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
Can an online tutor help my child get the grades needed for a competitive Kettering sixth form?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in exam preparation, including formal music grades like Rockschool. They can create a structured learning plan designed to help your child achieve the qualifications that strengthen applications for schools like Bishop Stopford School or Kettering Science Academy.
My child needs formal guitar grades for UCAS points. Is that something an online tutor can help with?
Definitely. This is a very common goal for students. We have many guitar tutors with extensive experience in preparing students for Rockschool, RGT, and other graded exams. They can guide your child through the syllabus, technique, and theory needed to secure those valuable UCAS points for a university application.
Is learning a practical instrument like guitar effective online?
It really is. With high-quality video and audio, tutors can demonstrate techniques, check hand positions, and provide instant feedback just as they would in person. The advantage is that your child can learn from home in Kettering with a specialist from anywhere in the UK, and all lesson materials are stored online for easy access.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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.
How much do online Guitar tutors cost for a student in Kettering?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of specialism. You can view each tutor's profile and pricing transparently before you book, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and must provide professional and academic references. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring your child learns from the very best.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable?
Yes, it's a fantastic way to start. A one-to-one tutor can give a beginner their full attention, ensuring they build good habits from the very first lesson. They can learn the fundamentals at their own pace in a comfortable, supportive environment.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. You can arrange lesson times directly with your chosen tutor. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you have a wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends, to fit around your family's busy schedule in Kettering.
Beyond Guitar, what other music subjects do you offer?
We have a huge range of tutors covering many subjects. In music, you can find tutors for piano, singing, music theory, and even music production. If your child has another interest, from coding to a new language, we're likely to have a brilliant tutor who can help.
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. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss progress, and because you're working towards specific goals like grades, the progress becomes very clear and measurable over time.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable?
Yes, many of our guitar tutors are also experienced songwriters and musicians. If your child wants to explore their creative side, you can find a tutor who can help them with composition, improvisation, and developing their own unique musical style.
