Ana N
Ana is really easy to get on with and enthusiastic towards teaching and music in general.
She made a lot of effort catering to my needs as I came from an electronic production side and wasn’t in the need of any qualifications, which really helped me learn what was necessary for me and progress quickly.
Would definitely recommend Ana to anyone from any background for this reason.

Jonny Karl W
I honestly can’t fault the lessons I’ve received from Jonny so far; he’s a fantastic teacher, very friendly, approachable, professional and makes me feel very comfortable and confident to try new challenges, despite the fact I am a perfectionist who is often too hard on myself, Jonny makes me feel proud of my progress and even though I doubted I’d be able to get anything on piano, now I know that I can go as far as I dare to aim. So glad I decided to book with Jonny!

Dom R
I have been taking singing lessons with Dom for over 2 years now and I can say that it has been an inspiring journey. Dom's deep knowledge, professionalism and passion for music is much more than just singing practice, it's a full body experience. Not only focusing on the voice, but on the entire body's role in singing. From detailed warm-ups to physical awareness and A/B checks.
As a musician himself, he brings a rich understanding of interpretation, dynamics, accents and theatricality. He knows exactly how to guide.
Highly recommended.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an online tutor help my child prepare for a music place at a competitive Hackney school like Mossbourne or Stoke Newington?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we work with. Our tutors can specifically focus on audition preparation, performance confidence, and music theory to help your child demonstrate the standout talent these schools look for. You can find tutors with direct experience in preparing students for selective school entries.
My child is inspired by Hackney's diverse music scene. Can we find a tutor who teaches more than just classical piano?
Yes. The advantage of online tutoring is the incredible breadth of specialists available. We connect students in Hackney with tutors across the UK who are experts in jazz, pop, composition, and improvisation. You can find a tutor whose skills perfectly match your child's creative interests.
We live in Hackney, why should we choose an online tutor over someone local?
Choosing an online tutor gives your child access to the best specialists from across the entire UK, not just who happens to live nearby. This means you can find the perfect match for your child's specific needs, personality, and goals, all from the comfort and convenience of your home without any travel.
How do online piano lessons actually work?
It's simple! All you need is a device (like a laptop or tablet) with a camera and a stable internet connection. Lessons happen via video call in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes interactive tools. Tutors use multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand positions and technique effectively.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for an instrument like the piano?
Yes, for thousands of families it is. Our platform is designed to make online learning seamless and engaging. In fact, many students find they are more focused learning from their own home on their own instrument. With over 4,100 positive reviews, parents tell us it makes a real difference to both grades and confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right fit is the most important thing. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much do online piano tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price on our platform to find someone who fits your budget.
How are your piano tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident your child is learning from a true professional.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency and allows time for practice in between. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as frequently as you and your tutor feel is needed, especially when preparing for an exam or audition.
Can tutoring help if my child is losing interest in playing?
Definitely. A great tutor can be fantastic for reigniting a child's passion. They can introduce new music, try different styles, and find what truly excites your child about playing, turning practice from a chore into a joy.
Does my child need to be at a certain level to start?
Not at all. Our tutors work with students of all abilities, from complete beginners who have never touched a piano to advanced players preparing for Grade 8 exams and beyond. Lessons are always tailored to the student's current level.
How much do online piano tutors cost?
Yes! We have a wide range of tutors covering many creative subjects. If your child wants to explore songwriting, music theory, or even digital music production, you can find expert tutors ready to help them develop those skills online.
