The Focused Support Your Child Needs to Excel
The right tutor doesn't just teach guitar; they understand the precise demands of the exam board. They can see exactly where a performance might be losing marks – whether it's a subtle issue with timing, a lack of dynamic range, or an interpretation that needs more confidence. We help you find that specialist, one of the 1 in 8 who apply that we accept, who can turn a good performance into a truly exceptional one. Your child's lessons will be laser-focused on their specific piece. A tutor might spend a whole session breaking down a tricky arpeggio, perfecting the phrasing in a challenging section, or building the confidence to perform with real conviction. It's this meticulous, one-to-one attention that ensures they walk into their exam feeling prepared, calm, and ready to secure the highest marks. And because it's all online, this expert support fits perfectly into a busy Guildford life. There are no extra journeys or stressful travel times. Your child can have their lesson from the comfort of home, connecting with a top-tier musician from anywhere in the UK. It’s flexible, efficient support designed to deliver the results your child deserves.

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 at a competitive Guildford school. Can a tutor really help their guitar performance impact their university application?
Absolutely. In a competitive environment, a high mark in a practical subject like music demonstrates breadth and dedication. Our tutors specialise in exam performance, helping your child refine their technique and interpretation to secure those top-band marks that make a UCAS application stand out to universities like Surrey and beyond.
How can an online tutor effectively check my child's guitar technique?
It's a great question. Our tutors use high-quality video and audio to get a clear view of hand positioning, posture, and fingerwork. They can provide instant, specific feedback just as they would in person. The platform's features also allow for screen-sharing musical scores and recording parts of the lesson for your child to review, making it incredibly effective for technical refinement.
Are your tutors familiar with the specific requirements of exam boards like AQA or Edexcel for Music A-Level?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for specific exam boards. You can filter your search for tutors with this experience or mention it in your requirements. They understand the marking criteria inside-out and can tailor their coaching to ensure your child's performance meets every single requirement for the top grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We're so confident in our tutors, but we know that chemistry is key. If the first lesson isn't a 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.
My child's schedule is packed with revision and other activities. How flexible is online tutoring?
This is where online tutoring is a real advantage for busy Guildford families. You can schedule lessons at times that suit you – evenings, weekends, even during school holidays. There's no travel time to factor in, making it much easier to fit expert tuition around other commitments.
How are your guitar tutors vetted?
We're incredibly selective because your child's education is too important to leave to chance. We accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous application process, including an interview and a full background check, ensuring you're choosing from the very best talent across the UK.
What styles of guitar do your tutors teach?
Our tutors cover a huge range of styles. Whether your child is preparing a classical piece for an exam, wants to master jazz improvisation, learn acoustic fingerstyle, or rock out on an electric guitar, you can find a specialist tutor to match their goals.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides guitar?
Yes, we do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and English, right through to music theory, coding, and new languages. We're here to support every part of your child's learning journey.
How much do online guitar lessons for a student in Guildford 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 outstanding, experienced tutor whose fee fits within your budget.
What equipment does my child need for an online guitar lesson?
It's very simple. All they need is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
Can tutoring help my child if they're a complete beginner?
Of course! Our tutors love working with beginners. A one-to-one tutor can ensure your child builds a brilliant foundation from their very first lesson, correcting bad habits before they start and nurturing a real passion for the instrument.
What styles of guitar do your tutors teach?
This is one of the most important things a tutor does. By breaking down challenges, celebrating small wins, and methodically preparing for the exam, a tutor helps replace anxiety with confidence. Seeing their own progress week by week is the best confidence-booster there is.
