It’s the skill that helps your child connect with friends, join a band, and become part of oxford's incredible youth music culture. Imagine them having the confidence to perform at a school open mic or even one day play a set at a local venue. Mastering an instrument builds resilience and creativity – skills that will serve them well, whether they study at Oxford Brookes, pursue music professionally, or simply carry a lifelong passion.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Play with Pride
The right tutor doesn't just teach; they connect. They'll take the time to understand what music makes your child tick and what's holding them back. Is it a tricky barre chord? Or the confidence to improvise? We find someone who gets it, creating a supportive space where your child feels seen, heard, and ready to progress without the pressure of comparing themselves to others. Forget one-size-fits-all lessons. A Tutorful session is built around your child. They might spend the hour breaking down a song they love, learning the theory behind it without even realising. Or maybe they'll work on songwriting, turning their own ideas into music. It’s these moments of discovery that rebuild enthusiasm and show them they absolutely can keep up with their peers. Life in oxford is busy. That's why online tutoring is such a game-changer. Your child can have their lesson from their own room, fitting it perfectly around school, sport, and family life. It also means they're not limited to tutors nearby. We connect students in oxford with inspiring guitar specialists from across the UK, bringing the perfect teacher directly to you.

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! :-)

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child feels behind their peers at school in oxford. Can a tutor help them catch up?
Absolutely. This is a very common feeling, especially in a city with such a strong music scene. A one-to-one online tutor can create a pressure-free space for your child to work on the specific areas they find tricky. They can build confidence at their own pace, so they feel ready and excited to join in with their friends.
Are there tutors who can help my child prepare for joining a band or playing in oxford's youth music scene?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors are experienced musicians themselves. They can help your child with everything from learning popular songs and understanding song structure to improvisation and playing with others. It's the perfect way to build the practical skills and confidence needed to become part of oxford's brilliant music community.
Is online guitar tutoring really as effective as learning in person?
We've found it to be just as effective, with some amazing added benefits. Your child gets focused, one-to-one attention. Plus, online lessons mean you can connect your child in oxford with a specialist tutor from anywhere in the UK – whether they need a blues expert or a folk aficionado – all without leaving the house.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. We understand that it might not be a perfect fit the first time. 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.
What equipment does my child need for an online guitar lesson?
It's simpler than you might think! All your child needs is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our tutors are brilliant at making the online experience feel seamless and engaging.
How do you ensure the tutors are qualified and safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and must pass an enhanced DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific genre, like rock, acoustic, or blues?
Yes! That's one of the biggest advantages of our UK-wide network. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the exact style of music your child is passionate about, giving them a much richer and more engaging learning experience.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?
Online tutoring is fantastic for beginners. A tutor can give them undivided attention to ensure they get the fundamentals right from the start, like posture and finger placement, which prevents bad habits from forming. It's a great way to start their musical journey on a positive note.
Does Tutorful offer tutoring for other instruments or creative subjects besides guitar?
We do! We have a huge range of tutors covering everything from piano, drums, and singing to art, drama, and even digital animation. Whatever your child's passion, we can likely find an expert online tutor to help them explore it.
How much do online guitar lessons for students in oxford typically cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. This allows you to find an excellent, experienced tutor who also fits within your family's budget.
Can my child get help with music theory or songwriting as part of their guitar lessons?
Of course. Our tutors can tailor lessons to your child's goals. If they want to understand the theory behind the music or start writing their own songs, just mention it when you message a tutor. They'll be happy to build that into their sessions.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific genre, like rock, acoustic, or blues?
Very flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange times that work for your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. It's all designed to fit around your busy life.
