them the right support. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about their goals and playing style to match them with a specialist guitar tutor. Even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.

More than practice — finding their own style

The right tutor does more than teach scales and theory. They help your child connect with the music on a deeper level, building the confidence to improvise, compose, and develop their unique artistic voice. It's about turning technical skill into true musicianship. This isn't just about passing an exam; it's about preparing them for auditions, university courses, or simply a lifetime of loving the instrument they play.

Matched to a specialist — without the guesswork

Our Tutor Finder asks questions you might not know to ask — about your child’s goals, their preferred musical styles, and how they learn best. We then find a small, personalised shortlist of tutors we'd genuinely recommend. No scrolling through endless lists. Every tutor is an expert, not just in their instrument but in teaching. We accept only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're meeting someone who knows how to inspire advanced students. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor at no extra charge.

Paolo C
Experienced Humanities-Music-Italian Tutor Guitar
I strongly believe that every student can achieve excellent results when learning is driven by curiosity, motivation, and genuine interest. While examination success is important, education should be about much more than simply passing tests. My aim is to help students develop confidence, critical thinking, creativity, and a lasting enthusiasm for their subject.Over the years I have learned that every student thinks differently. One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching is discovering the learning style that best suits each individual and adapting lessons accordingly. I strive to create a supportive...

Kevin P
Inspiring, highly experienced tutor Guitar guitar tutor
I started playing guitar at the age of 6 years old when I was at primary school with a beaten up old classical guitar with bent machine heads and crazy string height – it helped me to learn the basics but I didn’t really take to it and didn’t practise at that stage.When I was coming up to my 13th birthday I was kindly offered an electric guitar and that was it, I was hooked! I wore out many tape players trying to copy artists such as Dire Straits, Shadows, Gary Moore and Jeff Beck to name but a few.. I have played everyday since and am always learning new concepts and exploring different appro...
