The right guidance helps them build a strong portfolio of work, giving them a real advantage when applying for competitive creative courses, like those at De Montfort University, or the technical skill needed to join their first band.

One-to-One Guitar Tutoring That Hits the Right Note

The best progress happens when a tutor truly understands your child’s musical taste and ambitions. Our tutors take the time to discover what music excites your child, whether it's rock, pop, or acoustic folk. They then craft lessons around that passion, transforming practice from a chore into a creative session they’ll look forward to all week. It’s a partnership that builds skills and self-belief together. This means sessions are focused on tangible goals. Is your child trying to nail a tricky solo? A tutor can break it down, note by note. Do they want to write their own songs? A tutor can guide them through structure, melody, and lyrics. Each lesson is a practical step towards becoming the musician your child wants to be, moving them far beyond the limits of a standard curriculum. And it all happens online, fitting perfectly around your family’s schedule in Leicester. There’s no travel, no stress – just access to the UK’s best music tutors from the comfort of your home. We've helped over 200,000 students find their rhythm, and with tutors vetted for quality and experience, you can be sure your child is getting the expert support they deserve.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

School lessons feel generic. Can an online tutor help my child connect with Leicester's music scene?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are active musicians with real-world industry experience. They can mentor your child on everything from performance technique to songwriting, giving them the practical skills and confidence needed to get involved in Leicester's vibrant live music community.

Can a tutor help my child build a portfolio for a university course, like those at De Montfort?

Yes, this is a perfect goal for one-to-one tutoring. A tutor can help your child develop and record original material, refine their technical skills, and curate a portfolio of work that showcases their unique talent, which is essential for competitive creative industries courses.

Is online guitar tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?

Many students find it even more effective. Online lessons use features like screen-sharing for music tabs and theory, and sessions can be recorded for your child to review later. Plus, it gives your Leicester-based student access to a much wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK.

What if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason the first lesson isn't a perfect match, 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 equipment does my child need for their online 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! The tutor will guide them through everything else in the first session.

Are your tutors able to teach different styles of guitar?

Yes. Our tutors cover a huge range of genres, from rock and blues to classical, jazz, and acoustic folk. You can check each tutor's profile to see their specialisms and find the perfect match for your child's musical tastes.

How do you check your tutors are suitable?

We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID verified, and must provide a background check, so you can be confident your child is learning in a safe and professional environment.

Can a total beginner get lessons through Tutorful?

Of course! We have many tutors who specialise in teaching beginners. They are brilliant at building a strong foundation of skills in a fun and encouraging way, setting your child up for a lifelong love of music.

How much do online guitar lessons typically cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How flexible are the lesson schedules?

Very. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you have a wide choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can arrange lesson times that fit perfectly around your family's commitments in Leicester.

Does Tutorful offer lessons in other creative subjects?

Yes, we do. Beyond guitar, we offer tutoring in a wide range of subjects, including piano, singing, art, and even digital skills like coding and music production. It's a great way to support all of your child's interests.

How do you check your tutors are suitable?

With personalised, one-to-one attention, progress can be remarkably fast. Because the tutor focuses entirely on your child's needs, they can overcome hurdles quickly and build momentum. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and skill after just a few sessions.
