Well-rounded tutor of Classical Guitar and Rock Guitar
Hello all. I've been playing the piano since I was just 4 years old and took this passion all the way to study music at Manchester University and play at a diploma level.

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 Highgate offers music, but I worry it isn't enough to take guitar seriously. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents. A dedicated online tutor can provide structured, one-to-one lessons focused on graded exams (like Rockschool or Trinity), helping your child build a recognised portfolio of achievement that validates their passion and complements school activities.
With the high academic standards locally, how can guitar tutoring add real value for my child?
Learning an instrument is a fantastic way to develop discipline, focus, and creative problem-solving – skills that are vital for academic success. It also demonstrates a well-rounded character and dedication, which can be a brilliant addition to future sixth form or UCAS applications.
Is online guitar tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Many students and parents find it even better. Our interactive online classroom has features perfect for music, like high-quality audio and screen sharing for tabs and sheet music. Plus, your child gets access to the best specialist tutors across the UK, not just those who happen to live near Highgate.
What if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is crucial for learning. If the first session isn't a 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.
My child is a complete beginner. Can an online tutor help them get started?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in working with students of all levels. They can guide your child through the very basics, from holding the guitar correctly to playing their first chords, in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Are your tutors qualified to prepare students for graded music exams?
Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for formal music qualifications from exam boards like Rockschool, Trinity, and ABRSM. You can view each tutor's specific experience on their profile to find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do you vet your tutors?
We take safety and quality very seriously. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID verified, and must provide a valid DBS check to work with students on our platform.
What equipment do we need for an online guitar lesson?
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! Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
How much do online guitar tutors for students in Highgate cost?
The price varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can we book lessons at a time that suits our family's busy schedule?
Yes. Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can see each tutor's availability on their calendar and book sessions that fit around school, clubs, and other commitments, including evenings and weekends.
How long is a typical guitar lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which gives enough time to warm up, work on new techniques, and review progress. However, you can discuss the ideal lesson length with your chosen tutor to suit your child's age and concentration span.
How do you vet your tutors?
We do! Beyond guitar, we have thousands of expert tutors for a huge range of subjects, both academic and creative. This includes piano, singing, drums, and art, as well as core subjects like maths, English, and science.
