Imagine them having the confidence to compose their own music, the technical skill to nail an audition piece for a course at the RWCMD, or the musical understanding to collaborate with other young artists in Cardiff. This is about nurturing their passion and turning it into a tangible, impressive skill set.

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...

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 serious about music. Can a tutor help them prepare for auditions at places like the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama?
Absolutely. This is where one-to-one online tutoring really shines. We can connect your child with tutors who have specific experience in preparing students for higher education auditions. They can help build a strong portfolio, perfect performance pieces, and develop the music theory knowledge needed to impress admissions panels.
How can an online tutor, who isn't physically in Cardiff, help my child get ready for the local music scene?
While our tutors are based across the UK, their focus is on building the universal skills and confidence your child needs to thrive in any music scene. By honing their technique, performance skills, and musicality, their tutor gives them the tools to confidently join a band, play at an open mic night, or collaborate with other young musicians in Cardiff.
Is online guitar tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Yes, and for many it's even better. Online lessons use features like screen-sharing for music sheets or tabs and session recordings for practice. Most importantly, it gives your Cardiff-based child access to a much wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK, ensuring they find the perfect match for their goals and learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
What equipment does my child need for their online guitar lessons?
It's very simple. Your child will need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Their tutor will guide them through everything else during the lesson.
Are your tutors qualified to teach different styles, like rock, classical, or jazz?
Yes. Our tutors come from a wide range of musical backgrounds. When you search, you can view their profiles to see their specific areas of expertise. Whether your child wants to shred like a rock star, master classical fingerpicking, or improvise jazz solos, you can find a tutor who specialises in that style.
Can a tutor also help with GCSE or A-Level Music?
Many of our guitar tutors are also experienced in teaching the academic side of music. They can provide fantastic support for the performance, composition, and theory components of GCSE and A-Level Music, linking practical skills on the guitar to their exam requirements.
Beyond guitar, can my child learn other creative skills like songwriting or music production?
Yes, we have a huge range of tutors covering all sorts of subjects. Many of our music tutors offer lessons in related skills like songwriting, music theory, and even music production software. You can browse our platform to find tutors for almost any skill your child wants to develop.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check. We are committed to creating a safe and positive learning environment.
How much do online guitar lessons for a student in Cardiff cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can easily browse and filter to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
Does online tutoring work for students all over Cardiff?
Yes, absolutely. The great thing about online tutoring is that it doesn't matter if you're in Roath, Llandaff, Llanishen, or Cardiff Bay. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, your child can connect with a fantastic tutor from anywhere in the UK.
Can a tutor also help with GCSE or A-Level Music?
Most sessions are one hour long, which gives enough time to warm up, work on new techniques, and review progress. Most parents find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor.
