Well-rounded tutor of Classical Guitar and Rock Guitar
Hello all. I've been playing the piano since I was just 4 years old and took this passion all the way to study music at Manchester University and play at a diploma level.

I've also learnt about music technology and have a small studio space at my home which I utilise regularly in my teaching and spare time.All these things I like to think make me a well-rounded musician.On the piano I am classically trained but can also teach about the basics of jazz and blues.

Ben H
Engaging Guitar tutor
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning. Very few people learn by being told something once, so my tutoring sessions are generally about discovery, mastery and learning side by side to answer the big questions along with my years of expertise providing the content.I have worked in education for 12 years in all sorts of settings, with a huge range of pupils. My track record is impressive and I firmly believe...

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! :-)

Your child can learn from home, fitting sessions around homework, extracurriculars, and revision, without any travel time. This means their passion for guitar can flourish without compromising their academic commitments.
Will learning guitar through Tutorful help my child with university applications, especially when balancing studies at schools like Queen Elizabeth's or Henrietta Barnett?
Absolutely. Top universities value well-rounded individuals. Achieving graded music exams (like ABRSM or Trinity) through dedicated study showcases commitment, discipline, and a strong work ethic. It demonstrates that your child can manage diverse interests alongside academic excellence, significantly enhancing their overall profile for competitive applications.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like guitar?
Tutorful offers a wide range of subjects beyond traditional academics! While we excel in areas like GCSE Maths and A-Level English, we also provide expert tutors for skills like guitar, piano, coding, and even personal development. We believe in supporting your child's learning journey in any area they want to grow.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first guitar tutor?
We want your child to have the best possible learning experience. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. We'll help you find a better match.
How do I choose the best online guitar tutor for my child?
You can browse our tutors' profiles, watch their intro videos, and read reviews from other parents. Each profile includes their experience, qualifications (like graded exam specialisms), and teaching approach. We encourage you to message a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals and see who feels like the best fit.
How much do online guitar lessons typically cost?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find options to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
How do online guitar lessons work?
It's really simple! Your child connects with their tutor via our virtual classroom using a computer or tablet. They'll use video, an interactive whiteboard, and shared documents. For guitar, the tutor can demonstrate techniques, share sheet music, and provide real-time feedback, making it a highly engaging and effective learning environment.
Can my child prepare for graded music exams like ABRSM or Trinity with a Tutorful tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our guitar tutors specialise in preparing students for graded exams from bodies like ABRSM and Trinity. They can guide your child through scales, sight-reading, technical exercises, and repertoire, ensuring they are confident and well-prepared for their assessments.
How does a guitar tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where your child feels comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. Tutors celebrate small wins, provide positive reinforcement, and tailor lessons to build on your child's strengths, gradually tackling challenges. This personalised attention is incredibly effective for boosting self-esteem and encouraging a love for learning.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
Your child will need their guitar (acoustic or electric), a reliable internet connection, and a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone. Some students also like to use a stand for their sheet music or a tuner, but their tutor can advise on any additional accessories as they progress.
Can a tutor help my child with specific guitar genres or techniques?
Yes, many of our guitar tutors have expertise in various genres, from rock and pop to classical, jazz, and folk. Whether your child wants to master fingerpicking, learn improvisation, understand music theory, or play their favourite band's songs, you can find a tutor who matches their specific interests and goals.
Are the guitar tutors on Tutorful fully vetted?
Yes, absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on Tutorful undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including an interview, qualifications check, and an enhanced DBS check (Disclosure and Barring Service).
