The One-to-One Guitar Support Your Child Deserves
A great tutor doesn't just teach; they connect. They'll take the time to discover what music makes your child tick – whether it's rock, pop, folk, or blues – and build lessons around the songs they love. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It's a partnership where your child feels heard and understood, turning practice from a chore into something they genuinely look forward to. Imagine lessons where progress is clear and exciting. One week, they're mastering a tricky chord change in their favourite song; the next, they're learning the theory behind a great solo. Our tutors, of whom we only accept 1 in 8 applicants, know how to break down challenges into small, achievable steps. They celebrate every little win, building momentum and helping your child see that they really can do this. And it all happens online, from your home in Highbury. No stressful journeys across London, just incredible teaching that fits around your life. It means your child isn't limited to tutors nearby; they can learn from a seasoned session musician or a specialist teacher from anywhere in the UK.

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’s school in Highbury offers group music lessons. How is this different?
Group lessons are a great introduction, but one-to-one online tutoring provides focused, personal attention. The tutor can tailor every single lesson to your child's pace, musical tastes, and specific challenges, which is often what’s needed to keep their initial passion for the guitar alive and growing.
Is online tutoring effective for a hands-on instrument like the guitar?
Absolutely. Tutors use high-quality video and audio to demonstrate techniques clearly. Many find it's even better, as they can use multiple camera angles for things like finger placement and strumming. Plus, lessons can be recorded, so your child can re-watch tricky parts whenever they need.
We live in Highbury, but are the tutors based there?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Highbury. The beauty of our online platform is that your child can connect with the perfect Guitar expert for their needs, regardless of geography. This gives you a much wider choice of top-quality, vetted tutors than if you were limited to your local area.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for music grades or a scholarship?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for formal music qualifications, including ABRSM or Trinity grades, and helping them build a portfolio for scholarships at competitive London schools. You can find tutors with this specific experience by using the filters on our site.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key. 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 your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online Guitar tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How are your tutors selected?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their ID verified, and undergoes a background check to ensure they are of the highest standard.
What equipment does my child need for online Guitar lessons?
It's simple: they'll need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
How flexible is the scheduling?
Extremely flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor to find slots that fit around school, clubs, and family commitments. Whether you need lessons weekly, fortnightly, or on an ad-hoc basis, you can find a schedule that works for you.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with beginners and have the expertise to get them started on the right foot, building good habits and making sure those first steps are fun and encouraging.
Beyond guitar, do you offer tutoring in other creative subjects?
Yes, we do. We have tutors for a wide range of subjects, including other instruments like piano and violin, as well as academic subjects, coding, languages, and even skills like public speaking. It's all about helping your child explore their interests.
How are your tutors selected?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them directly through our platform at any time to ask questions or discuss their development. It's a collaborative process to help your child thrive.
