Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ at a competitive central London school. Can a keyboard tutor help their application?

Absolutely. Many parents in central London use our tutors for this exact reason. A specialist tutor can guide your child through ABRSM grades, which demonstrates commitment and discipline on an application. They help build a strong musical portfolio that can give your child a significant advantage in fiercely competitive school admissions processes.

We live in central London and our schedule is hectic. How flexible are online keyboard lessons?

This is where online tutoring is a perfect fit. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during a holiday break. It eliminates travel time, making it much easier to fit quality music tuition into a busy central London lifestyle.

Is online tutoring for a practical subject like keyboard really effective?

Yes, it’s incredibly effective. Tutors use high-quality video calls and often have multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand positions and technique. With features like screen sharing for music theory, it’s a focused and interactive experience. Plus, your child learns on their own instrument at home, which is a huge advantage.

What equipment does my child need for online keyboard lessons?

It's simple. Your child will need a keyboard or piano, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Their tutor will guide you if any other resources, like specific sheet music, are needed.

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

We know the right relationship is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the perfect fit for your child, 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 do you ensure tutors are qualified to teach ABRSM grades?

We take quality very seriously. Many of our tutors are professional musicians or experienced teachers who mention their expertise with specific exam boards like ABRSM in their profiles. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.

My child has lost confidence with their playing. Can a tutor help?

This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, rebuilding their confidence away from the pressure of a group class. They celebrate small wins and make learning fun again, which can completely transform your child's relationship with their instrument.

How much do online keyboard lessons cost for a student in central London?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you'll find a wide range of pricing options, giving you more choice than you might find locally.

Beyond classical keyboard, can my child learn other music skills?

Yes! We have a huge range of tutors with diverse skills. Whether your child is interested in jazz piano, music theory, composition, or even music production software, you can find a specialist tutor to help them explore their passion. It's a great way to broaden their musical horizons.

How are your tutors background-checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check, including an Enhanced DBS check, before they can teach on our platform. We also verify their ID and references to ensure they are fully vetted.

Can we find a tutor who matches my child's specific learning style?

Of course. Each tutor has a detailed profile with an introductory video, student reviews, and information about their teaching style. This helps you find someone whose approach—whether it's patient and nurturing or energetic and structured—is a perfect match for your child.

My child has lost confidence with their playing. Can a tutor help?

This really depends on the individual student, the grade level, and how much they practise. Your tutor will be able to create a personalised learning plan and give you a realistic idea of the timeline after the first few sessions. Their goal is to ensure your child is confident and fully prepared, not rushed.
