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
My child is preparing for the 11+ in Paddington. Can a tutor specifically help with music scholarship preparation?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many families we work with. You can find tutors with specific experience in preparing students for music scholarship auditions for competitive London schools. They can help with everything from repertoire selection and performance technique to building confidence for the day.
We're aiming for highly competitive London schools. Do your tutors understand what's required?
Yes. Many of our tutors have successfully guided students through the admissions processes for the UK's top independent schools. They understand the high standards required and can tailor their teaching to focus on the musicality, technical skill, and performance poise that admissions panels and music departments are looking for.
Is online piano tutoring as effective as in-person for technique?
Yes, it's highly effective. With a simple setup (a laptop or tablet with a good view of the keyboard), tutors can easily observe hand position, posture, and technique. They provide real-time feedback just as they would in person, with the added benefit of features like screen sharing for music theory and recording snippets for review.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first piano tutor we try?
We know that the right personal connection is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
We feel my child's progress has stalled. How can an online tutor accelerate their learning for grade exams?
An online tutor can provide a fresh perspective and a targeted plan. They can quickly identify the specific barriers holding your child back, whether technical or theoretical, and introduce new practice strategies to overcome them. This focused, one-to-one attention is often the key to breaking through a plateau and regaining momentum for ABRSM or Trinity exams.
How do you vet your piano tutors?
We are incredibly selective because your child's education is too important to leave to chance. We accept just 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is identity and background checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both the subject expertise and the passion for teaching that inspires students.
What equipment do we need for an online piano lesson?
It's simple. You'll need your piano or keyboard, and a device like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone. Placing the device to the side of the piano so the tutor can see your child's hands on the keys is usually the best setup.
How much do online piano lessons cost?
The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor whose lessons fit within your family's budget.
Are tutors available for lessons outside of school hours in Paddington?
Yes. One of the great advantages of online tutoring is its flexibility. Our UK-wide network of tutors offers a wide range of availability, including evenings, weekends, and during school holidays, making it easy to schedule lessons around your child's other commitments.
Can we find a tutor for ABRSM music theory as well?
Yes, definitely. Many of our piano tutors also offer dedicated music theory lessons, which are essential for progressing through the higher grades. You can find specialist theory tutors or ask a prospective piano tutor if they cover it in their lessons.
My other child needs academic help. Do you offer subjects like Maths or English?
We do. Tutorful offers expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths, English, and Science for primary through to A-Level, to languages, coding, and other hobbies. You can find the perfect support for all your children on our platform.
What equipment do we need for an online piano lesson?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which gives enough time to warm up, work on technique, develop repertoire, and cover any theory. However, you can discuss lesson length with your chosen tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions to suit your child's age and concentration span.
