Energetic Guitar tutor
I have recently graduated from the University of Warwick with ambitions to start a Ph.D. in Physics. I received an average of a first in the Maths modules I completed during my degree and a high 2.1 in my Physics modules; I received an Upper-Second Class overall. The modules I chose to study over the course of my degree were taken to simultaneously challenge myself academically and also to allow myself to have knowledge of a wide scope of subjects in order to be a more competent teacher. Multivariable calculus, matrices and operators, statistics, modeling, and linear regression are some of the...

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 at secondary school in Sefton and feels their friends are progressing faster. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common feeling, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor can create a relaxed, pressure-free space for your child to learn at their own pace. They can focus on the specific techniques your child finds tricky, helping them build a solid foundation and regain the confidence to enjoy playing again.
How does online tutoring work for a practical instrument like the guitar?
It works incredibly well! Tutors use high-quality video calls with multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand positions and techniques clearly. Your child gets instant, personalised feedback, just like in person. Plus, features like screen sharing for tabs and chord charts make lessons interactive and effective.
Are your tutors based in Sefton?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Sefton. The benefit of our online platform is that your child isn't limited to tutors who live nearby. From your home in Sefton, they can connect with a specialist in any genre, from anywhere in the country, ensuring they find the perfect match for their needs.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable?
Yes, it's perfect for beginners! A tutor can guide your child through the absolute basics, from how to hold the guitar correctly to strumming their first chords. This personal attention helps prevent bad habits from forming and makes the initial learning curve much less daunting and far more enjoyable.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
We know that the right personal connection is key. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online guitar tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Inspired by Liverpool's music scene, my child wants to learn songwriting. Can you help?
Yes! Many of our guitar tutors are also experienced songwriters and musicians. They can help your child understand music theory, chord progressions, and song structure, giving them the tools and confidence to start writing their own music.
What equipment does my child need for online guitar lessons?
It's simple. All they need is their guitar, a laptop, tablet or phone with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Most modern devices have everything built-in, so you likely have all you need to get started.
Can tutoring help my child prepare for music GCSEs or A-Levels?
Definitely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their performance pieces, composition, and music theory exams for GCSE and A-Level Music. They can provide expert guidance to complement what your child is learning at school.
How do we find the right tutor for our child?
You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by subject, price, and availability. You can also read reviews from other parents and watch tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Feel free to message a few tutors to find the perfect fit before booking.
Beyond guitar, what other subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. Alongside academic subjects like maths and science, we have tutors for other instruments like piano and drums, languages, coding, and even professional skills. It's a huge range of expertise, all accessible online.
Inspired by Liverpool's music scene, my child wants to learn songwriting. Can you help?
Very flexible. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can easily find a time that fits around school, clubs, and family life without the stress of travel.
