Structured guidance helps your child master music theory, develop technical precision, and build the confidence to perform. Imagine them playing at a local venue like The Junction, not just with passion, but with real musicality. This is the kind of skill that creative institutions notice, helping to build a compelling portfolio for an application to a specialist college like Arts University Plymouth.

The Right Guidance to Shape Your Child's Musical Future

The right tutor doesn't just teach chords; they listen. They take the time to understand your child's musical tastes, their ambitions, and where they get stuck. Whether it’s nailing a tricky solo or preparing for graded exams, they create a supportive space where your child feels understood and capable of real progress. It’s a partnership built on a shared love for music and a belief in your child's ability. This isn't about endlessly repeating scales. It’s a tutor showing your child how music theory unlocks songwriting, or breaking down a complex fingerpicking pattern until it finally clicks. These are the moments of discovery, guided by an expert, that build not just skill, but a deep, lasting confidence. Your child will see their passion validated and their hard work pay off in every note they play. Best of all, this expert support happens from your home in Plymouth, fitting around school, family life, and everything else. No travel, no logistical stress. Your child gets access to the UK's best music tutors online—specialists who can guide them towards their goals, all on a schedule that works for you. It's personalised learning that respects your family's time.

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 considering Arts University Plymouth. Can a tutor help them prepare a strong application?

Absolutely. Many of our specialist tutors have experience helping students build portfolios and prepare for auditions for higher education. They can work with your child on performance pieces, music theory, and technical skills to present their abilities in the best possible light, tailored to the requirements of institutions like Arts University Plymouth.

With the academic pressure from Plymouth's grammar schools, how can tutoring ensure my child's music gets the focus it deserves?

We understand that balancing academics and creative pursuits is a challenge. A dedicated online tutor provides a scheduled, structured time for your child to focus solely on their music. This validates their passion as a serious skill, helping them develop discipline and technique in a way that complements, rather than detracts from, their schoolwork.

Is online Guitar tutoring really as effective as learning in person?

Yes, and for many it's even better. With high-quality video, tutors can clearly demonstrate techniques like hand positioning and fingering. The main advantage is access; your child in Plymouth can learn from a top-tier specialist in any genre, from anywhere in the UK, rather than being limited to whoever is local. Plus, the convenience of learning from home is a huge bonus.

Can a tutor help my child with formal qualifications like Rockschool or ABRSM grades?

Definitely. Many of our Guitar tutors are experienced in preparing students for formal music grades. They understand the syllabus requirements inside-out and can create a tailored lesson plan to cover everything from performance pieces and technical exercises to sight-reading and theory.

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

Finding the right personality match is key. We want your child to feel inspired and comfortable. If the first session with a tutor isn't the perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

What equipment does my child need for an online Guitar lesson?

It's quite simple. Your child will need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Some students find headphones useful to block out distractions, but they aren't essential. The tutor will guide you if anything else is needed.

How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check, professional references, and proof of their qualifications and teaching experience before they can join our platform.

My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring a good place to start?

It's a fantastic place to start! A one-to-one tutor can give a beginner their full attention, ensuring they build good habits from day one and don't get discouraged. They can progress at their own pace in a supportive, encouraging environment.

Are there tutors who specialise in specific genres, like blues, rock, or classical guitar?

Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of Tutorful. Our UK-wide network of tutors means you can find a specialist in almost any genre your child is passionate about. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific areas of expertise to find the perfect match.

How much do online Guitar lessons for students in Plymouth cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits within your family's budget.

Beyond Guitar, do you offer tutoring in other creative subjects?

We do! We believe in nurturing all kinds of skills. Alongside academic subjects, we have tutors for a wide range of creative pursuits, including piano, singing, music production, drama, and art. It's all about helping your child explore their passions.

How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?

Very flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and request slots that work for you. Online tutoring is designed to fit around busy family lives, so you can schedule lessons after school, on weekends, or whenever is most convenient.
