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's school lessons feel very basic. How can a tutor build on that?
We hear this a lot from parents. Our tutors are experts at taking the foundation your child has and building on it significantly. They can introduce more advanced techniques, music theory, and different genres that aren't covered in a group setting, tailoring every lesson to your child's specific interests and skill level to keep them engaged and progressing.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for auditions with Music Partnership North or a university course?
Absolutely. This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. Many of our tutors have experience preparing students for formal auditions and higher education. They can work on performance confidence, technical pieces, and music theory, giving your child in Northumberland the focused preparation they need to stand out.
Is online guitar tutoring as effective as learning in person?
Yes, for thousands of students it is. Online lessons offer unique benefits, like a close-up view of the tutor's hands on the fretboard and the ability to record parts of the session for later practice. Most importantly, it gives your child access to a far wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for a creative subject. We want your child to feel inspired. 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.
We live in a rural part of Northumberland. Is a stable internet connection essential?
A stable internet connection is needed for smooth video lessons. However, our platform is designed to work well on standard home broadband. Many families in rural areas across the UK use Tutorful successfully. The online classroom also has features like a messaging system and file sharing, so resources can be shared even if the connection briefly drops.
What equipment do we need for online guitar lessons?
It's simpler than you might think. Your child will need their guitar, a laptop, tablet or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! No special software is required as all lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom.
How do you vet your guitar tutors?
We take safety and quality very seriously. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID verified, and must provide a valid DBS check. We also check their teaching or academic qualifications to ensure they are experts in their field.
My child is interested in songwriting. Can tutors help with that?
Yes, many of our guitar tutors are also experienced songwriters and musicians. They can guide your child through chord progressions, melody creation, and lyric writing, helping them turn their ideas into finished songs. You can check individual tutor profiles for this specialism.
How much do online guitar lessons cost for a student in Northumberland?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices typically start from £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile.
Beyond guitar, what other music tutors do you have?
We offer a wide range of music tuition! From piano, singing, and drums to music theory, production, and composing. Whatever your child's musical interest, you can find an expert online tutor to support them.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll also see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their excitement to show you a new song they've learnt, and their ability to tackle music they once found too difficult.
How do you vet your guitar tutors?
Of course. Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule sessions at times that fit around school, work, and other family commitments. No more rushing to after-school appointments!
