More Than Just Chords: Finding Their Stride Through Music
Learning guitar is a powerful way for your child to build their own identity. It’s the thrill of finally nailing the riff from their favourite song, the focus it takes to master a tricky chord progression, and the creative outlet that helps them express who they are. These aren't just musical skills; they're life skills. This newfound confidence can ripple out, helping them connect with peers who share their passion and maybe even feel ready to dream of one day seeing a band at a legendary North London venue like Alexandra Palace.

A Supportive Partnership for Your Young Musician
It all starts with a tutor who genuinely gets it. Someone who remembers what it’s like to feel stuck and knows how to turn that frustration into a breakthrough. Our tutors build a real partnership with your child, creating a space where it's safe to make mistakes and celebrate every small victory – whether that’s a clean chord change or playing a full verse without stopping. We see that moment of pride when they realise, 'I can actually do this'. Together, they'll build a plan that’s all about your child. Forget rigid, one-size-fits-all methods. Is your child into indie, rock, or acoustic pop? Their online tutor will tailor every session to the music they love, focusing on the specific techniques needed to play the songs that inspire them. It’s a collaborative process designed to bring the fun back into playing, transforming practice from a chore into a choice. And all of this happens online, fitting perfectly around your family’s busy North London life. There’s no rushing to lessons after school – just focused, one-to-one support from the comfort of home. This brings the UK’s best music tutors right to your screen, offering your child a patient mentor who can help them find their rhythm and confidence, one lesson at a time.

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 left behind by friends in bands at their North London school. Can a tutor help with confidence?
Absolutely. This is something we see often, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. Our tutors act as mentors, creating a supportive, pressure-free space for your child to learn at their own pace. By focusing on songs they love and celebrating small wins, we help rebuild their self-esteem so they can feel proud of their playing.
Is learning a hands-on instrument like guitar online as effective as in-person?
Yes, many students find it even more effective. With online lessons, tutors can use multiple camera angles to give your child a clear, close-up view of finger placements and techniques. Sessions can also be recorded, so your child can re-watch tricky parts later. It provides a focused, private environment perfect for building skill without distraction.
Could a tutor help my child learn songs by artists who have played at local North London venues?
Definitely! Our tutors love to make learning relevant and exciting. If your child is inspired by bands that have played at venues like The Roundhouse or Ally Pally, just let the tutor know. They can build lessons around learning those specific songs and styles, connecting your child's hobby to their local culture.
What if my child doesn't click with the first guitar tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do we find a tutor who specialises in a specific style my child likes?
Our platform makes it easy. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in everything from rock and blues to acoustic folk and jazz. You can also read tutor profiles and reviews to get a feel for their teaching style and musical expertise before booking.
What equipment does my child need for an online guitar lesson?
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! Our bespoke online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
My child is a complete beginner. How does a tutor start with them?
Our tutors are brilliant with beginners. They start with the absolute basics in a patient and encouraging way – from how to hold the guitar correctly to learning the first few simple chords and strumming patterns. The goal is to get them playing a recognisable tune as quickly as possible to build momentum and excitement.
How long are the online sessions and how much do they typically cost?
Sessions are usually one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and are displayed clearly on their profile, starting from around £25 per hour. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How flexible is scheduling for a student in North London with lots of other commitments?
That's a key benefit of online tutoring. Our tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings and weekends, to fit around school, sports, and other clubs. You're not limited to local tutors' schedules, giving you far more choice to find a time that works for your family.
Are your guitar tutors experienced musicians themselves?
Yes, all our tutors are vetted for their expertise. We have a diverse community of passionate musicians, from professional session players and music graduates to experienced teachers. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Beyond guitar, can my child learn other creative skills like songwriting?
Yes! Many of our guitar tutors are also skilled in other areas of music. We have tutors who can help with songwriting, music theory, bass guitar, and even music production. It's a great way for your child to explore their creativity more broadly.
My child is a complete beginner. How does a tutor start with them?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both the student and you. You'll be able to see and hear the progress as they start mastering new songs and techniques. The biggest sign, though, is often a change in attitude – when they start picking up their guitar to play for fun again, you know it's working.
