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's school in Preston is very academic. How can guitar lessons help them stand out?
That's a common concern for parents. In a competitive academic environment, creative skills like guitar are incredibly valuable. They demonstrate discipline, creativity, and dedication on UCAS applications. More importantly, they provide a vital outlet for self-expression and build a type of confidence that can't always be found in the classroom.
Can an online tutor help my child prepare a portfolio for a university music course, like those at UCLan?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience guiding students through university applications. They can help with everything from music theory and performance practice to selecting pieces and building a strong portfolio that showcases your child's unique talent and potential.
Is online guitar tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Many students find it even more effective. With online lessons, your child can benefit from multiple camera angles to see finger placements up close. Tutors can share resources instantly, and some sessions can even be recorded for your child to review later. Plus, it brings the UK's best tutors to your home in Preston, without you ever having to travel.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first guitar tutor?
Finding the right personality match is key. We're so confident in our tutors, but we understand that sometimes it's just not the right fit. If you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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 their online lessons?
It's simple. All they need is their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring a good place to start?
Yes, it's a perfect environment for beginners. A one-to-one tutor can give your child their full attention, building foundational skills correctly from day one. It's a supportive, pressure-free way to start their musical journey on the right note.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality and safe?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and must pass a DBS background check. We ensure your child is learning from the best in a safe, professional environment.
How much do online guitar lessons cost for a student in Preston?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and specialisms. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find the perfect fit for your budget.
Can we schedule lessons at different times each week to fit around other commitments?
Of course. Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange session times directly with your chosen tutor to find slots that work around your family's busy schedule. Many tutors offer flexible booking week-to-week.
How quickly will my child see progress with their guitar playing?
Progress varies for every student, but one-to-one tutoring is the fastest way to learn. With personalised feedback and lessons tailored to their pace, your child will build skills and confidence much more quickly than learning from pre-recorded videos or in a group.
Are the tutors based in Preston?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Preston. This is the great advantage of online tutoring – your child in Preston can connect with a top specialist from London, Manchester, or anywhere else, giving you a much wider choice of incredible mentors.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality and safe?
Yes, we do! We believe in nurturing all talents. We have expert tutors for a wide range of subjects, including piano, singing, music theory, art, and even digital skills like coding and graphic design. Whatever your child's passion, we can help them explore it.
