Max T
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. Along the way I've picked up other instruments such as the electric guitar and drums and play in bands regularly. I've also learnt about music technology and have a small studio space at my home which I utilise regularly in my teaching and spare time.All these things I like to think make me a well-rounded musician.On the piano I am classically trained but can also teach about the basics of jazz and blues.

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 is hoping to apply to The BRIT School or BIMM. Can we find a tutor with experience preparing students for auditions?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced musicians and educators who have helped students prepare for auditions at top UK music and performing arts colleges. You can check their profiles for specific experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's ambitions.

London's music scene is so competitive. How can a tutor help my child stand out from other young guitarists?

A tutor can help your child develop their unique creative voice. They'll go beyond basic techniques to focus on areas like songwriting, improvisation, and performance style. This mentorship helps your child build not just their skills, but also the confidence and portfolio needed to make an impression.

How do I choose the right guitar tutor for my child?

It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and goals. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. We recommend messaging a few to find a mentor who you feel will really connect with your child.

How much do online guitar lessons in London cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and background, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget.

How does the online classroom work for something practical like music?

Our online classroom is designed for interactive learning. It has high-quality video and audio, so the tutor can clearly see your child's hand positions and hear their playing. Tutors can also share sheet music, tabs, and backing tracks on the interactive whiteboard.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor, and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Is this just for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like music production or songwriting?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, well beyond the core school curriculum. Many of our music tutors are also skilled in related areas like songwriting, music theory, and even music production software, helping your child become a well-rounded musician.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in their playing?

One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise and ask questions without fear of judgement. By celebrating small wins and patiently working through challenges, a tutor can help them build genuine confidence in their abilities.

What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?

All your child needs is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Everything else happens in our purpose-built online classroom.

How long are the lessons, and how often should my child have them?

Lessons are typically an hour long. Most parents find that one session a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor.

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

Yes, definitely. A strong understanding of music theory is crucial for becoming a versatile musician. Many of our guitar tutors are brilliant at making theory engaging and can integrate it directly into the practical lessons.
