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
How can a tutor stop my child from getting frustrated and giving up the guitar?
This is a common concern, and it's where a great tutor makes all the difference. They are skilled at breaking down challenges into small, manageable steps. By celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to your child's musical tastes, they make learning fun and ensure your child sees consistent progress, which is the best motivation to keep going.
My child is interested in a creative course at Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare portfolios or audition pieces for college and university applications. They can help your child build the foundational skills and confidence needed to showcase their talent and passion for music.
How do I choose the right guitar tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and goals. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their ratings from other parents, and watch introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much do online guitar lessons cost in Basingstoke?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience, so you can easily find a highly-rated, experienced tutor that fits within your family's budget.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
It's simpler than you might think! All your child needs is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has all the tools they'll need for a great lesson.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills, well beyond the school curriculum. From hobbies like guitar, piano, and art, to professional skills like coding, we're here to support your child's passions and personal development.
How do I know if my child is actually making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see how your child is developing. The clearest sign of progress is often your child's own enthusiasm – when they start playing for fun without being asked, you'll know the lessons are working!
Can my child learn a specific style, like rock or acoustic guitar?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in particular styles of music. You can use our search filters to find a tutor who is an expert in the genre your child is passionate about, whether that's rock, pop, folk, or classical.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, which gives enough time to cover new material and practice. We generally find that a regular weekly lesson is the most effective way to build momentum and ensure steady progress without overwhelming your child.
Can a tutor help my child who is a complete beginner?
Of course. Our tutors are fantastic with beginners. They have the patience and expertise to start with the absolute basics, like how to hold the guitar and play the first few chords, building a strong and confident foundation from day one.
