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 Hampstead school. How can Guitar tutoring help their UCAS application for a top university?
It's a fantastic question. Admissions tutors for competitive courses look for evidence of sustained commitment and unique skills. An expert Guitar tutor can help your child work towards a high-level grade (like Grade 8) or develop a portfolio, which demonstrates discipline, creativity, and resilience – all qualities that make a personal statement stand out.
With intense A-Level pressure, how can we fit in Guitar tutoring without it affecting grades?
This is exactly where online tutoring is so valuable for families in Hampstead. There's no travel time, so lessons can be scheduled conveniently around revision and coursework deadlines. It provides a creative outlet that can actually help reduce stress, making academic study more effective. It's about smart scheduling, not adding pressure.
Is online Guitar tutoring as effective as learning in person?
Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Tutors can use screen sharing for music theory, and students can record parts of the lesson to review later. Most importantly, it gives your child in Hampstead access to the best specialist tutors across the UK, not just whoever is available locally. This wider choice often means finding a much better match for their goals.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, 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 level of Guitar do you cater for?
We have tutors for every level, from complete beginners picking up a guitar for the first time to advanced players preparing for grade exams, university auditions, or simply wanting to master a new style like jazz or classical.
How do you ensure your Guitar tutors are high quality?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check. We look for passionate, experienced musicians who are also excellent teachers.
Can a tutor help with music theory and songwriting too?
Absolutely. Many of our Guitar tutors are also experts in music theory, composition, and songwriting. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific areas of expertise and find the perfect person to help your child develop all aspects of their musicality.
What equipment does my child need for an online lesson?
It's simple. They'll need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our tutors conduct lessons via our custom-built online classroom, so no special software is needed.
How quickly can we find a tutor for our child in Hampstead?
You can start looking straight away. Our platform allows you to browse tutors, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to ask questions. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor within 24 hours.
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 excellent tutor who also fits your family's budget.
Does Tutorful offer tutoring for academic subjects as well?
Yes, we do. Alongside creative subjects like Guitar, we offer expert one-to-one tutoring in over 300 subjects, including Maths, English, the sciences, and languages for all levels from 11+ and GCSEs right through to A-Levels and university.
Can a tutor help with music theory and songwriting too?
Definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for formal music qualifications like ABRSM and Rockschool exams. They can guide your child through the syllabus, technical exercises, and performance pieces to ensure they feel confident and ready on exam day.
