We connect you with tutors who can build a genuine partnership, helping your child transform their raw talent into structured, confident achievement. Imagine a lesson that moves beyond scales and drills. It’s a deep dive into music theory that will strengthen their university application. It's analysing the song structures of their favourite artists to inspire their own writing. It’s perfecting the performance details that make an audition memorable. This is tailored, one-to-one support that makes every minute of practice count towards a tangible goal. From your home in Islington, your child can connect with specialist music graduates and professional musicians from all over the UK. No rushing to lessons after school, no travel stress.

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 feels the academic pressure from their Islington school. How can a Guitar tutor help them balance this?
We hear this a lot from parents. A great tutor helps make practice time more efficient and goal-oriented, turning it into a productive part of their schedule rather than a distraction. They can structure lessons around graded exams that provide UCAS points, directly contributing to their academic profile and showing that their musical dedication is a strength.
How can an online tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for competitive London music schools like Guildhall?
Our tutors include graduates from top UK conservatoires who know exactly what admissions panels are looking for. They can provide expert guidance on everything from choosing the right audition pieces and honing technical skills to understanding the music theory requirements, giving your child in Islington the best possible chance.
Is online Guitar tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Absolutely. With high-quality video and audio, tutors can demonstrate techniques and give real-time feedback just as they would in person. The big advantage is access. Your child in Islington can learn from a specialist in any genre, from anywhere in the UK, without you having to travel a single mile.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right match.
What equipment does my child need for online Guitar lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our tutors use our purpose-built online classroom, so no special software is required.
How do you vet your tutors?
We're extremely selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications verified, and must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform.
Can we find a tutor for a specific style, like jazz or metal?
Yes! That's one of the best things about online tutoring. You're not limited to who lives nearby in Islington. You can use our search filters to find tutors who are experts in the specific genre your child is passionate about, whether it's classical, blues, rock, or something else entirely.
My child is also interested in songwriting and music production. Do you offer that?
Yes, we do. Many of our guitar tutors are also accomplished songwriters and producers who can help your child explore the creative side of music. We also have specialist tutors in subjects like Music Technology and Composition. You can find support for a wide range of skills on Tutorful.
How much do online Guitar lessons 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 long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for Rockschool or Trinity exams?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for graded music exams. They can guide your child through the syllabus, work on technical exercises, and build their confidence for both the practical and theory elements of the exam.
We live near music venues like The Garage. Can a tutor help my child develop performance skills?
That's a fantastic goal. Many of our tutors are active musicians themselves and can provide brilliant coaching on performance confidence, stage presence, and how to connect with an audience. They can help your child take their skills from their bedroom to the stage.
Can we find a tutor for a specific style, like jazz or metal?
It's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons for times that suit your family's busy schedule, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during holidays. Online tutoring is designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.
