Kevin P
Inspiring, highly experienced tutor Guitar guitar tutor
I started playing guitar at the age of 6 years old when I was at primary school with a beaten up old classical guitar with bent machine heads and crazy string height – it helped me to learn the basics but I didn’t really take to it and didn’t practise at that stage.When I was coming up to my 13th birthday I was kindly offered an electric guitar and that was it, I was hooked! I wore out many tape players trying to copy artists such as Dire Straits, Shadows, Gary Moore and Jeff Beck to name but a few.. I have played everyday since and am always learning new concepts and exploring different appro...

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 feels intimidated by the music scene in southampton. How can a tutor help?
We hear this a lot, and it's a key reason parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, private space where your child can build skills without peer pressure. They can ask questions they'd be too nervous to ask in a group, make mistakes freely, and grow in confidence at their own pace before they even think about jamming with friends.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a music course at a place like Solent University?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare portfolios, practise for auditions, and deepen their understanding of music theory required for further education. They can provide focused, expert guidance to help your child put their best foot forward when applying for creative courses.
Is online Guitar tutoring really as effective as learning in person?
Yes, and it has unique advantages! Tutors can use multiple camera angles to give your child a clear view of finger placement and technique. They can share tabs and resources on-screen instantly, and record parts of the lesson for your child to review later. Plus, it gives students in southampton access to a much wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Guitar tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't the right fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. We're here to help you find the perfect match.
How do you find a tutor who specialises in the style of music my child loves?
Our platform makes it easy. You can use search filters to find tutors who specialise in specific genres, from rock and blues to classical or acoustic folk. You can also read their detailed profiles to learn about their musical background and teaching style before you even send a message.
Beyond Guitar, what other music-related subjects can you help with?
We have a wide range of expert tutors! Many students look for support in songwriting, music theory, bass guitar, ukulele, or even music production. Whatever your child's creative interest, you can likely find an experienced online tutor to help them explore it.
What equipment does my child need for an online Guitar lesson?
It's simple. They'll need their guitar, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! The tutor will handle the rest, sharing any necessary materials digitally.
How much do online Guitar lessons for students in southampton 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 a brilliant tutor who fits within your family's budget, with no hidden costs.
My child has never had a lesson before. Are your tutors good with complete beginners?
Definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in teaching beginners and are fantastic at building a strong foundation in a fun and engaging way. They know exactly how to make those first steps feel exciting and achievable, ensuring your child gets off to the best possible start.
My child is at a large secondary school in southampton. Can tutoring fit around their busy schedule?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You're not restricted to after-school slots with local teachers. You can schedule lessons in the evenings, on weekends, or even during school holidays, finding a time that fits perfectly around their homework and other activities.
How do we track our child's progress on the guitar?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also chat with them through our platform to discuss progress. The best measure, though, is often seeing it for yourself – when your child plays you a new song they've mastered or talks excitedly about their lesson.
What equipment does my child need for an online Guitar lesson?
Yes. We have many tutors with extensive experience in the music curriculum for GCSE and A-Level, including performance pieces, composition, and music theory. They can provide targeted support to complement what your child is learning at their school in southampton.
