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.

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! :-)

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.

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.
