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 worried about the SQA Higher Music performance exam. How can an online tutor help?
We completely understand. Our tutors can provide focused, one-to-one support specifically for the SQA performance exam. They can help your child choose appropriate pieces, refine their technical skills, develop their musical interpretation, and build the confidence they need to perform at their best under pressure.
Is online tutoring effective for a practical subject like guitar?
Absolutely. With high-quality video and audio, tutors can clearly see and hear your child play. They can demonstrate techniques, provide instant feedback on hand positioning and tone, and use digital tools to share sheet music and theory exercises. It’s just as effective as in-person, with the added benefit of accessing specialists from across the UK.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for an audition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced musicians and teachers who understand the high standards of top music institutions. They can help your child prepare a polished audition programme, work on specific techniques, and build the all-round musicality that conservatoires are looking for.
How do you ensure your guitar tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to assess their teaching ability, subject expertise, and passion for helping students. You can read reviews from other parents on each tutor’s profile.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right connection is essential. 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 lesson with a new tutor.
How much do online guitar lessons for students in greater-glasgow cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
It's simple! 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 runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
My child plays electric guitar. Do you have tutors who specialise in that?
Yes, we have a wide range of tutors who specialise in different styles and instruments, including electric, acoustic, and classical guitar. You can use the filters on our search page to find a tutor who matches your child’s specific interests, whether it's rock, jazz, folk, or blues.
We live in greater-glasgow. Are the tutors also based here?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in greater-glasgow. This is the great advantage of online tutoring – your child isn't limited to tutors who live nearby. They can connect with the perfect specialist for their needs, wherever they are in the country, all from your home.
My child is a complete beginner. Is tutoring suitable for them?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way for beginners to start. A tutor can ensure they learn the correct techniques from day one, helping them build a solid foundation and stay motivated as they learn their first chords and songs.
Beyond guitar, does Tutorful offer support in other subjects?
Yes, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. From core academic subjects like Maths and English to other creative skills like piano, singing, or even coding, we can help your child explore all their passions.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
