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 applying to competitive schools in London. Can guitar grades help their application?
Absolutely. For competitive school and Russell Group university applications, a high-level creative achievement like a Grade 8 in guitar demonstrates immense discipline, commitment, and character. An online tutor can create a structured plan to help your child in Clapham work towards these formal qualifications, making their application truly stand out.
Is online tutoring really effective for a hands-on instrument like the guitar?
Yes, very much so. With high-quality video calls, tutors can clearly demonstrate techniques like finger placement and strumming patterns. They can provide instant feedback on your child's playing, share resources on-screen, and record parts of the lesson for later practice. It's just as effective as in-person, with added convenience.
We have a busy schedule with school and other clubs in Clapham. How flexible is online tutoring?
This is one of the biggest benefits. Because your child learns from home, you cut out all travel time. Tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings and weekends, so you can find a schedule that fits around even the most demanding school commitments. It's support that works for your family's life.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for specific exam boards like ABRSM or Rockschool?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for graded music exams. You can check their profiles for experience with specific exam boards like ABRSM, Trinity, or Rockschool and find someone who can guide your child through the exact syllabus, from performance pieces to music theory.
What if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
We know that the right connection is key. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will be happy to cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.
How do you ensure tutors are high quality and safe to work with?
We're very selective – only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their ID verified, and must provide a valid DBS check. We also analyse their teaching style to ensure they can provide the excellent, supportive experience your child deserves.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?
It's a fantastic way to start! A one-to-one online tutor can give a beginner their undivided attention, building a strong foundation in a supportive, pressure-free environment. They can get your child started with the basics of holding the guitar, reading tablature, and playing their first chords.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
It's simple. Your child will need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! The tutor will share any learning materials digitally through our online classroom.
How do I find the right guitar tutor for my child in Clapham?
Our platform makes it easy. You can filter tutors by their experience, expertise in certain exam boards, and their teaching style. Read their profiles and introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You're not limited to local tutors; you can choose the very best from across the UK to teach your child online.
How much do online guitar lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits within your budget.
Does Tutorful offer tutoring in other creative or academic subjects?
Yes, we do. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths and English to other creative pursuits like Music Theory, Art, and even coding. We're here to support all of your child's learning interests.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?
This is a perfect time to find a tutor. An experienced tutor can help an intermediate or advanced player break through a plateau by introducing new techniques, exploring different genres, or preparing them for a higher-level grade exam. They can provide the fresh perspective needed to take their playing to the next level.
